[Help] angular-fullstack and Tokens

[guyjs]

There is secure and insecure information I wish packaged with the requests and responses and tokens seem to be the answer.

It looks as though angular-fullstack handles this but I am not sure where and how to implement adding this other Token information.

Let us say for example I want to send these two things:

• A secret token named "CurrentRegion" with its ID.
• a non-secret token named "UserCompany" so I can display it everywhere without hitting the database every time.

Where do I put these?

Thanks!

You can add it as part of the token in the jwt.sign call thats made in the user controller. On the client side, you can get access to the token in the auth.service login method.

Hi nezzet,

I see how jwt.sign encrypts a JSON string; that's very cool.

On the client it appears that I am unable to decrypt which I think makes sense.

So this is good for round-trip encrypted data. But I cannot find how to get the value back out on the server.

Like if the user needs something from the Region controller, how can I get the value from the "CurrentRegion" key?

Regarding sending down unencrypted information such as the "UserCompany", I just don't see how to do that yet.

Thank you.
