Angular 2 - http get withCredentials

Question

I found something regarding this, but most examples and explanations are deprecated and it\'s not applicable to RC1.

import {Injectable} from \"@angular/core\";         


        

Answer 1

With RC1 you need to extend the BrowserXhr class:

@Injectable()
export class CustomBrowserXhr extends BrowserXhr {
  constructor() {}
  build(): any {
    let xhr = super.build();
    xhr.withCredentials = true;
    return <any>(xhr);
  }
}

and override the BrowserXhr provider with the extended:

bootstrap(AppComponent, [
  HTTP_PROVIDERS,
  provide(BrowserXhr, { useClass: CustomBrowserXhr })
]);

With the upcoming RC2, you'll be able to use a withCredentials attribute in request options.
