Guards & Resolvers

Route Guards

Protect routes from unauthorized access.

CanActivate

Guard

import { inject } from '@angular/core';
import { Router, CanActivateFn } from '@angular/router';
import { AuthService } from './auth.service';

export const authGuard: CanActivateFn = (route, state) => {
  const authService = inject(AuthService);
  const router = inject(Router);

  if (authService.isLoggedIn()) {
    return true;
  }

  // Rediriger vers login
  return router.createUrlTree(['/login']);
};

Route Config

import { Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { authGuard } from './auth.guard';

export const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'admin',
    component: AdminComponent,
    canActivate: [authGuard]  // ← Guard applied here
  },
  {
    path: 'login',
    component: LoginComponent
  }
];

Auth Service

import { Injectable, signal } from '@angular/core';

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class AuthService {
  private loggedIn = signal(false);

  isLoggedIn(): boolean {
    return this.loggedIn();
  }

  login() {
    this.loggedIn.set(true);
  }

  logout() {
    this.loggedIn.set(false);
  }
}

CanActivateChild

Guard

export const adminGuard: CanActivateFn = (route, state) => {
  const authService = inject(AuthService);
  return authService.hasRole('admin');
};

Route Config

export const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'admin',
    canActivateChild: [adminGuard],  // ← Appliqué à tous les enfants
    children: [
      { path: 'users', component: UsersComponent },
      { path: 'settings', component: SettingsComponent }
    ]
  }
];

CanDeactivate

Guard

export interface CanComponentDeactivate {
  canDeactivate: () => boolean | Observable<boolean>;
}

export const canDeactivateGuard: CanDeactivateFn<CanComponentDeactivate> = (
  component
) => {
  return component.canDeactivate ? component.canDeactivate() : true;
};

Component

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-form',
  standalone: true,
  template: `
    <form>
      <input [(ngModel)]="data" (input)="hasUnsavedChanges = true">
      <button (click)="save()">Save</button>
    </form>
  `
})
export class FormComponent implements CanComponentDeactivate {
  data = '';
  hasUnsavedChanges = false;

  canDeactivate(): boolean {
    if (this.hasUnsavedChanges) {
      return confirm('You have unsaved changes. Leave anyway?');
    }
    return true;
  }

  save() {
    this.hasUnsavedChanges = false;
    // Save logic
  }
}

Route Config

{
  path: 'edit',
  component: FormComponent,
  canDeactivate: [canDeactivateGuard]
}

CanMatch

Guard

export const featureGuard: CanMatchFn = (route, segments) => {
  const featureService = inject(FeatureService);
  return featureService.isFeatureEnabled('newFeature');
};

Route Config

export const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'feature',
    canMatch: [featureGuard],  // ← If true, use this route
    loadComponent: () => import('./new-feature.component')
      .then(m => m.NewFeatureComponent)
  },
  {
    path: 'feature',  // ← Fallback if canMatch fails
    loadComponent: () => import('./old-feature.component')
      .then(m => m.OldFeatureComponent)
  }
];

Resolvers

Pré-charger les données avant d'activer la route.

Resolver de Base

Resolver

import { inject } from '@angular/core';
import { ResolveFn } from '@angular/router';
import { UserService } from './user.service';

export const userResolver: ResolveFn<User> = (route, state) => {
  const userService = inject(UserService);
  const id = route.paramMap.get('id')!;
  return userService.getUser(id);
};

Route Config

export const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'user/:id',
    component: UserDetailComponent,
    resolve: { user: userResolver }  // ← Data available as 'user'
  }
];

Component

import { Component, inject } from '@angular/core';
import { ActivatedRoute } from '@angular/router';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-user-detail',
  standalone: true,
  template: `
    <h2>{{ user.name }}</h2>
    <p>{{ user.email }}</p>
  `
})
export class UserDetailComponent {
  route = inject(ActivatedRoute);

  // Get resolved data from snapshot
  user = this.route.snapshot.data['user'] as User;

  // Ou de manière réactive
  ngOnInit() {
    this.route.data.subscribe(data => {
      this.user = data['user'];
    });
  }
}

Resolvers Multiples

Resolvers

export const userResolver: ResolveFn<User> = (route) => {
  return inject(UserService).getUser(route.params['id']);
};

export const postsResolver: ResolveFn<Post[]> = (route) => {
  return inject(PostService).getPosts(route.params['id']);
};

Route Config

export const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'user/:id',
    component: UserProfileComponent,
    resolve: {
      user: userResolver,      // ← Available as data['user']
      posts: postsResolver     // ← Available as data['posts']
    }
  }
];

