If i specify three guards on a route, it seems as though all guards are evaluated immediately.
{path: '', component: OptionsComponent, canActivate: [ GuardOne, GuardTwo, GuardThree]}
The problem I have is I don't want GuardTwo
to run until GuardOne has finished. Is there any way to achieve this?
I don't think that's possible in the 4.1.3. Here is the code that runs the guards:
private runCanActivate(future: ActivatedRouteSnapshot): Observable<boolean> {
const canActivate = future._routeConfig ? future._routeConfig.canActivate : null;
if (!canActivate || canActivate.length === 0) return of (true);
const obs = map.call(from(canActivate), (c: any) => {
const guard = this.getToken(c, future);
let observable: Observable<boolean>;
if (guard.canActivate) {
observable = wrapIntoObservable(guard.canActivate(future, this.future));
} else {
observable = wrapIntoObservable(guard(future, this.future));
}
return first.call(observable);
});
return andObservables(obs);
}
This simplified piece:
// array of all guards
canActivate.map((guard)=>{
observable = guard.canActivate()
})
runs all guards in a sequence without waiting for the previous to finish.
One possible solution would be to have one service that implements CanActivate
and combines other guards:
class Combined {
constructor(private gA: GuardA, private gB: GuardB) {}
canActivate(r, s) {
return gA.canActivate(r, s).then(()=>{ return gB.canActivate() });
}
}
...
{path: '', component: OptionsComponent, canActivate: [ Combined ]}
