Question about Angular Typescript API with Swagger Codegen

Hello!

In our app, we use Swagger Codegen to generate Typescript Angular API, and we use it the same way as described in this article: https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/generate-angulartypescript-api-client-with-swagger-codegen by Naveen.

I have a question regarding setting header.

This is how we're doing it:

this.fooService.defaultHeaders = new HttpHeaders({
HeaderName: this.headerValue
});

this.fooService.getBar(...[values]).subscribe(...)

My question is whether there is a way to set headers different, where the first part doesn't have to be repeated everytime we call the service.

Our hope was there maybe there exists a way to say:

this.fooService.getBar(...[values], ...[Options]).subscribe(...)

The issue is that out backend specifically requests that the value needed comes as a headers.

Thank you for your help!

I would recommend you to use the interceptor and your problem will be solved. With Interceptor you will be able to play with the request easily and able to set the headers as well. I would suggest you to go through the following article
