How to add Authorization Header to Angular http request?

Regarding the best way of handling Authentication headers in Angular > 4 it’s best to use
Http Interceptors for adding them to each request, and afterwards using
Guards for protecting your routes.

Here’s a full example of an AuthInterceptor that I’m using in my app:

auth.interceptor.ts

import { HttpEvent, HttpHandler, HttpInterceptor, HttpRequest } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';

import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';

import { AuthService } from './auth.service';

@Injectable()
export class AuthInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor {
  intercept(req: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> {
    req = req.clone({
      setHeaders: {
        'Content-Type' : 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
        'Accept'       : 'application/json',
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${AuthService.getToken()}`,
      },
    });

    return next.handle(req);
  }
}

You’ll need to register your interceptor in the app.module as a provider:

app.module.ts

import { HTTP_INTERCEPTORS, HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';
import { AuthInterceptor } from '../auth/auth.interceptor';

...

imports: [
    HttpClientModule,
    ...
],
providers: [
    {
      provide : HTTP_INTERCEPTORS,
      useClass: AuthInterceptor,
      multi   : true,
    },
    ...
],

...

You can read about this method further in this post.


Regarding the Go‘s side of things, this is most likely a case of mismatch between
Request Headers you’re sending and the headers CORS allow.
First thing you should try is allowing all of them:

headersOk := handlers.AllowedHeaders([]string{"*"})
originsOk := handlers.AllowedOrigins([]string{"*"})
methodsOk := handlers.AllowedMethods([]string{"GET", "HEAD", "POST", "PUT", "OPTIONS"})

And if the problem goes away try carefully structuring your CORS one by one to what your client is sending.
