Angular 4.3 HttpClient : Intercept response

Question

In the documentation about the new HttpClientModule included in the new version of Angular 4.3, the mechanism to intercept requests is explained very well. Ther

Answer 1

I suppose you can use do as @federico-scamuzzi suggested, or you can use map and catch like so:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import {
  HttpErrorResponse,
  HttpEvent,
  HttpHandler,
  HttpInterceptor,
  HttpRequest,
  HttpResponse
} from '@angular/common/http';

import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/catch';
import 'rxjs/add/observable/throw';

@Injectable()
export class AuthInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor {
  intercept(req: HttpRequest, next: HttpHandler): Observable> {
    console.info('req.headers =', req.headers, ';');
    return next.handle(req)
      .map((event: HttpEvent) => {
        if (event instanceof HttpResponse && ~~(event.status / 100) > 3) {
          console.info('HttpResponse::event =', event, ';');
        } else console.info('event =', event, ';');
        return event;
      })
      .catch((err: any, caught) => {
        if (err instanceof HttpErrorResponse) {
          if (err.status === 403) {
            console.info('err.error =', err.error, ';');
          }
          return Observable.throw(err);
        }
      });
  }
}

EDIT: @LalitKushwah was asking about redirecting if(!loggedIn). I use Route Guards, specifically:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { ActivatedRouteSnapshot, CanActivate, Router, RouterStateSnapshot
       } from '@angular/router';

import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';

import { AuthService } from '../../api/auth/auth.service';
import { AlertsService } from '../alerts/alerts.service';

@Injectable()
export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate {
  constructor(private router: Router,
              private alertsService: AlertsService) {}

  canActivate(next: ActivatedRouteSnapshot,
              state: RouterStateSnapshot
              ): Observable | Promise | boolean {
    if (AuthService.loggedIn()) return true;

    const url: string = state.url;

    this.alertsService.add(`Auth required to view ${url}`);
    this.router
      .navigate(['/auth'], { queryParams: { redirectUrl: url } })
      .then(() => {});
    return false;
  }
}

Then I can simply add that as an argument to my route:

{
  path: 'dashboard', loadChildren:'app/dashboard/dashboard.module#DashboardModule',
  canActivate: [AuthGuard]
}
