How can I manage user permissions in a Vue.js application?

You can manage user permissions in Vue.js by using a combination of Vue Router for route guards and a state management library like Vuex to store user roles.

Can you give me an example of how to implement route guards?

Sure! You can create a route guard in your router configuration like this:

const router = new VueRouter({
  routes: [
    {
      path: '/admin',
      component: Admin,
      beforeEnter: (to, from, next) => {
        if (store.state.userRole === 'admin') {
          next();
        } else {
          next({ path: '/unauthorized' });
        }
      }
    }
  ]
});

What if I want to restrict access to certain components instead of routes?

You can use a similar approach by creating a custom directive or a mixin that checks the user's role before rendering the component.

Are there any libraries that can help with permissions management?

Yes, libraries like vue-acl or vue-permissions can simplify permissions management in your Vue.js application.
