Bind Authorization Header With a Specific Endpoint on Every Request

[zicodeng]

Hi, I have two endpoints, but only one of them requires Authorization header on every request. How can I achieve this?

For example:

const restLink = new RestLink({
  endpoints: {
    v1: '...',
    v2: '...',
  },
  uri: '...',
  headers: {
    Authorization: '...'
  }
})

The above code will add Authorization on both v1 and v2 endpoints, but I only want v1 to have Authorization header.

Thanks!

You might be able to build a context-link that reads the @rest(…) data to figure out what headers to patch.

Alternatively, you can provide a customFetch implementation (wrap fetch & delete that header if hitting v2) -- I'm sure this would work today!

@fbartho Thanks for your help. Tried both approaches and worked!

Link Context requires to check query name whereas customFetch gives me request URL and I can apply different headers based on that.

Which way do you guys recommend?

Sounds like customFetch is easiest for you, I recommend that 😉.

If you think we need per-endpoints headers or other tooling, that could be a useful enhancement.
