Logout when closing window in Angular 4
I found how to do it. So, I would prefer avoid jQuery with Angular but like Sriram Jayaraman I didn't find anything else to fix my problem. But the functions @HostListener('window:beforeunload')
and @HostListener('window:onunload')
are not working.
So, in the ngOnInit of my app.component.ts, I added an event listener for beforeunload
to the window and if the user is connected I call a function which make an ajax call.
This is my code :
ngOnInit() {
let context = this;
window.addEventListener("beforeunload", function (e) {
let currentUser : User = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('currentUser'));
if(currentUser){
context.logoutOnClose();
}
});
}
logoutOnClose(){
let currentUser: User = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('currentUser'));
$.ajax({ url: 'myURL',
beforeSend: function(request) {
request.setRequestHeader("Authorization", 'Basic ' + btoa(currentUser.login + ":" + currentUser.password));
request.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
request.setRequestHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
request.setRequestHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'access-control-allow-headers, access-control-allow-origin, content-type, authorization');
},
type: 'GET',
success: function (result) {
localStorage.removeItem('currentUser');
},
async: false });
}
You can store your user and credentials in sessionStorage
rather than localStorage
. sessionStorage
is removed whenever you close tab/browser, localStorage
don't !
