CanActivate

Interface that a class can implement to be a guard deciding if a route can be activated. If all guards return true, navigation continues. If any guard returns false, navigation is cancelled. If any guard returns a UrlTree, the current navigation is cancelled and a new navigation begins to the UrlTree returned from the guard.

The following example implements a CanActivate function that checks whether the current user has permission to activate the requested route.

class UserToken {}class Permissions { canActivate(): boolean { return true; }}@Injectable()class CanActivateTeam implements CanActivate { constructor(private permissions: Permissions, private currentUser: UserToken) {} canActivate( route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot ): MaybeAsync<GuardResult> { return this.permissions.canActivate(this.currentUser, route.params.id); }}

Here, the defined guard function is provided as part of the Route object in the router configuration:

@NgModule({ imports: [ RouterModule.forRoot([ { path: 'team/:id', component: TeamComponent, canActivate: [CanActivateTeam] } ]) ], providers: [CanActivateTeam, UserToken, Permissions]})class AppModule {}
