I would like to call pages through Routes in angular 2
In my app.modules I impoterd RouterModule and Routes, its ok look:
...
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { LoginComponent } from './login/login.component';
import { DashBoardComponent} from './dashboard/dashboard.component';
import { NotFoundComponent } from './not-found/not-found.component';
Here, I created a constant
const APPROUTES: Routes = [
{path: 'home', component: AppComponent},
{path: 'login', component: LoginComponent},
{path: 'dashboard', component: DashBoardComponent},
{path: '**', component: NotFoundComponent}
];
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent,
LoginComponent,
DashBoardComponent
NotFoundComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
FormsModule,
HttpModule,
MaterialModule.forRoot(),
RouterModule.forRoot(APPROUTES)
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
I have two pages initially, dashboard and login, I want that load first login page and afeter dashboard page with one condition if else ....
In the page main "appcomponent.ts" how to make this is condition login and dashboard ex
if(loggedin){
// page dashboard
}else{
// page login
}
Here are 3 ways to do what you asked, from least preferred to favorite:
Option 1. Imperatively redirect the user in AppComponent
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `...`
})
export class AppComponent {
constructor(authService: AuthService, router: Router) {
if (authService.isLoggedIn()) {
router.navigate(['dashboard']);
}
}
}
Not very good. It's better to keep the "login required" information in the route declaration where it belongs.
Option 2. Use a CanActivate
guard
Add a CanActivate
guard to all the routes that require the user to be logged in:
const APPROUTES: Routes = [
{path: 'home', component: AppComponent, canActivate:[LoginActivate]},
{path: 'dashboard', component: DashBoardComponent, canActivate:[LoginActivate]},
{path: 'login', component: LoginComponent},
{path: '**', component: NotFoundComponent}
];
My guard is called LoginActivate
.
For it to work I must add the guard to my module's providers
.
And then I need to implement it. In this example I'll use the guard to redirect the user if they're not logged in:
@Injectable()
export class LoginActivate implements CanActivate {
constructor(private authService: AuthService, private router: Router) {}
canActivate(
route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot,
state: RouterStateSnapshot
): Observable<boolean>|Promise<boolean>|boolean {
if (!this.authService.isLoggedIn()) {
this.router.navigate(['login']);
}
return true;
}
}
Check out the doc about route guards if this doesn't make sense: https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/router.html#guards
This option is better but not super flexible. What if we need to check for other conditions than "logged in" such as the user permissions? What if we need to pass some parameter to the guard, like the name of a role "admin", "editor"...?
Option 3. Use the route data
property
The best solution IMHO is to add some metadata in the routes declaration to indicate "this route requires that the user be logged in".
We can use the route data
property for that. It can hold arbitrary data and in this case I chose to include a requiresLogin
flag that's either true
or false
(false
will be the default if the flag is not defined):
const APPROUTES: Routes = [
{path: 'home', component: AppComponent, data:{requiresLogin: true}},
{path: 'dashboard', component: DashBoardComponent, data:{requiresLogin: true}}
];
Now the data
property in itself doesn't do anything. But I can use it to enforce my "login required" logic. For that I need a CanActivate
guard again.
Too bad, you say. Now I need to add 2 things to each protected route: the metadata AND the guard...
BUT:
- You can attach the
CanActivate
guard to a top-level route and it will be executed for all of its children routes [TO BE CONFIRMED]. That way you only need to use the guard once. Of course, it only works if the routes to protect are all children of a parent route (that's not the case in Rafael Moura's example).
- The
data
property allows us pass all kinds of parameters to the guard, e.g. the name of a specific role or permission to check, a number of points or credits that the user needs to possess to access the page, etc.
Taking these remarks into account, it's best to rename the guard to something more generic like AccessGuard
.
I'll only show the piece of code where the guard retrieves the data
attached to the route, as what you do inside the guard really depends on your situation:
@Injectable()
export class AccessGuard implements CanActivate {
canActivate(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot): Observable<boolean>|Promise<boolean>|boolean {
const requiresLogin = route.data.requiresLogin || false;
if (requiresLogin) {
// Check that the user is logged in...
}
}
}
For the above code to be executed, you need to have a route similar to:
{
path: 'home',
component: AppComponent,
data: { requiresLogin: true },
canActivate: [ AccessGuard ]
}
NB. Don't forget to add AccessGuard
to your module's providers
.
