How to exclude some services like login, register from interceptor Angular 5, HttpClient

Question

i wanted to exclude some services using interceptor.

app.module.js

providers: [     UserService,     RolesService,     {         provide: HTTP_INTERCEPTORS,         useClass: TokenInterceptor,         multi: true       }, ], 

Login.service.ts

return this.httpClient.post(this.appUrl + '/oauth/token', body.toString(), { headers, observe: 'response' }) .map((res: Response) => {   const response = res.body;   this.storeToken(response);   return response; }) .catch((error: any) => {   ErrorLogService.logError(error);   return Observable.throw(new Error(error.status));   }); } 

Answer 1

Although #Fussel's answer (above) works, it's often not good practice to include the interceptor service in every component module. It's counter intuitive and counter productive. We want the interceptor in one place and work for all http requests. One way is to exclude the header binding in the intercept() function based on the url.

intercept(req: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> { const re = /login/gi; // Exclude interceptor for login request: if (req.url.search(re) === -1 ) {   req = req.clone({     setHeaders: {       Authorization: `Bearer ${localStorage.getItem('authToken')}`     }   }); } return next.handle(req); 

}

To give this an answer not only in comments as requested ;-)

To exclude some services (or even the same services used in different components) from an interceptor it's best to split your application into modules and provide the interceptor only in modules where it's needed. For example after logging in or inside of an admin area.

The interceptor may be even provided for single components using the @Component declaration's providers property.
