Hi I've created a generic service from which I can create objects with generic http requests.
The challenge I'm facing now is to pass to each created object a token into their headers if the user is authenticated (i will get a token as response, which is stored in the localStorage)
So basically I can create these custom http objects anywhere (component-wise by injection) on any level. All of them don't have the Authentication Header set yet. Once User is authenticated, all these object to have their Authentication Header set.
Here's the plunker
export class App {
myHttpObject1;
constructor(private myAuth:MyAuth, private myDatabase:MyDatabase) {
this.name = 'Angular2 (Release Candidate!)'
this.myHttpObject1 = this.myDatabase.httpSchema('users')
this.myHttpObject1.log()
// this.myHttpObject1.someOtherMethodes()...
}
login(){
this.myAuth.login()
}
showHeaders(){
this.myHttpObject1.log()
}
}
Below is the Service and one to mock a login.
#Injectable()
export class MyDatabase{
private base_url:string;
private headers :Headers;
constructor(){
this.base_url = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/';
this.headers = new Headers();
this.headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json');
this.headers.append('Authorization','');
}
public httpSchema(path:string){
return new MyHttpObject(path, this.headers || new Headers())
}
}
class MyHttpObject{
constructor(public url:string, public headers:Headers){
}
log(){
console.log(this.url)
console.log(this.headers)
}
post(){
console.log('here could be a http post')
}
}
#Injectable()
export class MyAuth{
login(){
setTimeout(()=>{
console.log('logged In');
localStorage.setItem('token':'mytoken');
},2000)
}
}
Look at the Http Injector, it intercepts the call and adds whatever you need to the http object.

I am new in NestJS and trying to do auth system. I was able to do. So here is what I am doing to get access to auth.
In my controller I have
#Get('/user')
async getUser(#AuthUser() token: string) : Promise<Object> {
return this.authService.getUser(token)
return token
}
Here I am passing a AuthUser decorator I want to avoid passing in controllers.
In the authService.getUser method I have something like this
async getUser(token: string): Promise<Object> {
try {
const user = await this.jwtService.verifyAsync(token)
return user
} catch (error) {
return false
}
}
and my decorator looks like this
import { createParamDecorator, ExecutionContext } from '#nestjs/common';
export const AuthUser = createParamDecorator(
(data = 'u_ses', ctx: ExecutionContext) => {
const request = ctx.switchToHttp().getRequest();
return data ? request.cookies?.[data] : request.cookies;
},
);
I don't like code. If I need to know the user id from a service class or anywhere I would need to pass the token and to get token I need use #AuthUser() token: string)
So I want to do something like this
this.authService.getUser(), here I don't want to pass token or anything and should be able to access this getUser method from anywhere. Since it's a service class, I can inject and use it but I won't have the token.
I tried injecting the decorator inside the service class, but this doesn't work.
One best solution I would prefer is to use the JWT things inside the decorator, so I don't need the service class' method :)
I am looking for a nicer solutions from you :)
Thank you.
Nestjs has NestMiddleware. Here, you can authorize before access to controller like this:
import { Injectable, NestMiddleware, UnauthorizedException } from '#nestjs/common';
import { Request, Response, NextFunction } from 'express';
#Injectable()
export class AuthenticationMiddleware implements NestMiddleware {
use(req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) {
const headerAuthentication = req.headers.authorization;
if(!headerAuthentication) throw new UnauthorizedException('Authorization failed!');
const token = req.headers.authorization.split(' ')[1];
if(token) {
next();
}else {
throw new UnauthorizedException('Authorization failed!');
}
}
}
and in AppModule implement it
configure(consumer: MiddlewareConsumer) {
consumer.apply(AuthenticationMiddleware).forRoutes('/');
}
}
We want to use a backend for i18n in spartacus. Unfortunately this backend needs an oauth2 authentication but spartacus does not send a bearer token when trying to access this webservice endpoint and we get a 401 error. Is there anything we can do?
Right now we try to solve this problem in this way:
What we need to have is implemented in ClientTokenInterceptor, so we adapted this interceptor, changed the if-clause a little bit so it fits to the backend-url for this webservices and provide the interceptor via app.module.ts which works so far. Unfortunately calling this.authService.getClientToken() in our Interceptor returns no token.
constructor(
private authService: AuthService,
private occEndpoints: OccEndpointsService
) {}
intercept(
request: HttpRequest<any>,
next: HttpHandler
): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> {
return this.getClientToken(request).pipe(
take(1),
switchMap((token: ClientToken) => {
if (
token &&
request.url.includes("i18n")
) {
request = request.clone({
setHeaders: {
Authorization: `${token.token_type} ${token.access_token}`,
},
});
}
return next.handle(request);
})
);
}
private getClientToken(request: HttpRequest<any>): Observable<ClientToken> {
if (
InterceptorUtil.getInterceptorParam(USE_CLIENT_TOKEN, request.headers)
) {
return this.authService.getClientToken();
}
return of(null);
}
What do we miss?
Actually there are couple of things not needed in your solution.
I pasted below what I did instead and tested that it is working correctly (and you can see authorization data in the translation files requests).
