unable to execute post request with authorization

Question

I have an issue in angular 4 when I post a request API with Authorization header?

addPost(body): Observable<any>{
      const url = 'https://xxxxxx';

     return this.http.post(URL, body, this.options)
     .map((res:Response) => {
     this.data = res.json();
     })
}

token comes from firebase auth

afAuth.auth.currentUser.getIdToken()
    .then(token => {
        this.headers = new Headers({
            'Authorization': 'Bearer '+token
        });
        this.headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json');
        this.options = new RequestOptions({ headers: this.headers });
    });
this.headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json');
this.options = new RequestOptions({ headers: this.headers });

I call post by this

return this.getJob.addPost(body).subscribe((data) => {
    console.log(data);
});

Response 403!!!

Answer 1

Please use the code below.

let headers = new Headers();
headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8');
headers.append('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + 'token');

let order = 'order=foobar';
console.log("data");

 return this.http.post(url, body, { headers: headers })
     .map((res: any) => res.json());

The better way to do this would be to create a interceptor that extends the default http module

Create a interceptor.ts

import {
    Http,
    Request,
    RequestOptionsArgs,
    Response,
    RequestOptions,
    ConnectionBackend,
    Headers
}
    from '@angular/http';

import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';

@Injectable()
export class HttpInterceptor extends Http {

    constructor(private backend: ConnectionBackend, private defaultOptions: RequestOptions, private router: Router) {
        super(backend, defaultOptions);
    }

    request(url: string | Request, options?: RequestOptionsArgs): Observable<Response> {
        return this.intercept(super.request(url, this.getRequestOptionArgs(options)));
    }

    get(url: string, options?: RequestOptionsArgs): Observable<Response> {
        return this.intercept(super.get(url, this.getRequestOptionArgs(options)));
    }

    post(url: string, body: any, options?: RequestOptionsArgs): Observable<Response> {
        return this.intercept(super.post(url, body, this.getRequestOptionArgs(options)));
    }

    put(url: string, body: any, options?: RequestOptionsArgs): Observable<Response> {
        return this.intercept(super.put(url, body, this.getRequestOptionArgs(options)));
    }

    delete(url: string, options?: RequestOptionsArgs): Observable<Response> {
        return this.intercept(super.delete(url, this.getRequestOptionArgs(options)));
    }

    getRequestOptionArgs(options?: RequestOptionsArgs): RequestOptionsArgs {
        if (options === null) {
            options = new RequestOptions();
        }

        if (options === undefined) {
            options = new RequestOptions();
        }

        let headers = new Headers();
        let key = 'auth.jwt.token';
        let item = localStorage.getItem(key) ? localStorage.getItem(key) : null;
        let parsedToken = JSON.parse(item);

        headers.append('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + parsedToken.token);
        if(options.headers) {
          headers.append('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data');
          headers.append('accept', 'application/json');
        } else {
          headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json');
        }
        //Clearing the headers and appending the token + content type every request.
        options.headers = new Headers();

        options.headers = headers;

        return options;
    }

    intercept(observable: Observable<Response>): Observable<Response> {
        return observable.catch((err, source) => {
            if (err.status === 401 && !err.endsWith(err.url, 'api/auth/login')) {
                this.router.navigate(['/login']);
                return Observable.empty();
            } else {
                return Observable.throw(err);
            }
        });

    }
}

Inside your app.module.ts:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { APP_BASE_HREF } from '@angular/common';
import { XHRBackend, RequestOptions, Http, HttpModule } from '@angular/http';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { HttpInterceptor } from 'interceptor.ts';

export function httpInterceptorFactory(xhrBackend: XHRBackend, requestOptions: RequestOptions, router: Router) {
  return new HttpInterceptor(xhrBackend, requestOptions, router);
}
@NgModule({
    imports: [BrowserModule, AppRoutingModule, HttpModule, SharedModule.forRoot()],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    providers: [{
        provide: APP_BASE_HREF,
        useValue: '<%= APP_BASE %>'
    }, SomeService, AnotherService, 
    {
        provide: Http,
        useFactory: httpInterceptorFactory,
        deps: [XHRBackend, RequestOptions, Router]
    }],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Then just call http as per usual, for example this._http.get().map() and the interceptor will append the token for you.

EDIT:

Updated answer to include a basic app.module.ts

Answer 3

I replace header to params

getTokenHeader() {
    return this.afAuth.auth.currentUser.getIdToken()
    .then(token => {
        let params = new URLSearchParams();
        params.set('tsid', `Bearer ${token}`);
        return params;
    });
}

and call getTokenHeader in this function

    addPost(body): Observable<any>{//
        // const url = 'https://us-central1-talentdraw-prod.cloudfunctions.net/api/post';
        let url = this.api.URL['main']+this.api.URL['afterAuth'];

        return new Observable(observer => {
            this.getTokenHeader()
            .then(tokenOptions => {
                // console.log(tokenOptions);

                return this.http.get(url, { 
                    search: tokenOptions
                    })
                    .map((res:Response) => {
                        // this.data = res.json().data;
                        observer.next(res);
                        observer.complete();
                    })
                    .subscribe((data) => {
                        observer.complete();
                    })
                })
                .catch(( error: any ) => {
                    observer.error(error);
                    observer.complete();
                });
        })
    }
