A compression interceptor can be used to automatically request compressed content (e.g., gzip) from the server, reducing the amount of data transferred over the network.

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import {
  HttpInterceptor,
  HttpRequest,
  HttpHandler,
} from '@angular/common/http';

@Injectable()
export class CompressionInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor {
  intercept(
    request: HttpRequest<unknown>, 
    next: HttpHandler
  ) {
    const compressedRequest = request.clone({
      setHeaders: { 
        'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate' 
      },
    });
    return next.handle(compressedRequest);
  }
}
