What are some examples of router guards in Vue CLI?

Can you explain what router guards are in Vue CLI?

Router guards are functions that control access to routes in a Vue application. They can be used to protect routes, redirect users, or perform checks before entering a route.

What are some examples of using router guards?

Sure! For example, you can use a beforeEnter guard to check if a user is authenticated before allowing access to a route.

How do I implement a global guard?

You can implement a global guard by using router.beforeEach() in your router configuration. This allows you to run checks before any route is entered.

Can you show me a code snippet for a route guard?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

router.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
  const isAuthenticated = false; // Replace with your auth logic
  if (to.meta.requiresAuth && !isAuthenticated) {
    next({ name: 'Login' });
  } else {
    next();
  }
});
