how to implement different roles in an angular application with JWT
You can use a canActivate guard
to implement role-based access to your routes.
First, create a guard using this command ng generate guard yourRoleName
Then, you can check the role and do your logic inside the CanActivate
method.
Here is a simple example:
import { Injectable } from "@angular/core";
import {
CanActivate,
} from "@angular/router";
@Injectable({
providedIn: "root",
})
export class YourRoleNameGuard implements CanActivate {
canActivate() {
const role = localStorage.getItem("role");
if (role == "YourRoleName") {
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
And add this guard for the routes you want to protect in app-routing.module.ts
const routes: Routes = [
{
path: "/your-path",
component: YourComponent,
canActivate: [YourRoleNameGuard],
},
]
@NgModule({
imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],
exports: [RouterModule],
})
export class AppRoutingModule {}
