I'm trying to use Django REST Framework's token-based authentication scheme with an AngularJS client. I'm able to successfully retrieve and store a token from the server, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to attach the token to subsequent responses. Here's the service that manages logging in and saving a token:
angular.module('mymodule')
.factory('loginService', function ($http, $window) {
var api_base = "link to my api";
return {
async: function() {
return $http.get(api_base + "authentication/login/").then(function (response) {
return response.data;
}, function errorCallback(response) {
console.log("Testuser API Error: " + response);
return null;
});
},
loginUser: function(email, password) {
self.saveToken = function(auth_token) {
$window.localStorage['jwtToken'] = auth_token;
};
self.getToken = function() {
return $window.localStorage['jwtToken'];
};
console.log("...to listing " + email);
return $http.post("link to my api/authentication/login/", {
email: email,
password: password
}).then(function(response) {
if(response.config.url.indexOf("link to my api") === 0 && response.data.auth_token) {
self.saveToken(response.data.auth_token);
}
return response;
});
}
};
});
Here's the controller associated with the above service to handle logging in:
angular.module('mymodule').controller("LoginController", function(loginService, $scope) {
$scope.loginusers = [];
$scope.refresh = function() {
loginService.async().then(function(data) {
if (data == null)
return;
console.log(data[0]["email"]);
$scope.loginusers = [];
for (var loginuser in data)
$scope.loginusers.push(loginuser);
});
};
$scope.refresh();
// Test //
$scope.loginTestUser = function() {
console.log("something...");
loginService.loginUser(
$scope.email,
$scope.password
)
};
//////
});
And here's the service that I'd like to use for displaying a user's profile after the token is sent back to the server.
angular.module('mymodule').factory("profileService", function($http, loginService, $httpProvider) {
var api_base = "link to my api";
$httpProvider.interceptors.push(function($q, $window) {
return {
'request': function(config) {
config.headers['Token'] = $window.localStorage['jwtToken'];
return config;
}
};
});
return {
async: function() {
return $http.get(api_base + "authentication/me/").then(function (response) {
return response.data[0];
}, function errorCallback(response) {
console.log("Profile API Error: " + response);
return null;
});
}
};
});
How should I be approaching this?
