[SOLVED] How to send JWT token as authorization header in angular 6

How to send JWT token as authorization header in angular 6

Currently I used this static code in component .ts file but this one is not work. It returns unauthorized(401). But when I pass token as query string it works fine. Please give a working example for component .ts file.

    import { HttpClient, HttpResponse ,HttpHeaders} from '@angular/common/http';


    var t=`eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJodHRwOlwvXC9sb2NhbGhvc3Q6ODAwMFwvYXBpXC9sb2dpbiIsImlhdCI6MTUzNzcxNTMyNSwiZXhwIjoxNTM3NzE4OTI1LCJuYmYiOjE1Mzc3MTUzMjUsImp0aSI6IlBKWVhnSkVyblQ0WjdLTDAiLCJzdWIiOjYsInBydiI6Ijg3ZTBhZjFlZjlmZDE1ODEyZmRlYzk3MTUzYTE0ZTBiMDQ3NTQ2YWEifQ.1vz5lwPlg6orzkBJijsbBNZrnFnUedsGJUs7BUs0tmM`;

    var headers_object = new HttpHeaders();
        headers_object.append('Content-Type', 'application/json');
        headers_object.append("Authorization", "Bearer " + t);

        const httpOptions = {
          headers: headers_object
        };


   this.http.post(
                  'http://localhost:8000/api/role/Post', {limit:10}, httpOptions
                 ).subscribe(resp => {
                  this.roles = console.log(resp)
                  }
                );

Solution

The problem with your code is that the HttpHeaders class is immutable, so when you call append it actually returns a new instance with the specified value, but does not modify the original object.

Try this

var headers_object = new HttpHeaders().set("Authorization", "Bearer " + t);

Content-Type is set to json by default by HttpClient

If you need to do send a the Authorization token in all your API calls, then it's better to use an interceptor as suggested by Martin
