Angular2-jwt: Webpack for AOT can't handle lambda expressions

[ckapilla]

This is for the v1.0 branch -- it is a known issue that lambda expressions won't work when compiling with Webpack for AOT as that process reguires named exported functions. Thus this line in jwt.interceptor.ts and jwt.interceptor.d.ts causes an error:

tokenGetter?: () => string | Promise;

The error at runtime is

this.tokenGetter is not a function.

A work-around is to replace the lambda expression with a named exported function. I'm not sure how that would work in a d.ts file, hopefully you can figure that out. Thanks.

same problem
Can someone help us please

I fixed it like this

export function getAccessToken() {
  return localStorage.getItem('access_token');
}

JwtModule.forRoot({
      config: {
        tokenGetter: (getAccessToken),
        whitelistedDomains: ['localhost:44314']
      }
    })

okay cool!

i will check out on morning and let you know,
if works on my side.

[jculverwell]

cool, just remember to change the whitelistedDomains in the example I pasted

[jjoao07]

okay cool!

Thanks for your suggestion -- interesting idea to use a string. Alas I'm still getting this error when I try it:

TypeError: this.tokenGetter is not a function
    at JwtInterceptor.intercept (vendor.bundle.js:1)
    at HttpInterceptorHandler.handle (

I should clarify that this is at run time. I'm not seeing the compile time error referenced above.

@jculverwell's solution didn't work for me either. It gives me this.tokenGetter is not a function.

@chenkie do you have a solution for this?

This worked ok for me, in same module:
Before module declaration:

export function getJwtToken(): string {
  return localStorage.getItem("access_token");
}

Module imports config:

JwtModule.forRoot({
      config: {
        tokenGetter: getJwtToken,
        whitelistedDomains: ['localhost:8000']
      }
    })

Angular 4.3.6
@auth0/angular-jwt 1.0.0-beta.9

Without a return type declaration the build wasn't passing for me.
