Missing Authorization header in Angular 7 HTTP response
Accessing an API back-end from Angular client may result in missing response headers. A common scenario is a missing Authorization header, containing the JSON Web Token (JWT) which is returned from the back-end service when the user logs in successfully. The solution to the problem is to expose the desired header in the back-end code (notice that the Authorization header is not exposed by default). In the case of a Spring Boot back-end, we need to add the following line of code:
response.addHeader("Access-Control-Expose-Headers", "Authorization");
The same rule applies to all custom headers that need to be exposed in the response to the client. Each of them needs to be explicitly exposed in the back-end code.
The full back-end code for the successful authentication method is available below:
@Override
protected void successfulAuthentication(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response,
FilterChain chain, Authentication authResult) throws IOException, ServletException {
String token = JWT.create()
.withSubject(((User) authResult.getPrincipal()).getUsername())
.withExpiresAt(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + EXPIRATION_TIME))
.sign(HMAC512(SECRET.getBytes()));
response.addHeader("Access-Control-Expose-Headers", "Authorization");
response.addHeader(HEADER_STRING, TOKEN_PREFIX + token);
}

Dependency Injection
Each Object-oriented application consists of many classes that work together in order to solve a problem. However, when writing a complex application, application classes should be as independent as possible.
ViewModel
ViewModel – it is a model of the view. The purpose of the ViewModel is to apply any business logic to the Model before exposing it to the View for consumption. This way the View is free of business logic.
MVVM and its implementation in Android
Writing application code before thinking about an architecture is a really bad idea. Android programming does not make a difference. Everybody who starts creating Android apps begins doing so without following a specific architecture.
