Include status code 419? about angular-http-auth HOT 8 OPEN

Hi,
we need to find some better way of handling such custom codes.
I was thinking about something like adding an option like forceAuthModule; it would work contrary to ignoreAuthModule.

Now, with option like this, you could just insert an interceptor:

.config(['$httpProvider', function($httpProvider) {
  $httpProvider.interceptors.push(['$q', function($q) {
    return {
      responseError: function(rejection) {
        rejection.config.forceAuthModule = (rejection.status === 419);
        return $q.reject(rejection);
      }
    };
  }]);
}]);

If such an interceptor would be registered before the one from this module, it should make it work with 419 codes, I guess.

Another solution would be to provide an option to add some kind of extra "rejection resolver" function, so everyone could amend the way this module triggers, but it would require more changes in code than the first option with simple flag.

What do you think?

Hi, I too am using 419 for expired JWT token much in the same way as OP. It could be useful to have configuration for nonstandard codes, but coding that in myself was not too difficult. If anything, supporting JWTs out of the box would be a much better addition.

Continuing on this issue. I am adding yet another code in addition to 419 (I need something to handle accounts that were logged in but are not yet confirmed accounts, which forces the user to enter confirmation code from email). This seems like also a common use-case for deferment and should have it's own set of events. I now feel that adding both of these use-cases to this module would be useful, since i end up adding the necessary code to app.js and my controller instead of http-auth-interceptor.js, and not having all the code that does similar things in one place is a headache and triggers my OCD :)

Ok one more thing that I found useful is using call to authService.loginConfirmed() in the event listener for my custom event auth-confirmConfirmed. But this is not ideal because that call also triggers auth-loginConfirmed event.

Anyway we can split off the part of loginConfirmed that will configure the updater and call httpBuffer.retryAll(updater) from the part that broadcasts the event? That way we can reuse the former without the latter causing possibly unintended behavior. Or maybe we can have the event to be broadcast passed as an optional parameter?

@witoldsz What about config property with HTTP status codes for loginRequired and forbidden (401/403 default configuration)? Call it support non-standard HTTP status codes.

Now module support only standardized 401 and 403 HTTP statuses. But I could imagine some project use non-standard HTTP codes.

Of course it is necessary create some kind of module configuration and so on.

Yes, I like that idea. The only thing to figure out is how exactly the configuration should look like, i.e. what should be hard-coded and what should be open for change.

from angular-http-auth.

Configuration is very powerful tool and it give us space to create new functionalities. But angular-http-auth is simple module, so I think configuration dont have to be complicated.

• non-standard HTTP statuses
• config.loginRequiredHttpCodes type Array|Number default 401
• config.forbiddenHttpCodes type Array|Number default 403
• Event prefix -
  https://github.com/witoldsz/angular-http-auth/blob/master/src/http-auth-interceptor.js#L26
  • config.eventPrefix type String default event:auth- - this is only example not real requirement but I can imagine case with conflict event names :)

loginConfirmed: function(data, configUpdater) {
    var updater = configUpdater || function(config) {return config;};
    $rootScope.$broadcast(config.eventPrefix + 'loginConfirmed', data);
    httpBuffer.retryAll(updater);
},

• Non-retry on login confirmed
  https://github.com/witoldsz/angular-http-auth/blob/master/src/http-auth-interceptor.js#L27
  • config.retryOnLoginConfirmed type Boolean default true - this is only example not real requirement

loginConfirmed: function(data, configUpdater) {
    var updater = configUpdater || function(config) {return config;};
    $rootScope.$broadcast('event:auth-loginConfirmed', data);
    if(config.retryOnLoginConfirmed) {
        httpBuffer.retryAll(updater);
    }
},

IMHO non-standard HTTP codes and event prefix are enough.

What if you want to include additional interceptors on errors such as 500, etc. ?
