How can I use Vue Router guards for data fetching?

You can use Vue Router guards to fetch data before navigating to a route. This ensures that the required data is available when the component is rendered.

Can you show me an example of how to implement this?

Sure! You can define a beforeEnter guard in your route definition. Inside this guard, you can make your data fetching call.

What happens if the data fetching fails?

If the data fetching fails, you can redirect the user to an error page or show a notification. You can handle this by returning a promise that resolves or rejects based on the fetch result.

Is there a way to handle loading states during data fetching?

Yes, you can use a loading state in your component. Set it to true before the fetch starts and false once it completes, allowing you to show a loading spinner.
