I would like to call my rest API in my custom error handler to email myself when the handler is called.
I have tried to use the Injector, but I get this error:
Error: Cannot instantiate cyclic dependency! HttpClient
Here you can see my error handler:
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { ErrorHandler, Injector, Injectable, NgZone } from '@angular/core';
import { ToastrService } from 'ngx-toastr';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
@Injectable()
export class AppErrorHandler extends ErrorHandler {
constructor(private injector: Injector) {
super();
}
private get toastrService(): ToastrService {
return this.injector.get(ToastrService);
}
private get http(): HttpClient {
return this.injector.get(HttpClient);
}
private get router(): Router {
return this.injector.get(Router);
}
private get ngZone(): NgZone {
return this.injector.get(NgZone);
}
public handleError(error: any): void {
if (error.status === 401) {
this.ngZone.run(() => this.router.navigate(['/home']));
this.toastrService.error('Login first', 'Error');
} else if (error.status === 403) {
this.ngZone.run(() => this.router.navigate(['/home']));
this.toastrService.error('unauthorize', 'Error');
} else {
this.http.post<any>('/api/error-mailer', error).subscribe(() => { });
this.toastrService.error('Something went wrong', 'Error', { onActivateTick: true });
}
super.handleError(error);
}
}
I might also have the wrong aproach so if you could help me that be great!
You should handle httpClient errors with a http interceptor. In the interceptor you can inject the services you need. However you should keep an eye on calling a http request from the interceptor, cause it will run through the interceptor, and you can end up having a loop when your error-mailer is down.
