How to redirect to logout when token expired in angular 4

Question

I have a angular 4 application. There i use JWT token for authentication purposes. Everything works fine. but the token expiration time i have given to the JWT token is 1 hour.

Answer 1

you can check if the token is expired or not and as a response, you can redirect to login page store token in local storage for example

 yourmthod(parametr) {
        this.token = localStorage.getItem("token");
        this.headers = new Headers();
        this.headers.delete(this.token);
        this.headers.append("Authorization", this.token);
        return this._http.post(Constants.SERVER_URL + 'your method', {headers: this.headers});
    }

so it will response 401 error and you can handle this by redirecting to your login page

if any query you can ask a question in comments so I can help you

and you can also use if-else in your method

and you can write code in app.component.ts in onIt() method

ngOnInit(): void {
        let token = localStorage.getItem("token");
        if (token) {
            this.isTokenAvaialable = true;
            this.http.get(Constants.SERVER_URL + 'your mthod to validate token' + token).subscribe(data => {
                if (data == true) {
                    if (window.location.pathname == "") {
                        this.router.navigate(['/home', {outlets: {'r2': ['dashboard']}}]);
                    }
                } else if (data == false) {

                    this.logout('Server restarted.Please login again!!');
                } else {

                    this.logout('Session expired.Please login again.!!');
                }

            }, (err: HttpErrorResponse) => {
                this.toastr.warning('Server restarted.Please login again!!', 'Alert');
                localStorage.removeItem("token");
                this.isTokenAvaialable = false;
                this.logout('Server restarted.Please login again!!');
            });
        } else {
            this.isTokenAvaialable = false;
            this.router.navigate(['']);
            localStorage.removeItem("token");
            this.isTokenAvaialable = false;
        }
    }