Component

@Component({
  selector: 'app-user-profile',
  standalone: true,
  template: `
    <h2>{{ user.name }}</h2>
    <div *ngFor="let post of posts">
      <p>{{ post.title }}</p>
    </div>
  `
})
export class UserProfileComponent {
  route = inject(ActivatedRoute);

  ngOnInit() {
    const data = this.route.snapshot.data;
    this.user = data['user'];
    this.posts = data['posts'];
  }
}

Gestion des Erreurs dans Resolver

Resolver

import { catchError, EMPTY } from 'rxjs';

export const userResolver: ResolveFn<User> = (route) => {
  const userService = inject(UserService);
  const router = inject(Router);

  return userService.getUser(route.params['id']).pipe(
    catchError(error => {
      console.error('Failed to load user', error);
      router.navigate(['/not-found']);
      return EMPTY;  // Ne pas naviguer vers la route
    })
  );
};

Route Config

{
  path: 'user/:id',
  component: UserDetailComponent,
  resolve: { user: userResolver }  // ← Will redirect on error
}

Combiner Guards et Resolvers

Guards

export const authGuard: CanActivateFn = (route, state) => {
  return inject(AuthService).isLoggedIn();
};

export const unsavedChangesGuard: CanDeactivateFn<FormComponent> = (component) => {
  return component.canDeactivate();
};

Resolvers

export const userResolver: ResolveFn<User> = (route) => {
  return inject(UserService).getUser(route.params['id']);
};

export const settingsResolver: ResolveFn<Settings> = (route) => {
  return inject(SettingsService).getSettings();
};

Route Config

export const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'profile/:id',
    component: ProfileComponent,
    canActivate: [authGuard],                    // ← Check auth first
    canDeactivate: [unsavedChangesGuard],        // ← Check before leaving
    resolve: {                                    // ← Load data
      user: userResolver,
      settings: settingsResolver
    }
  }
];

Guard Basé sur les Rôles

Guard Factory

export function roleGuard(roles: string[]): CanActivateFn {
  return (route, state) => {
    const authService = inject(AuthService);
    const router = inject(Router);

    const userRoles = authService.getUserRoles();
    const hasRole = roles.some(role => userRoles.includes(role));

    if (hasRole) {
      return true;
    }

    return router.createUrlTree(['/unauthorized']);
  };
}

Route Config

export const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'admin',
    component: AdminComponent,
    canActivate: [roleGuard(['admin', 'superuser'])]  // ← Pass roles
  },
  {
    path: 'moderator',
    component: ModeratorComponent,
    canActivate: [roleGuard(['moderator', 'admin'])]
  }
];

Guard Asynchrone

Guard

export const permissionGuard: CanActivateFn = (route, state) => {
  const permissionService = inject(PermissionService);
  const router = inject(Router);

  return permissionService.checkPermission(route.data['permission']).pipe(
    map(hasPermission => {
      if (hasPermission) {
        return true;
      }
      return router.createUrlTree(['/forbidden']);
    })
  );
};

Route Config

{
  path: 'admin',
  component: AdminComponent,
  canActivate: [permissionGuard],
  data: { permission: 'admin.access' }  // ← Passé au guard
}

Guard avec Redirection

Guard

export const loginGuard: CanActivateFn = (route, state) => {
  const authService = inject(AuthService);
  const router = inject(Router);

  if (authService.isLoggedIn()) {
    return true;
  }

  // Rediriger vers login avec l'URL de retour
  return router.createUrlTree(['/login'], {
    queryParams: { returnUrl: state.url }
  });
};

Login Component

@Component({
  selector: 'app-login',
  standalone: true,
  template: `
    <button (click)="login()">Login</button>
  `
})
export class LoginComponent {
  route = inject(ActivatedRoute);
  router = inject(Router);
  authService = inject(AuthService);

  login() {
    this.authService.login();

    // Rediriger vers l'URL d'origine
    const returnUrl = this.route.snapshot.queryParams['returnUrl'] || '/';
    this.router.navigateByUrl(returnUrl);
  }
}

Bonnes Pratiques

• Utiliser les guards pour l'authentification/autorisation
• Utiliser les resolvers pour pré-charger les données critiques
• Toujours gérer les erreurs dans les resolvers
• Retourner UrlTree au lieu de router.navigate() dans les guards
• Garder les guards simples et ciblés
• Utiliser canMatch pour les feature flags
• Utiliser canDeactivate pour les changements non sauvegardés
• Combiner plusieurs guards si nécessaire
• Considérer les états de chargement pour les resolvers
