I have an existing angularjs code which makes a HTTP GET. Extracted below is some relevant code inside the controller.
.controller('imptViewCtrl', ['$scope', '$http',
function ($scope, $http, ) {
var url = $configuration.webroot + '/impt/list?list=testlist';
$http.get(url).then(function (response) {
tableData = response.data;
});
}]);
I would like to add HTTP basic authentication to the HTTP GET. The username is foo
and the password is bar
. How can this be done?
Because in basic authentication, the username and password are decode by base64. You need to find a library to do this work for comfortable first.
https://github.com/ninjatronic/angular-base64
After that, load base64
into your app and config headers.
angular
.module('myApp', ['base64'])
.config(function($httpProvider, $base64) {
var auth = $base64.encode("foo:bar");
$httpProvider.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = 'Basic ' + auth;
})
You can also provide the authentication header to get
function seprately if you like.
var auth = $base64.encode("foo:bar"),
headers = {"Authorization": "Basic " + auth};
$http.get(url, {headers: headers}).then(function (response) {
