What are router guards in Vue 3?

Router guards in Vue 3 are functions that control access to routes. They can be used to check authentication, permissions, or perform actions before entering or leaving a route.

How can I log the activity of these router guards?

You can log the activity by adding console.log statements within the guard functions. For example, in a beforeEnter guard, you can log the route being accessed.

Can you show me an example of logging in a router guard?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

router.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
  console.log(`Navigating to: ${to.path}`);
  next();
});

What if I want to log only certain routes?

You can add a condition to check the route name or path before logging. For example:

router.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
  if (to.name === 'specificRoute') {
    console.log(`Navigating to: ${to.path}`);
  }
  next();
});
