I created an angular interceptor to check my auth tokens' validity. somehow, the do
method is not recognized by angular. subscribe
works, but I dont want that solution as it doubles my requests being sent to the server.
TypeError: next.handle(...).do is not a function

here's my interceptor's code:
import { Injectable, NgModule} from '@angular/core';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import { HttpEvent, HttpInterceptor, HttpHandler, HttpRequest} from
'@angular/common/http';
import { SessionService } from 'app/commons/services/auth/session.service';
import { HttpErrorResponse } from "@angular/common/http";
import { StateService } from '@uirouter/angular';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/do';
import * as _ from "lodash";
@Injectable()
export class AuthTokenService implements HttpInterceptor {
constructor(
private sessionService: SessionService,
private stateService: StateService
) {}
intercept(req: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> {
const currUser = this.sessionService.getCurrentUser();
const authToken = _.get(currUser, ['auth_token'], null);
let dupReq = req.clone({ headers: req.headers.set('Authorization', '') });
if (!_.isNil(authToken)) {
dupReq = req.clone({ headers: req.headers.set('Authorization', `Token ${authToken}`) });
}
return next.handle(dupReq)
.do(ev => {
console.log(event);
})
}
};
I don't think i missed anything, but for some reason, it won't have the do
side-effect mentioned in the guide
Found out my mistake here. In angular 5, operators are changed to lettable operators
. I don't quite get what they do yet, as I'm new to using this tech. But after a few hours of utter frustration looking at Angular 4 docs and answers about how interceptors work, I finally came across this article: Angular 5: Upgrading & Summary of New Features
My updated code:
import { map, filter, tap } from 'rxjs/operators';
@Injectable()
export class AuthTokenService implements HttpInterceptor {
intercept(req: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> {
const started = Date.now();
return next.handle(dupReq).pipe(
tap(event => {
if (event instanceof HttpResponse) {
const elapsed = Date.now() - started;
console.log(`Request for ${req.urlWithParams} took ${elapsed} ms.`);
}
}, error => {
console.error('NICE ERROR', error)
})
)
}
}
catches errors from my http requests like a charm.
