We want to have 2 sets of resources for our AngularJS app (public/private) which uses RequireJS for dependency management. Basically everything on the login page would be public and once logged in, another angularjs app would be loaded (new requirejs config) that would load resources that require authentication to access.
Is there a way to configure requirejs to set an authorization header when loading resources?
It depends on what you mean by "resources" and how your server is configured. But in general - yes, since you are using AngularJS you can use the $httpProvider to inject an interceptor service.
For example, in a service:
var dependencies = ['$rootScope', 'userService'];
var service = function ($rootScope, userService) {
return {
request: function(config) {
var currentUser = userService.getCurrentUser();
var access_token = currentUser ? currentUser.access_token : null;
if(access_token) {
config.headers.authorization = access_token;
}
return config;
},
responseError: function (response) {
if(response.status === 401) {
$rootScope.$broadcast('unauthorized');
}
return response;
}
};
};
module.factory(name, dependencies.concat(service));
Then, after you configure your routes, you can use:
$httpProvider.interceptors.push( 'someService');
You can find some more information on interceptors here: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http#interceptors
UPDATE
You might be able to use the text plugin to try and receive it, but I don't see the point in protecting client side code. Plus, if you want to use optimization the resources will just come in one file anyway...
config: {
text: {
onXhr: function (xhr, url) {
xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization','Basic ' + token);
}
}
}
Refer to: custom-xhr-hooks
Another UPDATE
You could also use urlArgs (mainly used for cache invalidation) without using the text plugin:
require.config({
urlArgs: 'token='+token,
...
)}
