Angular 2 AuthGuard Service with redirect?
Here's how to correctly handle redirects in a guard by using an UrlTree
@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class AuthGuard implements CanActivateChild {
constructor(
private authService: AuthService,
private logger: NGXLogger,
private router: Router
) {}
canActivateChild(
next: ActivatedRouteSnapshot,
state: RouterStateSnapshot): Observable<boolean | UrlTree> {
return this.authService.isLoggedIn().pipe(
map(isLoggedIn => {
if (!isLoggedIn) {
return this.router.parseUrl('/login');
}
return true;
})
);
}
}
Big thanks to Angular In Depth for the explanation!
In AuthGuard
do the following:
@Injectable()
export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate {
constructor(private authService: AuthService, private router: Router) {}
canActivate() {
if (/*user is logged in*/) {
this.router.navigate(['/dashboard']);
return true;
} else {
this.router.navigate(['/Login']);
}
return false;
}
}
