In my Angular app, I am logging in to the app's backend through an REST API call using $http.
When I log in to the app, the backend returns a Cookie that preserves the logged in status of the user. I want to store this cookie info somewhere so I can check via the Angular app, if the user is logged in (it could affect what page he's directed to etc).
For illustration, here's my login service code:
loginRsrc.factory('loginSrvc', ['$http',
'URLs', //defined in 'Constants'
function($http, URLs){
var signInURL = URLs.HOST + "/api/signIn";
return function(userEmail, userPassword){
console.log("Logging In...");
return {
execute: function(){
return $http({
method: 'POST',
url: signInURL,
data: $.param({email: userEmail, password: userPassword}),
headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}
});
}
};
}
}]);
How can access the Cookie and "intercept" it on receipt so I could store its status in a variable to be checked and/or updated later (i.e. at logout)?
