What is the purpose of HTTP Interceptors in Angular?

Expert Angular
Quick Answer HTTP Interceptors in Angular intercept all HTTP requests and responses before they reach the component code. Common uses: inject Authorization header for every request, handle 401 (unauthorized) globally by redirecting to login, show a global loading indicator, log all requests/responses, retry failed requests automatically. Register multiple interceptors - they form a chain with a defined order.

Answer

Interceptors modify all HTTP requests/responses. They inject tokens, handle errors, retry requests, log APIs, and centralize HTTP concerns for maintainability.
