How to set default header values in Angular Resource? - angularjs

Question

The following approach does not work:
angular.module('myApp.myModule').factory('MyResource', function($resource, $cookies) {
var token = $cookies.get('token');
var user = $cookies.get('username');
console.log ("Token: "+token+" User: "+user);
return $resource(
'http://my-rest-api/whatever/:id',
{
headers: {
'token': token,
'user': user
}
}
)});
Console shows the correct data, but they were not sent..
That's the part somewhere in the related Controller (excerpt):
var getEntryOne = MyResource.get({ id: 1 }, function() {
console.log("Result: "+getEntryOne);
});
I get the "Message: Token invalid", I see the request-http-headers in firebug, they were not setted.

Answer 1

You are setting headers for get request then it should be there in get option of $resource
$resource('http://my-rest-api/whatever/:id',{},{
get:{
method:"GET",
headers:{
'token': token,
'user': user
}
},
});
If you wanted to add this header information to each request, then you could have http inteceptor which will be add header information on each request.
app.service('MyResourceInterceptor', ['$cookies', function($cookies) {
var token = $cookies.get('token'),
user = $cookies.get('username'),
service = this;
service.request = function(config) {
config.headers['token'] = token;
config.headers['user'] = user;
return config;
};
}]);
app.config([ '$httpProvider', function($httpProvider) {
$httpProvider.interceptors.push('MyResourceInterceptor');
}]);
