How do I implement advanced routing guards in Vue.js?

To implement advanced routing guards in Vue.js, you can use the beforeEnter guard in your route definitions. This allows you to control access to routes based on conditions like authentication or user roles.

Can you give me an example of using beforeEnter?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

const routes = [
  {
    path: '/admin',
    component: Admin,
    beforeEnter: (to, from, next) => {
      if (store.state.isAdmin) {
        next(); // allow access
      } else {
        next('/'); // redirect to home
      }
    }
  }
];

What if I want to use multiple guards?

You can chain multiple guards by using an array of functions. Each guard can call next() to proceed or redirect as needed. Just ensure they are defined in the correct order.

Are there any performance considerations I should be aware of?

Yes, keep in mind that complex logic in guards can slow down navigation. It's best to keep them lightweight and avoid heavy computations.
