I have an injectable service, HttpRequestService, which I would like replace with a MockHttpRequestService when there is no server because I'm running in development mode (npm start). This MockHttpRequestService will send back very simple responses.
I thought I'd found a way to dynamically replace my HttpRequestService, but unfortunately I see that HttpRequestService is still being used. Here's what I tried:
main.ts
import {bootstrap} from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import {provide} from '@angular/core';
import {ROUTER_PROVIDERS, Router} from '@angular/router-deprecated';
import {HashLocationStrategy, LocationStrategy} from '@angular/common'
import {Http, HTTP_PROVIDERS} from '@angular/http';
import {CORE_DIRECTIVES} from '@angular/common';
import {HttpRequestService} from './app/services/HttpRequestService';
import {MockHttpRequestService} from './app/services/MockHttpRequestService'
import {MyConfigInjectable} from './app/MyConfigInjectable';
import {SomeService} from './app/services/SomeService';
export function main(initialState?: any): Promise<any> {
let providers = [
...HTTP_PROVIDERS,
...CORE_DIRECTIVES,
...ROUTER_PROVIDERS,
provide(LocationStrategy, { useClass: HashLocationStrategy })
];
if(process.env.ENV === 'development'){
console.log('Is it set to development?'); //Yes. Yes it is.
providers.push(MyConfigInjectable);
providers.push(SomeService);
providers.push(provide(HttpRequestService, {
deps: [MyConfigInjectable, Http, SomeService, Router],
useClass: MockHttpRequestService
}));
}
return bootstrap(App, providers).catch(err => console.error(err));
}
MockHttpRequestService.ts
import {Injectable} from '@angular/core';
import {Http} from '@angular/http';
import {Router} from '@angular/router-deprecated';
import {SomeService} from './SomeService';
import {MyConfigInjectable} from '../MyconfigInjectable';
@Injectable()
export class MockHttpRequestService extends HttpRequestService {
constructor(protected config: MyConfigInjectable,
protected http: Http,
protected someService: SomeService,
protected router: Router) {
super(config, http, someService, router);
}
post(url: string, body: string) {
console.log('Are we getting here?'); //No. No we're not.
//...
}
}
