What are the different types of Vue Router guards?

Vue Router provides several types of guards: global guards, per-route guards, and in-component guards. Global guards apply to all routes, per-route guards are defined on specific routes, and in-component guards are used within components.

Can you explain global guards in more detail?

Global guards are functions that run before any route is entered. They can be used for authentication, logging, or any other logic that should apply to all routes. You can define them using router.beforeEach and router.afterEach.

What about per-route guards?

Per-route guards are defined directly in the route configuration. They allow you to specify guard logic that only applies to that particular route, making them useful for route-specific authentication or data fetching.

How do I implement in-component guards?

In-component guards are defined within the component itself using beforeRouteEnter, beforeRouteUpdate, and beforeRouteLeave lifecycle hooks. They allow you to control navigation based on the component's state.
