## Setting the Backend URL

### Single API

Use an HTTP interceptor to automatically add the API base URL. In modern
standalone Angular apps, a functional interceptor keeps the setup compact:

Expand All @@ -154,6 +156,268 @@ export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
};
```

An interceptor is global, though: it can only route by sniffing the outgoing
`req.url`. That falls apart once you generate more than one Angular API into
the same app and sit them behind a gateway or proxy that assigns each API its
own path prefix (or host) — the interceptor has no reliable way to know which
generated client a given request came from.

### DI-based base URL composition (multiple APIs / gateway routing)

Set `override.angular.baseUrl` to compose the base URL for a specific output
through Angular's dependency injection instead of a global interceptor. Unlike
the interceptor, the base URL is resolved per generated API, so a gateway that
maps different generated clients to different upstream paths can be modeled
directly in DI.

`apiId` is required and explicit — Orval never derives it from the
specification title or file name — so the generated token and helper names
stay stable across regenerations:

```ts title="orval.config.ts"
import { defineConfig } from 'orval';

export default defineConfig({
petstore: {
output: {
mode: 'tags-split',
target: 'src/api/petstore.ts',
schemas: 'src/api/model',
client: 'angular',
override: {
angular: {
baseUrl: { apiId: 'petstore' },
},
},
},
input: {
target: './petstore.yaml',
},
},
});
```

#### Generated artifacts

With `override.angular.baseUrl` set, Orval emits a sibling `<target>.base-url.ts`
file alongside the generated client:

```ts title="petstore.base-url.ts"
export const PETSTORE_SERVER_URL: string = 'http://petstore.swagger.io/v1';

export function normalizeBaseUrl(baseUrl: string): string {
return baseUrl.replace(/\/+$/, '');
}

export interface PetstoreBaseUrlResolverContext {
readonly apiId: 'petstore';
readonly serverUrl: string;
}

export type PetstoreBaseUrlResolver = (
context: PetstoreBaseUrlResolverContext,
) => string;

export const PETSTORE_BASE_URL_RESOLVER =
new InjectionToken<PetstoreBaseUrlResolver>('PETSTORE_BASE_URL_RESOLVER', {
providedIn: 'root',
factory: (): PetstoreBaseUrlResolver => (context) => context.serverUrl,
});

export const PETSTORE_BASE_URL = new InjectionToken<string>(
'PETSTORE_BASE_URL',
{
providedIn: 'root',
factory: (): string => {
const resolver = inject(PETSTORE_BASE_URL_RESOLVER);
return normalizeBaseUrl(
resolver({ apiId: 'petstore', serverUrl: PETSTORE_SERVER_URL }),
);
},
},
);

export function providePetstoreBaseUrl(baseUrl: string): Provider {
return { provide: PETSTORE_BASE_URL, useValue: normalizeBaseUrl(baseUrl) };
}

export function providePetstoreBaseUrlResolver(
resolver: PetstoreBaseUrlResolver,
): Provider {
return { provide: PETSTORE_BASE_URL_RESOLVER, useValue: resolver };
}
```

petstore.base-url.ts example so the shown declarations compile.


Identifiers are derived from `apiId` alone (`petstore` → `PETSTORE_*` /
`Petstore*` / `providePetstore*`), so they stay collision-free when multiple
outputs with different `apiId`s are generated into the same app. Every
generated `HttpClient` service method and `httpResource` function in this
output injects `PETSTORE_BASE_URL` and prefixes its route with it.

#### Precedence

`PETSTORE_BASE_URL` resolves in this order:

1. A directly provided value via `providePetstoreBaseUrl(...)` — wins outright,
the resolver below is never invoked.
2. A resolver provided via `providePetstoreBaseUrlResolver(...)`.
3. The default resolver factory, which just returns the embedded server URL.
4. The embedded `PETSTORE_SERVER_URL` constant, resolved at generation time
from the specification's `servers` field (empty string `''` when the
specification has no `servers` entry, which yields relative URLs).

Whatever value wins is passed through `normalizeBaseUrl`, which strips
trailing slashes (`'/api/x/'` → `'/api/x'`, `'https://h/'` → `'https://h'`,
`'/'` → `''`). Generated routes always start with `/`, so plain interpolation
(`` `${baseUrl}${route}` ``) can never double up or drop the separator between
them.

#### Multiple APIs behind one gateway

Because `InjectionToken` identity is per output, two generated outputs can't
literally share one token instance without a shared runtime package — Orval's
Angular output has no runtime dependency, by design. Instead, share one
resolver *function* and register it against each output's resolver token.
Type it against a small structural interface so it's assignable to every
generated `<Api>BaseUrlResolver`, regardless of `apiId`:

