How can I implement user permissions with React Router?

You can manage user permissions in React Router by using route guards. You can create a higher-order component that checks user roles before rendering a route.

Can you show me an example of a route guard?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

const PrivateRoute = ({ component: Component, ...rest }) => {
  const isAuthenticated = // logic to check if user is authenticated;
  return (
    <Route
      {...rest}
      render={props =>
        isAuthenticated ? (
          <Component {...props} />
        ) : (
          <Redirect to='/login' />
        )
      }
    />
  );
};

What if I have multiple user roles?

You can extend the route guard to check for specific roles. For example, you can pass an array of allowed roles and check if the user's role is included.

Thanks! How do I handle redirects for unauthorized users?

You can use the <Redirect> component from React Router to send unauthorized users to a login page or an error page based on your application's flow.
