How can I use Vuex with routing guards in my Vue.js application?

You can use Vuex to manage your application's state and integrate it with routing guards by checking the state before allowing access to certain routes.

Can you give me a code example of how to implement this?

Sure! In your router configuration, you can use a beforeEach guard to check the Vuex state. Here's a simple example:

router.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
  const isAuthenticated = store.state.isAuthenticated;
  if (to.matched.some(record => record.meta.requiresAuth) && !isAuthenticated) {
    next({ name: 'Login' });
  } else {
    next();
  }
});

What if I want to redirect users based on their roles?

You can extend the logic in the beforeEach guard to check the user's role from the Vuex state and redirect accordingly. For example:

router.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
  const userRole = store.state.userRole;
  if (to.meta.roles && !to.meta.roles.includes(userRole)) {
    next({ name: 'Unauthorized' });
  } else {
    next();
  }
});