```ts title="app.config.ts"
import { provideHttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';

import { providePetstoreBaseUrlResolver } from './api/petstore.base-url';
import { provideInventoryBaseUrlResolver } from './api/inventory.base-url';

interface GatewayContext {
apiId: string;
serverUrl: string;
}

// One registry, one resolver function, shared across every generated API.
const gatewayRoutes: Record<string, string> = {
petstore: '/gateway/petstore',
inventory: '/gateway/inventory',
};

const gatewayResolver = (ctx: GatewayContext): string =>
gatewayRoutes[ctx.apiId] ?? ctx.serverUrl;

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
providers: [
provideHttpClient(),
providePetstoreBaseUrlResolver(gatewayResolver),
provideInventoryBaseUrlResolver(gatewayResolver),
],
};
```

Each output still resolves its *own* token independently — `gatewayResolver`
is just dispatched with a different `apiId` depending on which token invoked
it — so requests from the petstore client and the inventory client can land on
different upstream paths (or hosts) through the same gateway.

#### Testing

Override the token (or the resolver) in `TestBed` like any other provider:

```ts title="pets.service.spec.ts"
import { provideHttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import {
HttpTestingController,
provideHttpClientTesting,
} from '@angular/common/http/testing';
import { TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';

import {
providePetstoreBaseUrl,
providePetstoreBaseUrlResolver,
} from './api/petstore.base-url';
import { PetsService } from './api/petstore.service';

Use the tag-split PetsService import path.

The tags-split configuration generates PetsService at ./api/pets/pets.service, not ./api/petstore.service.

Angular guide’s PetsService import to use the generated tag-split path
./api/pets/pets.service instead of ./api/petstore.service, while leaving the
base URL imports unchanged.


describe('PetsService', () => {
let httpMock: HttpTestingController;

beforeEach(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
providers: [
provideHttpClient(),
provideHttpClientTesting(),
providePetstoreBaseUrl('/gateway/petstore'),
// or: providePetstoreBaseUrlResolver((ctx) => `/gateway/${ctx.apiId}`),
],
});

httpMock = TestBed.inject(HttpTestingController);
});

afterEach(() => httpMock.verify());

it('prefixes requests with the provided base URL', () => {

.createPets({ name: 'Rex', tag: 'dog' })
.subscribe();

httpMock.expectOne('/gateway/petstore/v1/pets').flush(null);
});
});
```

The same token, provided once in `TestBed`, backs both the `HttpClient`
service and any `httpResource` functions generated for the same output — so a
single provider override is enough to redirect every request in a test.

#### `httpResource` and injection context

Generated `httpResource` functions read the token with `inject()` when called
inside an injection context, and fall back to `options.injector.get(...)` when
an explicit `injector` is passed — the same rule that already applies to every
other injected dependency in generated `httpResource` functions:

