Set Cookie in Request Headers Angular2

Question

I am new to angular2. My server(spring) responds authentication with a set-cookie value in its response headers.

How to set that cookie to the request headers for the next API calls?

I searched a lot, but I cannot find a suitable solution.

Answer 1

As part of the http.get() or http.post() methods you can specify the RequestOptionsArgs

Use the Headers in the RequestOptionsArgs to specify the auth header you need.

As a rough example, see below:

class PeopleComponent {
  constructor(http: Http) {  
    let customHeaders: Headers = new Headers();
    customHeaders.append('myHeaderName', 'myHeaderValue');
    
    http.get('http://my.web/service', { headers: customHeaders })	
      .map(res => res.json())
      .subscribe(people => this.people = people);
  }
}
