ngx-restangular is not compatible with HttpInterceptor

[jonapoirier]

Angular 4.3 comes up with new HTTP tools, including HttpInterceptor !
More docs here

A simple call to a restangular method like :
this._restangular.all('foo').getList();
don't trigger the intercept method of HttpInterceptor :(

Specs from package.json :

This is probably because ngx-restangular uses the Http library under the hood and not HttpClient which is the library you are referring to.

Hello @jonapoirier, @ashgibson is right. Ngx-restangular is using Http class. For intercepting request you should use restangular methods such as addResponseInterceptor, addFullRequestInterceptor, addErrorInterceptor

@rshchpkn this doesn't actually let me intercept the request though, just modify it?

As in #153 I'm trying to mock requests with a fake back end, and it doesn't appear to be possible like you'd be able to with HttpInterceptor

Also it looks like HttpClient was merged in #133, so should HttpInterceptor now work? As it isn't as per 3.0.0.
