To install this library, run:
$ npm install ngx-permissions --save
You can import library in any Angular application by running:
$ npm install ngx-permissions --save
and then from your Angular AppModule
:
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
// Import your library
import { NgxPermissionsModule } from 'ngx-permissions';
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
// Specify your library as an import
NgxPermissionsModule.forRoot()
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
SharedModule
If you use a SharedModule that you import in multiple other feature modules, you can export the NgxPermissionsModule to make sure you don't have to import it in every module.
@NgModule({
exports: [
CommonModule,
NgxPermissionsModule
]
})
export class SharedModule { }
Note: Never call a forRoot static method in the SharedModule. You might end up with different instances of the service in your injector tree. But you can use forChild if necessary.
When you lazy load a module, you should use the forChild
static method to import the NgxPermissionsModule
.
Since lazy loaded modules use a different injector from the rest of your application, you can configure them separately.
You can also isolate the service by using permissionsIsolate: true
or rolesIsolate: true
. In which case the service is a completely isolated instance.
Otherwise, by default, it will share its data with other instances of the service.
@NgModule({
imports: [
NgxPermissionsModule.forChild()
]
})
export class LazyLoadedModule { }
@NgModule({
imports: [
NgxPermissionsModule.forChild({
permissionsIsolate: true,
rolesIsolate: true})
]
})
export class LazyIsolatedLoadedModule { }
Once your library is imported, you can use its components, directives and pipes in your Angular application:
Import service to the main application and load permissions
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { NgxPermissionsService } from 'ngx-permissions';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
title = 'app';
constructor(private permissionsService: NgxPermissionsService,
private http: HttpClient) {}
ngOnInit(): void {
const perm = ["ADMIN", "EDITOR"];
this.permissionsService.loadPermissions(perm);
this.http.get('url').subscribe((permissions) => {
//const perm = ["ADMIN", "EDITOR"]; example of permissions
this.permissionsService.loadPermissions(permissions);
})
}
}
Usage in templates
<div *ngxPermissionsOnly="['ADMIN', 'GUEST']">
<div>You can see this text congrats</div>
</div>
<ng-template ngxPermissionsOnly="ADMIN">
<div>You can see this text congrats</div>
</ng-template>
<ng-template [ngxPermissionsExcept]="['JOHNY']">
<div> All will see it except JOHNY</div>
</ng-template>
- Introduction
- Defining permissions
- Individual permissions
- To load permissions before application start up
- Multiple permissions
- Removing permissions
- Retrieving permissions
Let's start with little explanation what permission is. Permission is the most atomic ability that a user can have in your application. So you can think about permission as a smallest action that user can do inside your site.
But can user
or anonymous
be a permission? Technically yes, but from business point of view you should treat them
as Roles that are more complex objects that can store more complex logic.
π‘ Note
It's a good convention to start permission with a verb and combine them with resource or object, so permissions likereadDocuments
orlistSongs
are meaningful and easy to understand for other programmes. Notice that they are named lowerCamelCase for easy differentiation form roles.
π Warning
This library is intended for simplify the client side development workflow in a role based web application. DO NOT RELY ONLY ON THIS CHECKS FOR YOU APPLICATION SECURITY! Client side checks can be easily bypassed, so always implement the checks on the backend!
So, how do you tell Permission what does 'readDocuments' or 'listSongs' mean and how to know if the current user belongs to those definitions?
Well, Permission allows you to set different 'permissions' definitions along with the logic that determines if the current
session belongs to them. To do that library exposes special container NgxPermissionsService
that allows you to manipulate them freely.
To add permissions individually NgxPermissionsService
exposes method addPermission
that generic usage is shown below or add as array:
[...]
ngOnInit() {
this.permissionsService.addPermission('changeSomething')
this.permissionsService.addPermission(['changeSomething', 'anotherAlso'])
this.permissionsService.addPermission('changeSomething', () => {
return true;
})
this.permissionsService.addPermission('anotherPermissions', (permissionName, permissionsObject) => {
return !!permissionsObject[permissionName];
});
this.permissionsService.addPermission(['anotherPermissions', 'AnotherOne'], (permissionName, permissionsObject) => {
return !!permissionsObject[permissionName];
});
//Will add validation function to every permission
this.permissionsService.addPermission(['anotherPermissions', 'AnotherOne'], (permissionName, permissionsObject) => {
return !!permissionsObject[permissionName];
});
this.permissionsService.addPermission('permissions', (permissionName, permissionsObject) => {
return this.checkSession().toPromise();
});
}
APP_INITIALIZER is defined in angular/core. You include it in your app.module.ts like this.
