How to Add Http Header to Angular HttpClient

In the previous post, we already discussed how to make APIs call in Angular.

Today's post was inspired by one of my co-workers when he approached and ask about how to add headers to a POST request in Angular. Thus, I think this is a good opportunity for me to document this down.

Adding or Change Http Headers in Angular

We could leverage HttpHeaders in Angular to do this.

In the below example,

1. We are creating a new HttpHeaders with Authorization key.
2. Then, we are assigning the created httpHeaders into the headers key of the 3rd parameter of post function.

// Step 1 const httpHeaders: HttpHeaders = new HttpHeaders({ Authorization: 'Bearer JWT-token', }); // Step 2 this.http.post(url, body, { headers: httpHeaders });

Thanks
