Angular v17 SSR - InjectionToken for REQUEST/RESPONSE not working?

[Shamshiel]

Either I'm doing something wrong or cookies can't be retrieved from request headers via the SsrCookieService. It seems that SsrCookieService is not able to retrieve the request from the providers.

I have the server.ts and my guard like described below but the bearer token can't be retrieved. I checked the incoming request in the server and the cookie is available in the header. So I assume the request is for some reason not correctly provided to the SsrCookieService.

Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong?

server.ts

server.get('*', (req, res, next) => {
    const { protocol, originalUrl, baseUrl, headers } = req;

    commonEngine
      .render({
        bootstrap,
        documentFilePath: indexHtml,
        url: `${protocol}://${headers.host}${originalUrl}`,
        publicPath: browserDistFolder,
        providers: [
          { provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue: baseUrl },
          { provide: 'REQUEST', useValue: req },
          { provide: 'RESPONSE', useValue: res },
        ],
      })
      .then((html) => res.send(html))
      .catch((err) => next(err));
  });

Guard

export function authenticationGuard(): CanActivateFn {
    return () => {
        const authService: AuthService = inject(AuthService);
        const router: Router = inject(Router);
        const cookieService: SsrCookieService = inject(SsrCookieService);

        return authService.getUser().pipe(
            map((x) => {
                const bearerToken = cookieService.get('access_token');
                console.log('Bearer Token: ' + bearerToken);
                if (x.role !== 'admin') {
                    router.navigate(['/home']);
                    return false;
                }
                return true;
            })
        );
    };
}

I think the issue is that the code uses a non-exported REQUEST InjectionToken, so providing the request under the string token 'REQUEST' won't work to populate it.

Any news in this problem? I can't access my cookies in the SSR of Angular 17.

No. I am able to access them in my code. Can you share an example where you can't access them?

[oriollpz]

When you use a Guard and try to access the cookie when does SSR, it returns null the "req" Injection.

@oriollpz @zozjo Can anyone of you try share a StackBlitz example of tis problem?

[pavankjadda]

@oriollpz @zozjo @Shamshiel @jnizet Can you try version 17.0.1-rc.1and see if it fixes the issue?

[Shamshiel]

I haven't tried your RC but I fixed the issue by just copying your SsrCookieService in my project and exporting the REQUEST like this:

export const REQUEST = new InjectionToken<Request>('REQUEST');

and then importing it in the server.ts like this:

import { REQUEST } from './src/app/services/ssr-cookie.service';

---

So the issue is that in v17.0.0 of this library the InjectionToken is not exported. Just using the token 'REQUEST' does not work. I guess the RC would work if SSR_REQUEST is the actual exported InjectionToken for REQUEST.

Fixed in version 17.0.1

Hi! I am facing the same error.

I am using: "@angular/ssr":"~17.0.0", "ngx-cookie-service-ssr": "^17.0.1"

I did console.log(this.cookieService.get('lang')) and got:

• server side: "undefined"
• client side: "ru"

Can you help me please. I have attached the screenshots.

@xalidevxx See updated docs https://github.com/stevermeister/ngx-cookie-service?tab=readme-ov-file#server-side-rendering. You need to import REQUEST

I added the request as in the documentation. Then I built the project and run the production version locally. I output cookieService.get('lang') in app.component.html.

As a result:

• there is no cookie on the server side
• on the client side there is a cookie.

I expect the server version and browser version to should be the same.

Is this how it should work?