APP_INITIALIZER is an OpaqueToken that references the ApplicationInitStatus service. ApplicationInitStatus is a multi provider. It supports multiple dependencies and you can use it in your providers list multiple times. It is used like this.
import { APP_INITIALIZER } from '@angular/core';
@NgModule({
providers: [
DictionaryService,
{
provide: APP_INITIALIZER,
useFactory: (ds: DictionaryService, ps: NgxPermissionsService ) => function() {return ds.load().then((data) => {return ps.loadPermissions(data)})},
deps: [LoadService, NgxPermissionsService],
multi: true
}]
})
export class AppModule { }
Validation function are injected with any angular services. There are 2 local injectables available that can be used to implement more complex validation logic.
Injectable Local | Description |
---|---|
permissionName |
String representing name of checked permission |
permissionsObject |
Object of store permissions storing permissions properties |
It also have to return one of values to properly represent results:
Validation result | Returned value |
---|---|
Valid | [true |Promise.resolve() but it should not resolve false ] |
Invalid | [false |Promise.reject() or Promise.resolve(false) ] |
To define multiple permissions method loadPermissions
can be used. The only
difference from definePermission
is that it accepts Array
of permission names instead of single one.
Often meet example of usage is set of permissions (e.g. received from server after user login) that you will iterate over to check if permission is valid.
const permissions = ['listMeeting', 'seeMeeting', 'editMeeting', 'deleteMeeting']
NgxPermissionsService.loadPermissions(permissions)
NgxPermissionsService.loadPermissions(permissions, (permissionName, permissionStore) => {
return !!permissionStore[permissionName];
})
NOTE: This method will remove older permissions and pass only new;
You can easily remove all permissions form the NgxPermissionsService
(e.g. after user logged out or switched profile) by calling:
NgxPermissionsService.flushPermissions();
Alternatively you can use removePermission
to delete defined permissions manually:
NgxPermissionsService.removePermission('user');
And to get all user permissions use method getPermissions
or use Observable permissions$
:
var permissions = NgxPermissionsService.getPermissions();
NgxPermissionsService.permissions$.subscribe((permissions) => {
console.log(permissions)
})
Make sure you are familiar with:
By definition a role is a named set of abilities (permissions) by which a specific group of users is identified.
So for example USER
or ANONYMOUS
would be roles and not permissions. We can represent our USER
role as a group of permissions that the role should be able to perform. For example: listArticles
, editArticles
and other custom server/browser validated privileges.
π‘ Note
It's a good convention to name roles with UPPER_CASE, so roles likeACCOUNTANT
orADMIN
are easier to distinguish from permissions.
Similarly to permissions we are gonna use here RolesService
that exposes addRole
allowing to define custom roles used by users in your application.
[...]
NgxRolesService
.addRole('ROLE_NAME', ['permissionNameA', 'permissionNameB', 'permissionNameC', ...])
NgxRolesService.addRole('Guest', () => {
return this.sessionService.checkSession().toPromise();
});
NgxRolesService.addRole('Guest', () => {
return true;
});
Validation function are injected with any angular services. There are 2 local injectables available that can be used to implement more complex validation logic.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
roleName |
String representing name of checked role |
transitionProperties |
Array or validation function |
It also have to return one of values to properly represent results:
Validation result | Returned value |
---|---|
Valid | [true |Promise.resolve() but it should not resolve false ] |
Invalid | [false |Promise.reject() or Promise.resolve(false) ] |
Note: Right now to make request to the backend it only supports promises Note: If at least one of request fulfils it will show the component
Usage of addRole
is very similar to addPermissions
:
NgxRolesService
NgxPermission
// Library will internally validate if 'listEvents' and 'editEvents' permissions are valid when checking if role is valid
.addRole('ADMIN', ['listEvents', 'editEvents']);
NgxRolesService.addRole('Guest', () => {
return this.sessionService.checkSession().toPromise();
});
Service NgxRolesService
allows you define multiple roles with addRoles
method. This method accepts Object
containing keys as a role names and corresponding validators as values.
