How to work with the user in Angular?

Question

Angular

Now created a user based on $resource. But working with it is not very convenient, creating an instance in each controller. Is there a way to avoid having to .get() through the server in all controllers when there is only one user on the page who is already logged in?

Answer 1

I prefer server auth. The action plan is as follows:
- the backend checks if the user is authorized
- if not = we throw it on the authorization page
- if yes = we start the SPA
In the SPA itself, we render the user data with the backend before the scripts:

<script>
    window.$$userData = <?= json_encode($_SESSION['user']); ?>;
</script>
<script src="/path/to/angular.js"></script>
<script src="/path/to/app.js"></script>

We create a service, which can then be injected anywhere.
(do not forget that .constant is .value, which is available at the configuration stage and cannot be changed via $decorator - accordingly, you can safely change object fields and they will be updated everywhere)

app.config(['$provide', function($provide) {
  $provide.constant('userData', angular.copy(window.$$userData));
}]);
