How do I test Angular guards in my application?

To test Angular guards, you can use Jasmine and TestBed to create a testing module that includes your guard.

Can you show me a simple example of a test case for a guard?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import { TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { CanActivate } from '@angular/router';
import { MyGuard } from './my-guard.service';

describe('MyGuard', () => {
  let guard: MyGuard;

  beforeEach(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      providers: [MyGuard]
    });
    guard = TestBed.inject(MyGuard);
  });

  it('should be created', () => {
    expect(guard).toBeTruthy();
  });
});

What dependencies do I need to include for testing guards?

You typically need @angular/core/testing, @angular/router, and any services your guard depends on.

Are there any best practices for testing Angular guards?

Yes, ensure to mock dependencies, test both allowed and denied routes, and keep your tests isolated.
