I have an Angular 7 app in which I have a route like this
{ path : 'forgot-password/:resetHash/:email',
component : ForgotPasswordComponent,
canActivate : [ForgotPasswordPageGuard]},
Now I tried to access this route's params
in it's route-guard
but I didn't get route params in guard. Here is my forgotpassword.route.guard.ts
constructor(private _utilityService: UtilitySerivce, private _dataService: DataService, private _const: Constants, private _router: ActivatedRouteSnapshot) {
}
canActivate = (): boolean => {
console.log('in link expiry guard')
let userEmail = this._router.paramMap.get('email');
let isAllow = false;
console.log('params : ', userEmail)
userEmail = this._utilityService.decryptMsgByCryptoJs(userEmail);
console.log('user email : ', userEmail)
this._dataService.post(this._const.userResetPasswordLinkExpiry, { email: userEmail }).subscribe(resp => {
if (resp.success) {
isAllow = true;
} else {
isAllow = false;
}
})
if (isAllow) {
return true;
} else {
this._utilityService.navigate('/login');
this._dataService.exhangeResetPasswordObsMsg({ event: 'linkExpired' });
return false;
}
}
But it's giving this error
What am I doing wrong?
canActivate
takes the ActivatedRouteSnapshot
as its first parameter, so add that to your function.
export class MyGuard implements CanActivate {
canActivate(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot): boolean => {
const email = route.paramMap.get('email');
// the rest of the implementation
}
}
CanActivate
interface from the docs
interface CanActivate {
canActivate(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot):
Observable<boolean | UrlTree> | Promise<boolean | UrlTree> | boolean | UrlTree
}
EDIT
If you want to make an HTTP request inside your guard, you return Observable<boolean>
instead. You can see that this is permitted from the interface.
export class MyGuard implements CanActivate {
constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}
canActivate(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot): Observable<boolean> => {
const email = route.paramMap.get('email');
return this.http.get('some url').pipe(
// map response to some boolean value that determines the permission
map((response): boolean => true)
);
}
}
