problem with allowedUrls and AOT

I have a problem with allowedUrls in :

OAuthModule.forRoot({
            resourceServer: {
                allowedUrls: [varFromConf],
                sendAccessToken: true
            }
        })

I want to pass a variable to it because it come from configuration stuff but when it’s compile by AOT my variable is replaced by null and so authorization token is not sent later.

Is there any workaround for this problem ? I dont want to hard code here my allowed urls…

for the moment what I did is to iOAuthModuleConfig from may main app.component and then set resoureServer from there.

constructor(private moduleConfig: OAuthModuleConfig) {
  this.moduleConfig.resourceServer.allowedUrls = [(<any>window).ServerConfig.ApiBaseUrl];
}

But I don’t know if it’s a good thing

I suggest doing this in app.module.ts:

import { OAuthModuleConfig, OAuthModule } from 'angular-oauth2-oidc';
import { authConfigFactory } from './auth-config-factory';

//...
    imports: [
      OAuthModule.forRoot(),
      // ...
    ],
    providers: [
      { provide: OAuthModuleConfig , useFactory: authConfigFactory, deps: [ConfigService] },
      // ...
    ]

// ...

and then this in auth-config-factory.ts:

// imports here

export function authConfigFactory(service: ConfigService): OAuthModuleConfig {
  return {
    resourceServer: {
      allowedUrls: [service.getVarFromConf()],
      sendAccessToken: true,
    }
  };
}

or something similar…

I faced the same problem and found a different solution. The problem with initializing your setting using APP_INITIALIZER is that loading the configuration is mostly async (using a promise) and the factory methods in your module are called before this promise is resolved.

You can however load the settings BEFORE bootstrapping the Module. Inside your App.module/other components you can access your settings without having to fear the settings are not loaded. I have created an example of how to accomplish this: github.com/dtiemstra/AngularConfigDemo
