How to send JWT token as authorization header in angular 6

Question

Currently I used this static code in component .ts file but this one is not work. It returns unauthorized(401). But when I pass token as query string it works fine. Please give a working example for component .ts file.

    import { HttpClient, HttpResponse ,HttpHeaders} from '@angular/common/http';


    var t=`eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJodHRwOlwvXC9sb2NhbGhvc3Q6ODAwMFwvYXBpXC9sb2dpbiIsImlhdCI6MTUzNzcxNTMyNSwiZXhwIjoxNTM3NzE4OTI1LCJuYmYiOjE1Mzc3MTUzMjUsImp0aSI6IlBKWVhnSkVyblQ0WjdLTDAiLCJzdWIiOjYsInBydiI6Ijg3ZTBhZjFlZjlmZDE1ODEyZmRlYzk3MTUzYTE0ZTBiMDQ3NTQ2YWEifQ.1vz5lwPlg6orzkBJijsbBNZrnFnUedsGJUs7BUs0tmM`;

    var headers_object = new HttpHeaders();
        headers_object.append('Content-Type', 'application/json');
        headers_object.append("Authorization", "Bearer " + t);

        const httpOptions = {
          headers: headers_object
        };


   this.http.post(
                  'http://localhost:8000/api/role/Post', {limit:10}, httpOptions
                 ).subscribe(resp => {
                  this.roles = console.log(resp)
                  }
                );

Add AuthInterceptor that will intercept all your http requests and add the token to its headers:

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

@Injectable()
export class AuthInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor {

  intercept(req: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> {
    const token = localStorage.token; // you probably want to store it in localStorage or something

    if (!token) {
      return next.handle(req);
    }

    const req1 = req.clone({
      headers: req.headers.set('Authorization', `Bearer ${token}`),
    });

    return next.handle(req1);
  }

}

Then register it in your AppModule:

@NgModule({
  declarations: [...],
  imports: [...],
  providers: [
    { provide: HTTP_INTERCEPTORS, useClass: AuthInterceptor, multi: true },
  ],
  bootstrap: [ AppComponent ],
})
export class AppModule { }

Answer 2

The problem with your code is that the HttpHeaders class is immutable, so when you call append it actually returns a new instance with the specified value, but does not modify the original object.

Try this

var headers_object = new HttpHeaders().set("Authorization", "Bearer " + t);

Content-Type is set to json by default by HttpClient

If you need to do send a the Authorization token in all your API calls, then it's better to use an interceptor as suggested by Martin