NgxRolesService
// Or use your own function/service to validate role
.addRoles({
'USER': ['canReadInvoices'],
'ADMIN': ['canReadInvoices','canEditInvoices','canUploadImages'],
'GUEST': () => {
return this.sessionService.checkSessions().toPromise();
}
});
π‘ Note
To remove all roles use flushRoles
method:
NgxRolesService.flushRoles();
Alternatively you can use removeRole
to delete defined role manually:
NgxRolesService.removeRole('USER');
To get specific role use method getRole
:
let role = NgxRolesService.getRole('roleName');
And to get all roles form NgxRolesService
use method getRoles
or use Observable roles$
:
let roles = NgxRolesService.getRoles();
NgxRolesService.roles$.subscribe((data) => {
console.log(data);
})
Permission module exposes directive ngxPermissionsOnly
and ngxPermissionsExcept
that can show/hide elements of your application based on set of permissions.
π₯ Important
Else, then syntax is supported.
Note if you usethen
block don't put anything in main block it will be not visible, onlythen
block will be used.
Permission directive accepts several attributes:
Attribute | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
ngxPermissionsOnly |
[String | String[]] |
Single or multiple permissions allowed to access content |
ngxPermissionsExcept |
[String | String[]] |
Single or multiple permissions denied to access content |
(permissionsAuthorized) |
EventEmitter | EventEmitter emitted when authorized |
(permissionsUnauthorized) |
EventEmitter | EventEmitter emitted when unAuthorized |
Directives accepts either single permission that has to be met in order to display it's content,
You can use both ngxPermissionsOnly
and ngxPermissionsExcept
at the same time:
<ng-template [ngxPermissionsOnly]="['ADMIN']" (permissionsAuthorized)="yourCustomAuthorizedFunction()" (permissionsUnauthorized)="yourCustomAuthorizedFunction()">
<div>You can see this text congrats</div>
</ng-template>
<ng-template [ngxPermissionsOnly]="'ADMIN'" [ngxPermissionsExcept]="'Manager'">
<div>You can see this text congrats</div>
</ng-template>
<ng-template ngxPermissionsOnly="ADMIN">
<div>You can see this text congrats</div>
</ng-template>
<ng-template [ngxPermissionsExcept]="['JOHNY']">
<div> All will see it except JOHNY</div>
</ng-template>
Or set of permissions separated by 'coma':
<ng-template [ngxPermissionsOnly]="['ADMIN', 'GUEST']">
<div>You can see this text congrats</div>
</ng-template>
<ng-template [ngxPermissionsExcept]="['ADMIN', 'JOHNY']">
<div>All will see it except admin and Johny</div>
</ng-template>
<ng-template [ngxPermissionsExcept]="['ADMIN', 'JOHNY']" [ngxPermissionsOnly]="['MANAGER']">
<div>All will see it except admin and Johny</div>
</ng-template>
<ng-template [ngxPermissionsExcept]="['MANAGER']"
[ngxPermissionExceptThen]="thenBlock"
[ngxPermissionExceptElse]="elseBlock">
</ng-template>
<ng-template #elseBlock>
<div>elseBlock</div>
</ng-template>
<ng-template #thenBlock>
<div>thenBlock</div>
</ng-template>
<ng-template
[ngxPermissionsOnly]="['MANAGER']"
[ngxPermissionsOnlyThen]="thenBlock"
[ngxPermissionsOnlyElse]="elseBlock">
</ng-template>
<ng-template #elseBlock>
<div>elseBlock</div>
</ng-template>
<ng-template #thenBlock>
<div>thenBlock</div>
</ng-template>
Or just simply by *
<div *ngxPermissionsOnly="['ADMIN', 'GUEST']">
<div>You can see this text congrats</div>
</div>
<div *ngxPermissionsOnly="['THEN_BLOCK']; else elseBlock; then thenBlock">main</div>
<ng-template #elseBlock>
<div>elseBlock</div>
</ng-template>
<ng-template #thenBlock>
<div>thenBlock</div>
</ng-template>
<div *ngxPermissionsExcept="['THEN_BLOCK']; else elseBlock; then thenBlock"></div>
<ng-template #elseBlock>
<div>elseBlock</div>
</ng-template>
<ng-template #thenBlock>
<div>thenBlock</div>
</ng-template>
Note: You cant use
*
style with other * style directives like*ngIf
. You should wrap them. And YES i don't like it either.
