I'm coming form NG1 environment and currently I'm creating NG2 app with all available features. Before asking I was exploring google and stackoverflow questions but with no luck since angular 2 moved so fast with api architecture and most answers are out of date.
My case: I have Auth provider (service) with property user, I would like to observe user and react in multiple components (navbar, sidebar etc.)
What I tried:
@Injectable();
export class Auth {
private user;
authorized: EventEmitter<boolean>;
constructor(public router:Router){
this.authorized = new EventEmitter<boolean>();
}
login(user, token):void{
localStorage.setItem('jwt', token);
this.user = _.assign(user);
this.authorized.emit(<boolean>true);
this.router.parent.navigateByUrl('/');
}
}
/***************/
@Component({...})
export class NavComponent {
public isAuthroized: boolean = false;
constructor(Auth:Auth){
Auth.authorized
.subscribe((data) => this.onUserChanged(data));
}
onUserChanged(user){
alert('USER:' + user.email);
this.isAuthroized = true;
}
}
/****************/
bootstrap(AppComponent, [
ROUTER_PROVIDERS,
ELEMENT_PROBE_PROVIDERS,
HTTP_PROVIDERS,
MapLoader,
Auth
])
But with no luck. Should I use Observable EventEmitter or maybe there is other correct approach to handle this case? In NG1 it would be as simple as set $watch on service's property. Thanks!
EDIT: I added new method to Auth service:
...
userUpdated: EventEmitter<boolean>;
constructor(public router:Router){
this.userUpdated = new EventEmitter<any>();
}
...
logout(returnUrl?: string): void{
delete this.user;
localStorage.removeItem('jwt');
this.userUpdated.emit(undefined);
if(!_.isEmpty(returnUrl)){
this.router.parent.navigateByUrl(returnUrl);
}
}
And now event is called, why is this working for logout and not for login?
EDIT 2:
export class LoginPageComponent {
error: string;
constructor(public http: Http, public router: Router, public Auth:Auth){
}
login(event, email, password){
...
this.http.post('/api/login', loginModel, {headers: headers})
.map((res) => res.json())
.subscribe((res: any) => {
this.Auth.login(res.user, res.ADM_TOKEN);
}, (error) => this.error = error._body);
}
}
RESOLVED
Silly mistake.. i left in NavComponent in providers array [Auth].. so it was different object than global Auth.. sorry guys! Hope this issue will help somebody new in Angular2. Thanks for your effort.
