export const environment: ApplicationConfig = {
  // app name
  appName: '@fullerstack/ngx-jwt',
  // production, staging or development
  production: false,
  log: {
    // log level (application-wide)
    level: LogLevel.debug,
  },
  jwt: {
    // estimate time of http request between client -> server (greater than zero)
    networkDelay: 1,
    // backend may honor expired request arrive `x` seconds after expiry
    expiryLeeway: 5,
  },
};

// In your app.module.ts

import { ConfigModule } from '@fullerstack/ngx-config';
import { LoggerModule } from '@fullerstack/ngx-logger';
import { JwtModule } from '@fullerstack/ngx-jwt';

import { environment } from '../environments/environment';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    ConfigModule.forRoot(environment), // make the environment injectable
    LoggerModule,
    JwtModule,
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}

// In your app.module.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { ConfigService } from '@fullerstack/ngx-config';
import { LoggerService } from '@fullerstack/ngx-logger';
import { JwtService } from '@fullerstack/ngx-jwt';

@Component({
  selector: 'fullerstack-root',
  template: `<h1>Welcome to {{ title }}!</h1>`,
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'Fullerstack';
  options = {};
  constructor(
    readonly config: ConfigService,
    readonly logger: LoggerService,
    readonly jwt: JwtService
  ) {
    this.title = this.config.options.appName;

    this.logger.info('AppComponent loaded ...');

    const someToken = 'some-jwt-token-received-from-server'; // <part-1>.<part-2>.<part-2>
    const payload = this.jwt.getPayload(someToken);
    const isExpired = this.jwt.isExpired(payload);
    if (!isExpired) {
      const userId = payload.sub;
      const nextRefresh = this.jwt.getRefreshTime(payload);
      setTimeout(() => {
        // connect to the server to get a new token
      }, nextRefresh * 1000);
    }
  }
