I am currently working with Angular 1.6.4, Express 4.15.2, and express-session. My goal is to identify whether a user is unauthorized to access a specific route by checking for the existence of the req.session.user parameter. If the user is not authorized, I want to send a 401 response status and update the state in Angular.
The issue I'm facing is that I am unable to retrieve the response object to verify the status. I have attempted various methods, including using an interceptor, logging the error.response.body, and thoroughly examining everything to pinpoint where I might be losing the response object.
Below is some code - any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Express:
app.get('/update', sessionCheck, function(req, res) {
res.send('session');
});
function sessionCheck(req, res, next){
if(req.session.user) {
next();
} else {
console.log('before');
return res.status(401).send('Unauthorized');
console.log('after');
}
}
Angular:
.state('update', {
url: '/update',
views: {
"": {
templateUrl: 'templates/update.html',
controller: function($http) {
return $http.get('/update').then(function(response) {
console.log('Ok response' + response);
}, function(error) {
console.log('Error response' + error.response.body);
});
},
},
"carousel": {
templateUrl: "templates/carousel.html"
},
"footer": {
templateUrl: "templates/footer.html"
}
}
})
