Installation:

To install Angular-Token, follow these steps:

1. Set up a Rails backend with Devise Token Auth.
2. Install Angular-Token via npm:

   npm install angular-token
   

3. Import and add AngularTokenModule to your main Angular module. Ensure that HttpClientModule is also imported:

   import { AngularTokenModule } from 'angular-token';
   import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';
   
   @NgModule({
     imports: [
       AngularTokenModule.forRoot({
         // Add your configuration here
       }),
       HttpClientModule
     ]
   })
   export class AppModule { }
   

4. (Optional) Fix injection context runtime error: If you encounter an ‘inject() must be called from an injection context’ error after installation, add the following to your typescript path config in the tsconfig[.app].json file:

   "paths": {
     "@angular/*": [
       "node_modules/@angular/*"
     ],
     ...
   }

Angular-Token is a powerful authentication service for Angular applications, offering token-based authentication, interceptor support, and multi-user capabilities. With seamless integration with Rails’s devise token auth gem, it provides a robust and secure solution for user authentication.
