What is an Angular route guard and how do I implement one?

An Angular route guard is a feature that allows you to control access to certain routes in your application. You can implement route guards to protect routes based on user authentication or other conditions.

Can you show me a simple example of a route guard?

Sure! Here's a basic example: You can create an AuthGuard that checks if a user is logged in before allowing access to a route. If not logged in, it redirects to the login page.

How do I create the AuthGuard in my Angular app?

You can create an AuthGuard by implementing the CanActivate interface. Then, use the @Injectable decorator to make it a service. Finally, add it to your route configuration.

What if I want to protect multiple routes with the same guard?

You can apply the same guard to multiple routes in your routing module by adding it to the canActivate array for each route you want to protect.
