Description: Router Guards in Angular are services that allow controlling access to routes within web applications built with this framework. Their main function is to protect certain routes from unauthorized access, ensuring that only users who meet specific criteria can access them. This is achieved by implementing interfaces that define methods to determine whether a route can be activated or not. Guards can be used to check user authentication, authorization of specific roles, or even to perform more complex checks, such as data validation before allowing access to a route. There are several types of guards, such as ‘CanActivate’, which determines if a route can be activated, and ‘CanDeactivate’, which controls if one can leave a route. Implementing these guards not only enhances the security of the application but also provides a better user experience by preventing unwanted access and managing navigation more effectively.