<div *ngxPermissionsOnly="['ADMIN', 'GUEST']">
<div *ngIf="true">
You can see this text congrats
</div>
</div>
π₯ Important
Using with except and onlytogether
should usengxPermissionsElse
orngxPermissionsThen
<ng-template [ngxPermissionsExcept]="'FAIL_BLOCK'"
[ngxPermissionsOnly]="'ONLY_BLOCK'"
[ngxPermissionsElse]="elseBlock"
[ngxPermissionsThen]="thenBlock">
</ng-template>
<ng-template #elseBlock>
<div>elseBlock</div>
</ng-template>
<ng-template #thenBlock>
<div>thenBlock</div>
</ng-template>
- Introduction
- Property only and except
- Single permission/role
- Multiple permissions/roles
- Dynamic access
- Property redirectTo
- Single rule redirection
- Multiple rule redirection
- Dynamic redirection rules
- Implemented Guards
- Can Activate Guard
- Can Load Guard
- Can Activate Child Guard
- Common use cases
- Two guards when first make request for authorisation and gets permissions second checks for permissions
Now you are ready to start working with controlling access to the states of your application. In order to restrict any state ngx-permission rely on angular-route's data
property, reserving key permissions
allowing to define authorization configuration.
Permissions object accepts following properties:
Property | Accepted value |
---|---|
only |
[String |Array |Function ] |
except |
[String |Array |Function ] |
redirectTo |
[String ] |
Property only
:
- is used to explicitly define permission or role that are allowed to access the state
- when used as
String
contains single permission or role - when used as
Array
contains set of permissions and/or roles
Property except
:
- is used to explicitly define permission or role that are denied to access the state
- when used as
String
contains single permission or role - when used as
Array
contains set of permissions and/or roles
π₯ Important
If you combine bothonly
andexcept
properties you have to make sure they are not excluding each other, because denied roles/permissions would not allow access the state for users even if allowed ones would pass them.
In simplest cases you allow users having single role permission to access the state. To achieve that you can pass as String
desired role/permission to only/except property:
You can use except
and only
at the same time;
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { HomeComponent } from './home/home.component';
import { NgxPermissionsGuard } from 'ngx-permissions';
const appRoutes: Routes = [
{ path: 'home',
component: HomeComponent,
canActivate: [NgxPermissionsGuard],
data: {
permissions: {
only: 'ADMIN'
}
}
},
];
@NgModule({
imports: [
RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes)
],
exports: [
RouterModule
]
})
export class AppRoutingModule {}
In given case when user is trying to access home
state NgxPermissionsGuard
service is called checking if isAuthorized
permission is valid:
- if permission definition is not found it stops transition
Often several permissions/roles are sufficient to allow/deny user to access the state. Then array value comes in handy:
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { HomeComponent } from './home/home.component';
import { NgxPermissionsGuard } from 'ngx-permissions';
const appRoutes: Routes = [
{ path: 'home',
component: HomeComponent,
canActivate: [NgxPermissionsGuard],
data: {
permissions: {
only: ['ADMIN', 'MODERATOR'],
except: ['GUEST']
}
}
},
];
@NgModule({
imports: [
RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes)
],
exports: [
RouterModule
]
})
export class AppRoutingModule {}
When NgxPermissionsGuard
service will be called it would expect user to have either ADMIN
or MODERATOR
permissions to pass him to home
route.
You can find states that would require to verify access dynamically - often depending on parameters.
Let's imagine situation where user want to modify the invoice. We need to check every time if he is allowed to do that on state level. We are gonna use ActivatedRouteSnapshot
and RouterStateSnapshot
object to check weather he is able to do that.
To make AOT compatible you should export function. Below is presented code AOT Compatible
AOT compatible
export function testPermissions(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot) {
if (route.params['id'] === 42) {
return ['MANAGER', "UTILS"]
} else {
return 'ADMIN'
}
}
const appRoutes: Routes = [
{ path: 'dynamic/:id',
component: HomeComponent,
canActivate: [NgxPermissionsGuard],
data: {
permissions: {
only: testPermissions
}
}
}
];
π Warning
The code below is not AOT compatible
const appRoutes: Routes = [
{ path: 'dynamic/:id',
component: HomeComponent,
canActivate: [NgxPermissionsGuard],
data: {
permissions: {
only: (route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot) => {
if (route.params['id'] === 42) {
return ['MANAGER', "UTILS"]
} else {
return 'ADMIN'
}
}
}
}
}
];
So whenever we try access state with param id = 42
set to true additional check for permission manager and utils
will be made. Otherwise only ADMIN
will be required.
π₯ Important
Notice that function must always return array or string of roles/permissions in order to work properly.
Property redirectTo:
- when used as
String
defines single redirection rule - when used as
Objects
defines single/multiple redirection rules - when used as
Function
defines dynamic redirection rule(s)
In case you want to redirect to a specific state when the user is not authorized, set redirectTo
path to that route.
