How to write http interceptor for AngularJS 2?

Question

I want to check all my http responses from one place. For example authentication status. If response says user not authenticated any more I wanna redirect or something else. Is there any way to do that.

Answer 1

Here we go

Create a Service like that

export const JWT_RESPONSE_HEADER = 'X-Auth-Token';

@Injectable()
export class AuthHttp extends Http {
  constructor(backend: ConnectionBackend, defaultOptions: RequestOptions) {
    super(backend, defaultOptions);
  }

  request(url: string | Request, options?: RequestOptionsArgs): Observable<Response> {
    const request = super.request(url, this.appendAuthHeader(options));
    request.map(this.saveToken);
    return request;
  }

  get(url: string, options?: RequestOptionsArgs): Observable<Response> {
    const request = super.get(url, this.appendAuthHeader(options));
    request.map(this.saveToken);
    return request;
  }

  post(url: string, body: any, options?: RequestOptionsArgs): Observable<Response> {
    const request = super.post(url, body, this.appendAuthHeader(options));
    request.map(this.saveToken);
    return request;
  }

  put(url: string, body: any, options?: RequestOptionsArgs): Observable<Response> {
    const request = super.put(url, body, this.appendAuthHeader(options));
    request.subscribe(this.saveToken);
    return request;
  }

  delete(url: string, options?: RequestOptionsArgs): Observable<Response> {
    const request = super.delete(url, this.appendAuthHeader(options));
    request.map(this.saveToken);
    return request;
  }

  private appendAuthHeader(options?: RequestOptionsArgs): RequestOptionsArgs {
    let mergedOptions: RequestOptionsArgs;
    if (!options) {
      mergedOptions = { headers: new Headers() };
    } else {
      mergedOptions = options;
    }
    const token = localStorage.getItem(JWT_RESPONSE_HEADER);
    const isTokenSet = mergedOptions.headers.has('Authorization');
    if (token && !isTokenSet) mergedOptions.headers.append('Authorization', `Bearer ${token}`);
    return mergedOptions;
  }

  private saveToken(res: Response): void {
    const token = res.headers.get(JWT_RESPONSE_HEADER);
    if (token) localStorage.setItem(JWT_RESPONSE_HEADER, token);
  }
}

And include it in you app.module.ts like this

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        ContentModule,
        routing,
        HttpModule
    ],
    declarations: [
        AppComponent,
        LoginComponent
    ],
    providers: [
        appRoutingProviders,
        LoginService,
        {
            provide: Http,
            useFactory: (backend: XHRBackend, defaultOptions: RequestOptions) => new AuthHttp(backend, defaultOptions),
            deps: [XHRBackend, RequestOptions]
        }
    ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}

you dont have to make any changes to your other service witch use http
