Set Ag-Grid License key using REST call
I am evaluating an enterprise license version of Ag-Grid in my Angular application. As per official document, it is suggested to use LicenseManager.setLicenseKey('my key') inside main.ts file before Angular bootstrap. I follow the procedure and I am able to launch the grid without any error.
Problem starts, when I don't want to commit my key inside the public github repository. Hence, I am getting it from my live server, by putting it manually there in system variable and accessing it by REST call (using crypto-js encryption). Now, if I have to get the key from REST call, I need to make a XMLHttpRequest before Angular bootstrap and I have to make sure angular bootstrap logic goes inside the success and failure of that REST call.
Now, these looks not good for me at all as:
- There will be an extra network latency for my application to start
- Bootstrap dependency on REST call.
- Using XMLHttpRequest instead of Angular's HttpClient.
Is there any good way to setup this license key ? Can I set it during ng build --myCustomConfiguration_LicenseKey='XYZ', which I can pass it from build tool (Teamcity) ?
Note:
- I tried making a REST call inside AppComponent or XMLHttpRequest call
in bootstrap success method but still I am getting error in console
that I am not using license version of the app. If I hard-code it ,
it works fine. - I am forced not to use git-secret or any other library.

Yes - without using REST call.
Once you do ng build --prod, the LicenseManager.setLicenseKey('#my_key#') part of your code goes into main.<randomString>.js file of the generated output.
You can have one powershell script (or shell script) which replaces #my_key# with your actual license key.
OR
In your CI, once you get the latest code, replace
#my_key#with your actual license key inmain.tsfile with powershell (or shell) script. Add this step to your CI.Trigger

Thanks Paritosh for your response , but in this case my key will be visible to my browser source code clearly, even though I do a production minified build.

That's right if you don't want that. Anyways, will keep the answer - perhaps it'll be helpful to someone else.
