How, I want to handle http errors (specially status 401) globally. I know I can do something like that
getCompanies() {
return this.http.get('https://angular2.apispark.net/v1/companies/')
.map(res => res.json())
.catch(res => {
return Observable.throw(res.json());
});
How can I get this error on another component?
Just to explain I want to implement that all 401 erros redirect the user to login page
An approach could be to extend the HTTP object to intercept errors:
@Injectable()
export class CustomHttp extends Http {
constructor(backend: ConnectionBackend, defaultOptions: RequestOptions) {
super(backend, defaultOptions);
}
request(url: string | Request, options?: RequestOptionsArgs): Observable<Response> {
console.log('request...');
return super.request(url, options).catch(res => {
// do something
});
}
get(url: string, options?: RequestOptionsArgs): Observable<Response> {
console.log('get...');
return super.get(url, options).catch(res => {
// do something
});
}
}
and register it as described below:
bootstrap(AppComponent, [HTTP_PROVIDERS,
new Provider(Http, {
useFactory: (backend: XHRBackend, defaultOptions: RequestOptions) => new CustomHttp(backend, defaultOptions),
deps: [XHRBackend, RequestOptions]
})
]);
If 401 errors occur as this level, you could redirect the user to login page based on the current router you injected on this CustomHttp class.
