NG2 Keepalive

NG2 Keepalive is a keepalive module that allows sessions to be extended across multiple servers (useful for microservices without shared sessions)

Dependencies

• @angular/common
• @angular/core
• @angular/http

Installation

npm install --save ng2-keepalive

Once installed you need to import our main module:

import {KeepaliveModule} from 'ng2-keepalive';

The only remaining part is to list the imported module in your application module, passing in a config to intialize the logger.

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent, ...],
  imports: [KeepaliveModule.forRoot({...}), ...],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}

Usage

To use NG2 Keepalive, you will need to add it to your an application html file

<ng2-keepalive></ng2-keepalive>
