I’m developing a payment gateway where the backend automatically redirects users to the appropriate merchant page after a payment is processed, whether it succeeds or fails. However, my Angular 7 application struggles to intercept and manage these 302 redirects properly. Could someone please provide guidance or suggest potential strategies for handling such responses in Angular? Any insights or examples would be greatly appreciated.
The difficulty in managing 302 redirects often arises because browsers automatically follow these redirects before Angular has a chance to intercept them. In my experience, a more effective strategy is to modify the backend so that it returns a standard response with a status code indicating the result rather than redirecting directly. This allows Angular to process the outcome, manage state updates smoothly, and then perform client-side navigation if necessary. This approach leads to better control over redirection logic and more robust error handling in your payment gateway application.
hey, try using an http interceptor to catch these responses before they’re processed. also, if possible, tweak the backend to return json responses instead of direct redirects for better control. cheers!
