AngularJS - Does $resource requests send cookies automatically?

Question

I am using a $resource in my angularJS app. Does it send automatically my cookies? I am doing requests on the same domain.

Answer 1

Browser will always send a cookie along with the request (no matter if it's an XHR request or not) as long as all assumptions are met (same domain, matching path, matching port, same protocol, not expired, etc.).

Since $resource service is just a simple Ajax wrapper your cookies will/should be sent (if everything's in place).

Answer 2

No. But if you want to send cookies, then you can try $cookies service to get the cookie and send with API either in the payload or included in the header.

You can also set the cookie in a default header (with $cookies service injected) so you don't have to specify it in all API calls.

var cookie = $cookies.myCookie; // suppose you already set $cookies.myCookie= 'xxx';
$http.defaults.headers.post.Cookies = cookie;
