Resolving the Http Interceptor Issue on Multi-Item Filtering in Angular

In modern web applications, managing data loading states is crucial for providing users with a seamless experience. Angular offers Http interceptors as a powerful feature to monitor and manage HTTP requests. However, you might encounter specific challenges when working with multi-item filters that can cause loading indicators to get stuck. In this guide, we will dissect a common issue where an Http interceptor fails to stop the loading state during multi-item filtering, and we’ll explore an effective solution.

The Problem

The issue arises when using an Http interceptor that is supposed to display a loading progress bar during API requests. Everything works perfectly for single item filters or page refreshes, but when implementing a modal to filter items based on multiple criteria, the interceptor logs suggest that the loading process starts but never completes. As a result, the progress bar keeps spinning indefinitely until the user navigates away from the page.

Understanding the Cause

Upon investigation, it was discovered that the loadings.size property remains at 1 even after the API call has completed. This indicates that the interceptor does not correctly recognize when to end the loading state. This behavior occurs primarily due to the way URLs with parameters are handled in requests. The Http interceptor tracks loading status by storing URLs, and if the parameterized URL isn’t properly logged, it can lead to confusion about the loading state.

The Solution

The solution to this problem is fairly straightforward. It involves ensuring that the correct URL is passed to the loading handler within the interceptor. Below is a breakdown of the necessary modification:

Step 1: Update the Interceptor Code

The line of code causing the issue is this:

Change it to:

This change is critical because urlWithParams includes all query parameters passed in the HTTP request, allowing the interceptor to manage unique URLs correctly and thus reflect an accurate loading state.

Step 2: Implement the Change

Locate your interceptor implementation in your Angular application and apply the necessary code change as shown. Here’s how the updated interceptor might look:

Step 3: Test the Application

After applying the above change, run your application again and use the multi-item filtering feature. You should now see that the progress bar appropriately indicates loading states, starting when the request is made and stopping once the response is received.

Conclusion

Handling HTTP requests effectively is vital for a smooth user experience in any Angular application. By applying the corrective measures outlined above, you’ll ensure that your Http interceptor accurately tracks loading states even when dealing with complex queries and filters. This not only enhances the user interface but also simplifies debugging and enhances code maintainability.
