How can I protect routes in my Angular app using Auth0?

To protect routes in your Angular app with Auth0, you can use route guards. First, install the Auth0 SDK and configure it.

What are route guards and how do I implement them?

Route guards are services that determine if a route can be activated. You can implement them by creating a guard service that checks if the user is authenticated.

Can you show me a code example for a route guard?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { CanActivate, Router } from '@angular/router';
import { AuthService } from './auth.service';

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate {
  constructor(private auth: AuthService, private router: Router) {}

  canActivate(): boolean {
    if (this.auth.isAuthenticated()) {
      return true;
    }
    this.router.navigate(['/login']);
    return false;
  }
}

What should I do if the user is not authenticated?

If the user is not authenticated, you can redirect them to a login page or show an error message. It's essential to guide them to log in.
