Docs for $http interceptor - what is the config object?

[adamzerner]

The docs say that you have access to the config object, but don't say what the object looks like. It'd be helpful to know what the object looks like.

It is the same config object as documented in the "Usage" section of https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http

In other words - the same config that is used to trigger the original $http call that is being intercepted.

[adamzerner]

I don't understand. It says:

The $http service is a function which takes a single argument — a configuration object — that is used to generate an HTTP request and returns a promise

But it doesn't document what this object looks like. Below, it gives examples using the shortcut methods $http.get and $http.post.

Edit: never mind, I see that it's documented below. So it's mentioned in the Usage section, but documented below. I still don't think it's clear that the config object mentioned is the Interceptors section refers to the same config object.

Edit 2: sorry, I confused the wording. It is in fact documented in the Usage section like you said (I confused Usage with General Usage). But I still think my point remains about it not being clear that the config objects are the same.

It's actually mentioned in the General Usage section (which might not be the best name), but document in the Usage section.
It might be a good idea to add a link to the Usage section on the phrase "configuration object" in:
"The $http service is a function which takes a single argument — a configuration object — that..."

The General Usage section itself doesn't show the config object very well, though, because it shows two examples with shortcuts.

I have a PR here: #12950

Technically, it's almost impossible to miss the Usage section when reading the docs, it's simply that there's so much in there, and a beginner doesn't really know that the usage section comes at the end ..
