I am facing a simple issue - I want to set up my http calls with an interceptor that will include a token in the headers. The challenge is that the token is received through an http call as well (which should be the initial call), and I'm unsure how to ensure that all subsequent calls wait for this process to complete before making their own requests...
.factory('sessionData', function () {
var currentToken = '[uninitialized-token]';
return {
getToken: function () {
return currentToken;
},
setAuthData: function (token) {
currentToken = token;
}
}
})
.factory('sessionInjector', ['sessionData', function (sessionData) {
var sessionInjector = {
request: function (config) {
console.log("sending with token: " + sessionData.getToken());
config.headers['x-header-sessionID'] = sessionData.getToken();
}
};
return sessionInjector;
}])
.config(['$httpProvider', function ($httpProvider) {
$httpProvider.interceptors.push('sessionInjector');
}])
.run(['$http', 'configs', 'sessionData', function ($http, configs, sessionData) {
$http.get(configs.authApiUrl + 'login').then(function (ret) {
sessionData.setAuthData(ret);
console.log("successfully authenticated with token " + sessionData.getToken());
});
}])
.controller('TestCtrl', function($http){
$scope.p1 = 'Uninitialized';
$http.get('http://localhost/api/getData').then(function(ret){
$scope.p1 = ret;
});
});
The issue here is that the TestCtrl triggers an http request before the completion of the run method, resulting in the header value containing the [uninitialized-token].
How can we make sure that the controllers wait for the asynchronous 'run' methods to finish?
