How do I implement routing guards in Angular?

To implement routing guards in Angular, you can create a guard service that implements the CanActivate interface.

What are the different types of routing guards available?

There are several types of routing guards: CanActivate, CanDeactivate, Resolve, CanLoad, and CanActivateChild.

Can you show me an example of a CanActivate guard?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { CanActivate, ActivatedRouteSnapshot, RouterStateSnapshot, Router } from '@angular/router';

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

  canActivate(
    next: ActivatedRouteSnapshot,
    state: RouterStateSnapshot): boolean {
    const isLoggedIn = // your logic to check if user is logged in;
    if (!isLoggedIn) {
      this.router.navigate(['/login']);
      return false;
    }
    return true;
  }
}

How do I apply this guard to a route?

You can apply the guard in your routing module like this:

const routes: Routes = [
  { path: 'protected', component: ProtectedComponent, canActivate: [AuthGuard] }
];
