@xss-shared-library/https

This library provides reusable HTTP services and utilities for Angular applications. It includes features like token-based authentication, URL configuration, and HTTP interceptors to streamline API communication.

Features

• Token-Based Authentication: Includes services for managing authentication tokens and refreshing them.
• HTTP Interceptors: Automatically adds authentication headers and handles errors globally.
• URL Configuration: Dynamically configure API and OData URLs.
• Reusable HTTP Clients: Provides base HTTP clients for common API operations.
• Integration with Other Libraries: Works seamlessly with @xss-shared-library/uicomponent and @xss-shared-library/translations.

Installation

To install the library, run the following command:

npm install @xss-shared-library/https

Usage

Import the Module

Add the XSSHttpServiceModule to your Angular application's module:

import { XSSHttpServiceModule } from '@xss-shared-library/https';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    XSSHttpServiceModule
  ]
})
export class AppModule { }

Configuration: appsettings.json

To use this library, ensure you have an appsettings.json file in the assets folder of your Angular project. This file should include the necessary configuration for API URLs and token validation.

Example appsettings.json:

{
  "App": {
    "Api": "https://api.example.com",
    "EnableTokenValidation": true
  }
}

• Api: The base URL for your API.
• EnableTokenValidation: Set to true to enable token validation using the AuthService.

Example: Using the AuthService

The AuthService provides methods for managing user authentication, such as checking tokens and logging out.

Check Token:

If EnableTokenValidation is set to true in appsettings.json, you can use the AuthService to validate the token. If the token is invalid, the system will automatically redirect to the /login path.

import { AuthService } from '@xss-shared-library/https';

constructor(private authService: AuthService) {
  this.authService.checkToken();
}

Log Out:

this.authService.logout();

Example: Using the BaseHttpClients

The BaseHttpClients class provides reusable methods for making HTTP requests.

Perform a GET Request:

import { BaseHttpClients } from '@xss-shared-library/https';

constructor(private httpClient: BaseHttpClients) {
  this.httpClient.getCheckToken().subscribe(response => {
    console.log('Token is valid:', response);
  });
}

Perform a POST Request:

this.httpClient.postLogOut().subscribe(response => {
  console.log('Logged out successfully:', response);
});
