first of all to note that I am a very new on AngularJS and I try to create my first app by using the reed.co.uk API, for this reason, please don't shut me .. !! :)
The current state of my application is very basic and consists of the following:
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" ng-app="reed" class="no-js">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

<script src="viewHome/home.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
app.js
'use strict';
// Declare app level module which depends on views, and components
angular.module('reed', ['ngRoute', 'reed.home', 'reedService'])
.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider){
$routeProvider.otherwise(
{
redirectTo : '/'
}
);
}]);
home.js
'use strict';
angular.module('reed.home', ['ngRoute', 'reedService'])
.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider){
$routeProvider.when(
'/', {templateUrl : 'viewHome/home.html', controller : 'HomeCtrl'}
);
}])
.controller('HomeCtrl',['$scope', 'Jobs', function($scope, jobs){
$scope.performSearch = function()
{
console.log(
jobs.query(
{
keywords : $scope.jobTitle
},
{
method : 'GET',
headers : {
username : '9f0ebf61-8795-49d7-a1d7-123456789123'
}
}
)
);
};}
]);
home.html
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12">

<div class="form-group">

<input ng-model="jobTitle" id="job-title" placeholder="Please enter your desired job title" class="form-control" type="text" />
</div>
<div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default" ng-click="performSearch()">Submit</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
services.js
'use strict';
var jobsServices = angular.module('reedService', ['ngResource']);
jobsServices.factory('Jobs', ['$resource', '$http', function($resource, $http){
return $resource(
'http://www.reed.co.uk/api/1.0/search',
{},
{
query : {
method : 'GET',
headers : {
username : '9f0ebf61-8795-49d7-a1d7-123456789123'
}
}
}
)
}]);
The Reed.co.uk API documentation says the following:
Important:
You will need to include your api key for all requests in a basic authentication http header as the username, leaving the password empty.
Based on the above message I try to set my API key as username on my request headers. When I try the above approach with API Request plugins on my Chrome, the request is ok. I get normally whatever I requesting with no issue.
In my AngularJS app, the problem is that while I send a GET request, the AngularJS changing my request method to OPTIONS when I set my headers.
If I remove the headers, then the request performed with GET, but ofcourse I get Unothorized request error from the server.
Can somebody help me please ?
