Description

The signature of a function used as a canActivate guard on a Route.

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 and uses a CanActivateFn that checks whether the current user has permission to activate the requested route.

@Injectable()class UserToken {}@Injectable()class PermissionsService { canActivate(currentUser: UserToken, userId: string): boolean { return true; } canMatch(currentUser: UserToken): boolean { return true; }}const canActivateTeam: CanActivateFn = ( route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot,) => { return inject(PermissionsService).canActivate(inject(UserToken), route.params['id']);};

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

bootstrapApplication(App, { providers: [ provideRouter([ { path: 'team/:id', component: TeamComponent, canActivate: [canActivateTeam], }, ]), ], });
