JWT authentication and images

[Rémi]

Hi,

My app needs authentication and I use JWT.

Is want to populate a TreeView with some personal image, but the question stay open for all component with ImageUrlField property

 

How to query an image url that contains the JWT token, ie in the header

Authorization: Bearer <token>

?

Thanks

Hello Rémi,

How would you use an <img /> tag and include this token in your app? I am not aware of a built-in way to do that and at this point my best suggestion is that you implement a Razor Component that provides this capability as required by your situation, and use it in a template in the Telerik component (link to the treeview templates examples).

Thanks Marin,

The work around I found is to use HttpClient to download the image stream and set URL like this

string urlField { get {

... HttpClient logic here ...

string imageBase64Data = Convert.ToBase64String(ms.ToArray());
return string.Format("data:image/jpeg;base64,{0}", imageBase64Data);

} }

Hello Rémi,

I expected this would be the general approach. I have marked your post as an answer to this thread.
