withCredentials oboe request - angularjs

Question

I am currently working with a Neo4j graph database that offers REST url's for free. And I am trying to hook it up to a angular module that provides Oboe client side streaming: https://github.com/RonB/angular-oboe
I am trying to better understand how to add username:password credentials in my request header in an effort to transcribe this curl command
> curl --user username:password http://localhost:7474/auth/list
https://github.com/neo4j-contrib/authentication-extension
In the Usage section of the angular-oboe README, it outlines parameters for the request
$scope.myData = Oboe({
url: '/api/myData',
pattern: '{index}',
pagesize: 100
});
I have a hunch to add a line for withCredentials as listed on the Oboe repo
https://github.com/jimhigson/oboe.js-website/blob/master/content/api.md
oboe({
url: String,
method: String, // optional
headers: Object, // optional
body: String|Object, // optional
cached: Boolean, // optional
withCredentials: Boolean // optional, browser only
})
But I'm not sure where to put the username:password pair.
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated in collaboration.

Answer 1

The angular-oboe service passes all parameters to the Oboe function so you can specify a headers parameter. To make sure authentication is allowed on the request specify withCredentials: true.
Basic authentication can be achieved by:
.controller('StreamingCtrl', function($scope, Oboe) {
$scope.contacts = [];
// the contacts streamed
$scope.contacts = Oboe({
url: 'http://some.restfull.srv/contacts',
pattern: '{contactid}',
pagesize: 100,
withCredentials: true,
headers: {
// Base 64 encoded Basis authentication
Authorization: 'Basic ' + btoa('username:password')
}
});
})
The btoa function will Base 64 encode the username and password.
Edit:
The angular-oboe factory has been altered since the first answer and is returning a promise instead of the array of json objects.
This is how to use the latest version:
angular.module('MyApp')
.controller(['$scope', 'Oboe', function($scope, Oboe) {
$scope.myData = [];
Oboe({
url: '/api/myData',
pattern: '{index}',
withCredentials: true,
headers: {
Authentication: 'Basic ' + btoa('yourusername:yourpassword')
}
}).then(function() {
// finished loading
}, function(error) {
// handle errors
}, function(node) {
// node received
$scope.myData.push(node);
});
}]);