```ts title="petstore.resource.ts"
export function showPetByIdResource(
petId: Signal<string>,
accept?: ShowPetByIdAccept,
version?: Signal<number>,
options?: OrvalHttpResourceOptions<Pet, unknown>,
): HttpResourceRef<Pet | undefined> {
const baseUrl = options?.injector
? options.injector.get(PETSTORE_BASE_URL)
: inject(PETSTORE_BASE_URL);
// ...
}
```

Call these functions during Angular's injection context (a constructor, a
field initializer, or `runInInjectionContext`), or pass an explicit
`injector` in `options` when you can't.

#### Notes

- **Zod runtime validation is unaffected.** `override.angular.runtimeValidation`
keeps validating responses exactly as before — the base URL token only
changes how the request URL is composed, not how the response is parsed.
- **Custom mutators receive the composed URL.** The `${baseUrl}` prefix is
applied to the route before it's handed to `generateMutatorConfig`, so a
configured `mutator` sees the same fully composed URL a plain `HttpClient`
call would use.
- **MSW mocks stay relative.** Mock route matching is unaffected by
`override.angular.baseUrl` — MSW handlers keep matching on the route path,
not the composed base URL.
- **Mutually exclusive with `output.baseUrl`.** `output.baseUrl` bakes a
static prefix into every generated route string for *all* clients;
combining it with `override.angular.baseUrl` would double-prefix (or
conflict with) every URL, so Orval throws a config-time error if both are
set on the same output. Remove `output.baseUrl` and use
`providePetstoreBaseUrlResolver` if you need the equivalent of a
runtime-configurable prefix.
- **`apiId` is always explicit.** It's never derived from the specification's
`info.title` or the target file name, so renaming your spec or output file
doesn't silently rename the generated DI tokens.
- Only the specification's top-level `servers` field is embedded as the
fallback URL. If your specification sets `servers` per path/operation,
the token still falls back to the spec-level `servers` entry (selected via
`index`/`variables`), not a per-path override.

#### apiId

**Type:** `String` (required)

Explicit, stable identifier for this API. Must match
`/^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_-]*$/`; Orval throws a config-time error otherwise.
`apiId` is **never** derived from the specification's `info.title` or the
target file name — it drives every generated identifier, so it needs to stay
stable across regenerations:

| Generated identifier | Derivation |
|---|---|
| `<API_ID>_SERVER_URL` | Embedded fallback URL constant |
| `<API_ID>_BASE_URL_RESOLVER` | `InjectionToken` for the runtime resolver hook |
| `<API_ID>_BASE_URL` | `InjectionToken` for the composed, normalized base URL |
| `<Api>BaseUrlResolverContext` | Resolver context type (`{ apiId, serverUrl }`) |
| `<Api>BaseUrlResolver` | Resolver function type |
| `provide<Api>BaseUrl(baseUrl)` | Directly provides the base URL, bypassing the resolver |
| `provide<Api>BaseUrlResolver(resolver)` | Provides a custom resolver |

`<API_ID>` is `apiId` upper-snake-cased (e.g. `petstore` → `PETSTORE`);
`<Api>` is `apiId` PascalCased (e.g. `petstore` → `Petstore`).

#### index

**Type:** `Number`
**Default:** `0`

Which entry of the specification's `servers` array to embed as the default
fallback URL, same semantics as [`baseUrl.index`](#index) on the top-level
`baseUrl` option.

#### variables

Values for any `{variable}` placeholders in the selected server URL.

#### Error and warning behavior

- **Missing/invalid `apiId`** — throws
`` `override.angular.baseUrl.apiId` must be a non-empty string matching /^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_-]*$/ `` at config-normalization time.
- **Combined with `output.baseUrl`** — throws: `` `override.angular.baseUrl` cannot be combined with the top-level `output.baseUrl` ``.
Remove `output.baseUrl` from the output; the token's fallback already reads
the specification's `servers` field, and a runtime override belongs in a
provided resolver.
- **Set on a non-`angular` client** — logs a warning and is otherwise ignored.
- **Set under `override.operations[...].angular` or `override.tags[...].angular`**
— logs a warning and is ignored. `baseUrl` is an output-level concern
configured once via `override.angular.baseUrl`, not per operation or tag.
