Access to current_user inside of rails-api

[nickskalkin]

Hello everyone! I'm totally newbie in AngularJS. I try to set up authentication using your library, and I've stuck in one point. I use rails-api as a backend. When trying to achieve current_user inside of it, I have 401 Unauthorized error. I don't know what it could be, so I've try to compare pure working RoR/Devise (without json api) request, with my own (not working). Seems like I have no valid cookie.
Working example sends something like:
Cookie: _notes_session=RVo2cUo4SXRNblMrYnFZdURlV09pSUFFdEMvOHIvSTEwZjNjaXQ5NnlkYlhId3ZEYkpIaXJWdHJOaDFUUTRjYTcrdTJ5cDNId2paKzNlQUlPU05XMzBiTDlVTFR5TXpNdE1yc0RlNjJFeCtqQTNSclZVbHVTMmwzZWpUNER3c25zTllqaElrb0h1SCtKNnFhSFBST0F1TlpCWm0xbC9Qc0dMakxiZGtwY0NiS2pTeTRCZWw5SE5jRE5sTElRaGNTY1VreVI2dW5RUExUV0plYnZ5Ym9PblMzMDRUQlBmTEZVOWkxcktTVHdYOE5vN2hXaDNTVFhJUmEvN1NNMGRKTkh0TEFNSTN1by9mQTgyNzZ0VUdJb2Q1QTBMWlFRem1QSmRzcy9pcFNkOW5ZcmFiUFQ0Z3pZRjg1YzZKZzlQdXktLVZQUURqWmZYa2VDaXc1WWQ0RjgwZUE9PQ%3D%3D--f58ab59c39ff22799c3e577ae52b92765ce7d249

The question is: Do I really need that cookie to be authorized in my rails-api app, and when can I get this cookie.

Sorry, it was on rails-api side. Rails-api by default doesn't use ActionDispatch::Cookies and ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore. You can prevent it by setting config.api_only = false in your application.rb.

But I suppose it's not a good practice
