Hey everyone, I am having problems figuring out handling session and authentication with AngularJS with a Java Spring Backend. I can surely get something up and running but I don't want to do something hacky so here I am in need of your assistance.
First of all, I will tell you guys what I am using for my environment and technology stack. I am using a JHipster generated project ( http://jhipster.github.io/tech_stack.html ). JHipster is a YeoMen project generator stack for AngularJS + Java Spring Backend + PostgreSQL, MySql or some other databases. It did not include Oracle SQL. The reason I say this did not include Oracle SQL is because I had to configure it myself to include Oracle SQL since that is what I need at my work and JHipster does not include Oracle. I also took out Liquidbase because it seem too much of a hassle to get working. A JHipster project includes token based authentication and session set up already. My problem is integrating these systems to my own AngularJS project. I am not using their full client, so it is not merely just changing how the generated views look. Questions: How do I check if the session is valid and allow a user to continue using contained websites? For example, say a user logs in at the root page '/' I want for example the AngularJS app to know that if a user is at '/' and the session is valid (the user is logged in), redirect to '/main' or redirect to a whole new page instead of injecting main into the index.html Here are some attempts at trying to get the session and seeing if its valid: I used a cookie which works.. kind of... however cookies just doesn't seem like the right way of doing things. Everything in the console.log is my attempt at trying to find a value that I can use to see if a user is currently logged in with a valid session. $rootScope.$on( "$routeChangeStart", function(event, next, current) { $rootScope.isAuthenticated = AuthenticationSharedService.isAuthenticated; console.log("in account check"); console.log( AuthenticationSharedService.isAuthenticated); console.log(Session); console.log(JSON.stringify(Session.login)); console.log(!Session.login); console.log(Session.login); console.log( $rootScope.isAuthenticated); //console.log( $cookieStore.get("user")); if ($cookieStore.get("user").login.length > 3) { if ($location.path() === "/") { console.log("Login Detected, go to main"); // logged user, redirect to /main $location.path('/main').replace(); } } }); Thanks, looking forward to solving this so I can move on to the core of the application -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AngularJS" group.
