🚀 Tackling HttpClient Configuration in Angular: A Quick Tip!

Hey everyone! 👋

I recently faced an interesting issue while working on my Angular application. Despite successfully receiving a JWT token from the backend after authentication, I found that the token was always returned as "undefined" in my application. 🤔

After some debugging, I discovered that the root of the problem was in the default configuration generated by open-api and ng-openapi-gen. The HttpClient was set up to handle responses as BLOB instead of JSON, leading to improper parsing of the token.

Here’s a snippet of the original function:

export function confirm(http: HttpClient, rootUrl: string, params: Confirm$Params,      context?: HttpContext): Observable<StrictHttpResponse<void>> {
 ...
  return http.request(
       rb.build({ responseType: 'blob', accept: '*/*', context })
  ).pipe(
...        

Solution: By simply updating the responseType to 'json' and ensuring the accept header matched, the issue was resolved:

//....
rb.build({ responseType: 'json', accept: 'application/json', context })
//...        

Final Thoughts:

🛠️ When using auto-generated configurations, always review them carefully to ensure they align with your expected response types. This small adjustment can save you a lot of debugging time and keep your application running smoothly!

Happy coding! 💻✨
