Creating the Login function

The Login function follows almost the same structure as the Register function. The difference here is that we are just sending the email  address and password to the server.

Add the following code right after the onRegister() function:

     onLogin(user: User): Observable<User> {
                const request  =  JSON.stringify(
                        { email: user.email, password: user.password }
                );
                return  this.http.post(this.registerUrl, request,                httpOptions)
                .pipe(
                        map((response:  User) => {

                                const  token: string  =                                 response['access_token'];

                                        this.setToken(token);
                                        this.getUser().subscribe();
                                }
                                return  response;
                        }),
                catchError(error  =>  this.handleError(error))
                );
        }