First issue:
InterceptorUtil.getInterceptorParam(USE_CLIENT_TOKEN, request.headers) you don't need to check that. If you always need the auth data for translation requests just use return this.authService.getClientToken();
Second issue:
In intercept method you didn't cover cases for any other request than translation. Because of that the request for the client token would hang here, because it would wait for token and so on. If you add option for any other case than i18n it starts working as you intend.
Working solution:
#Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class TranslationsInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor {
constructor(private authService: AuthService) {}
intercept(
request: HttpRequest<any>,
next: HttpHandler
): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> {
if (request?.url?.includes('i18n')) {
return this.getClientToken().pipe(
take(1),
switchMap((token: ClientToken) => {
if (token) {
request = request.clone({
setHeaders: {
Authorization: `${token.token_type} ${token.access_token}`,
},
});
}
return next.handle(request);
})
);
} else {
return next.handle(request);
}
}
private getClientToken(): Observable<ClientToken> {
return this.authService.getClientToken();
}
}
I'm currently working on a project using Aurelia as the front-end framework, and I'm wondering if there's a more eloquent and less redundant way to set the request header in my API services. The following is an example.
In this Post service, I have created a configureHeaders method that I'm calling prior to every API call because, otherwise, I run into the case where the web token has changed but the request header isn't updated. While creating this configureHeaders method is a functional workaround, I have to do it for each of my services, and it's feeling very redundant.
Is there a way to configure the request header application-wide so that I don't have to create a configureHeaders method for each service and call it for each request?
import {inject} from 'aurelia-framework';
import {HttpClient} from 'aurelia-http-client';
import environment from 'environment';
#inject(HttpClient)
export class Post {
constructor(http) {
this.http = http;
}
configureHeaders() {
this.token = window.localStorage.getItem('token') || null;
this.http = this.http
.configure(x => {
x.withBaseUrl(environment.serverBaseURL);
x.withHeader('Authorization', `Bearer ${this.token}`);
});
}
getPosts() {
this.configureHeaders();
return this.http.get('post')
.then(posts => {
return JSON.parse(posts.response);
});
}
}
As R.Richards commented, Aurelia's HttpClient Interceptor is what you're after.
Here's a class example - as opposed to object with anonymous functions
1.) Declare the interceptor
import {Interceptor, HttpResponseMessage, RequestMessage} from 'aurelia-http-client'
export class CustomInterceptor implements Interceptor {
request(request: RequestMessage): RequestMessage {
//Do request interceptor here
return request;
}
response(response: HttpResponseMessage): HttpResponseMessage{
//Do response interception here
return response;
}
}
2.) Register the interceptor as part of your default http client within your main.js
import {CustomInterceptor} from 'path/to/custom-interceptor'
...
...
http.configure(config => {
//config stuff here
).withInterceptor(new CustomInterceptor())
This should suit your eloquence!
I'm setting up aurelia-auth and configured endpoints for my authorization server and a protected api:
aurelia.use.plugin('aurelia-api', configure => {
configure
.registerEndpoint('auth', 'http://localhost:5000/')
.registerEndpoint('api', 'http://localhost:5006')}
When I want to fetch data I inject the AuthService into my module and then call
this.authService.config.client.client.fetch('StaticData/offices')
but this calls against the auth endpoint not the api one, how do I tell the fetch client to use the non-default endpoint?
I was heading down the wrong path, you use the configuration object off aurelia-api to get an endpoint you can then call:
import { inject } from 'aurelia-framework';
import { Config } from 'aurelia-api'
#inject (Config)
export class Locations {
constructor (private apiEndpointConfig: Config)
{}
dataItems;
hasItems: boolean;
created(){
var api = this.apiEndpointConfig.getEndpoint('api');
api.client.fetch('StaticData/offices')
.then(response=>response.json())
.then(response=>
{
this.dataItems=response;
this.hasItems=true;
});
}
}
I am trying to use the Auth0 for social login but I keep getting an exception of an undefined reference.
This is the authentication service
import { Injectable } from '#angular/core';
import { tokenNotExpired } from 'angular2-jwt';
// Avoid name not found warnings
declare var Auth0Lock: any;
#Injectable()
export class AuthService {
// Configure Auth0
lock = new Auth0Lock('I have set the ID correctly here', 'and the domain as well', {});
constructor() {
// Add callback for lock `authenticated` event
this.lock.on("authenticated", (authResult) => {
localStorage.setItem('id_token', authResult.idToken);
});
}
public login() {
// Call the show method to display the widget.
this.lock.show();
};
public authenticated() {
// Check if there's an unexpired JWT
// This searches for an item in localStorage with key == 'id_token'
return tokenNotExpired();
};
public logout() {
// Remove token from localStorage
localStorage.removeItem('id_token');
};
}
I injected the services and configured providers. Everything is wired correctly, but it just won't find Auth0Lock even though defined.
Each time it reaches lock = new Auth0Lock('ID', 'DOMAIN', {}); it bombs out.
I replaced declare var Auth0Lock: any; with const Auth0Lock = require('auth0-lock').default; and that fixed the problem.
The accepted answer is good. I did get a Cannot find name 'require' error.
Rather than using 'declare const require', I imported like so:
import Auth0Lock from 'auth0-lock';
I needed to add to index.html:
<script src="https://cdn.auth0.com/js/lock/10.8/lock.min.js"></script>
via https://github.com/auth0/lock/issues/588
