How do I implement redirects in a Vue.js app using Firebase?

To implement redirects in a Vue.js app with Firebase, you can use Firebase Hosting's rewrite rules. First, ensure your app is set up with Firebase. Then, in your firebase.json file, you can define the redirects under the rewrites section.

Can you show me an example of the firebase.json configuration?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

{
  "hosting": {
    "rewrites": [
      {
        "source": "/old-path",
        "destination": "/new-path"
      }
    ]
  }
}
``` This will redirect requests from `/old-path` to `/new-path`.

What if I want to redirect based on user authentication?

For user authentication-based redirects, you can use Vue Router's navigation guards. Check if the user is authenticated and redirect accordingly in your route definitions.

Can you explain how to set up navigation guards?

Absolutely! In your router configuration, you can add a beforeEach guard like this:

router.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
  const isAuthenticated = // your logic to check authentication;
  if (to.meta.requiresAuth && !isAuthenticated) {
    next({ path: '/login' });
  } else {
    next();
  }
});
``` This will redirect unauthenticated users to the login page.
