How can I inject a custom HTTP Header into every request that SuperAgent makes?

Question

Clearly SuperAgent supports custom HTTP headers:

request
   .post(\'/api/pet\')
   .send({ name: \'Manny\', species: \'cat\' })
   .set(\'X-API-Key\', \'foobar\'         


        

Answer 1

This could be the late answer but I have used superagent-use plugin to inject a custom HTTP header in all the requests. First of all, you need to install superagent-use

npm install superagent-use --save

then require like this

// using plugin to intercept calls
var request = require('superagent-use')(require('superagent'));

then add the function as middlerware/interceptor

// interceptor used by superagent to add custom header for each request
request.use((req) => {
    req.header.custom_header = any_value;
    return req;
});

and finally

request
    .get(url)
    .query({ view: 'jsonView' }) // query string
