Implementing a Route Guard
Understand how to implement route guards in Angular by creating TypeScript classes that use guard interfaces like CanActivate. Learn to link these guards with routes and register them in the application module to manage user access effectively.
We'll cover the following...
Step 1: Create a TypeScript class
To implement a route guard, we need to create a TypeScript class that uses one or more of these route interfaces. By implementing an interface, we need to have a function in our class that the interface says we should have.
So, if we implement the CanActivate interface, we need to have a canActivate() function in our class. This function returns true or false. If true, the user can access the route; if false, then they can’t.
For example, here is a class that uses a service (we will be looking at this in the ...