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { HomeComponent } from './home/home.component';
import { NgxPermissionsGuard } from 'ngx-permissions';
const appRoutes: Routes = [
{ path: 'home',
component: HomeComponent,
canActivate: [NgxPermissionsGuard],
data: {
permissions: {
only: ['ADMIN', 'MODERATOR'],
redirectTo: '/another-route'
}
}
},
];
@NgModule({
imports: [
RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes)
],
exports: [
RouterModule
]
})
export class AppRoutingModule {}
In order to pass additional properties like params, set redirectTo
to an object.
navigationCommands
and navigationExtras
are reserved words it corresponds to parameters passed to router.navigate function
navigate(commands: any[], extras: NavigationExtras): Promise<boolean>
const appRoutes: Routes = [
{ path: 'home',
component: HomeComponent,
canActivate: [NgxPermissionsGuard],
data: {
permissions: {
only: ['ADMIN', 'MODERATOR'],
redirectTo: {
navigationCommands: ['123'],
navigationExtras: {
skipLocationChange: true
}
}
}
},
];
@NgModule({
imports: [
RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes)
],
exports: [
RouterModule
]
})
In case you want to redirect the user based on denied
permission/role to create redirection strategies. In order to do that you have to create redirection Object
that contain keys representing rejected permissions or roles and values implementing redirection rules.
Redirection rules are represented by following values:
Value type | Return | Usage |
---|---|---|
String |
[String ] |
Simple state transitions |
Object |
[Object ] |
Redirection with custom parameters or options |
Function |
[String |Object ] |
Dynamic properties-based redirection |
π‘ Note
Use default property that will handle fallback redirect for not defined permissions.
The simplest example of multiple redirection rules are redirection based on pairs role/permission and state. When user is not granted to access the state will be redirected to agendaList
if missing canReadAgenda
permission or to dashboard
when missing canEditAgenda
. Property default
is reserved for cases when you want handle specific cases leaving default redirection.
const appRoutes: Routes = [
{ path: 'home',
component: HomeComponent,
canActivate: [NgxPermissionsGuard],
data: {
permissions: {
only: ['canReadAgenda','canEditAgenda'],
redirectTo: {
canReadAgenda: 'agendaList',
canEditAgenda: 'dashboard',
default: 'login'
}
}
}
},
];
@NgModule({
imports: [
RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes)
],
exports: [
RouterModule
]
})
If you need more control over redirection parameters Object
as a value can be used to customise target url navigationCommands
and transition navigationExtras
.
π‘ Note
navigationCommands
andnavigationExtras
are reserved words it corresponds to parameters passed to router.navigate functionnavigate(commands: any[], extras: NavigationExtras): Promise<boolean>
const appRoutes: Routes = [
{ path: 'home',
component: HomeComponent,
canActivate: [NgxPermissionsGuard],
data: {
permissions: {
only: ['canEditAgenda'],
redirectTo:
canEditAgenda: {
navigationCommands: 'dashboard',
navigationExtras: {
skipLocationChange: true
}
},
default: 'login'
}
}
}
},
];
@NgModule({
imports: [
RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes)
],
exports: [
RouterModule
]
})
To present usage redirectTo
as Object
with values as Function
in a state definition agenda
presented below redirection rules are interpreted as:
- when user does not have
canReadAgenda
invoked function returns string representing the state name to which unauthorized user will be redirected - when user does not have
canEditAgenda
invoked function returns object with custom options and params that will be passed along to transiteddashboard
url
const appRoutes: Routes = [
{ path: 'home',
component: HomeComponent,
canActivate: [NgxPermissionsGuard],
data: {
permissions: {
only: ['canReadAgenda','canEditAgenda'],
redirectTo: {
canReadAgenda: (rejectedPermissionName: string, activateRouteSnapshot: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, routeStateSnapshot: RouterStateSnapshot) => {
return 'dashboard';
},
canEditAgenda: (rejectedPermissionName: string, activateRouteSnapshot: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, routeStateSnapshot: RouterStateSnapshot) => {
return {
navigationCommands: ['/dashboard'],
navigationExtras: {
skipLocationChange: true
}
}
},
default: 'login'
}
}
}
},
];
@NgModule({
imports: [
RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes)
],
exports: [
RouterModule
]
})
π₯ Important
Above code is not AOT compatible to make it AOT compatible extract it to functionnavigationCommands
andnavigationExtras
reserved words. Matching parameter to router.navigate function
export function canReadAgenda(rejectedPermissionName: string, activateRouteSnapshot: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, routeStateSnapshot: RouterStateSnapshot) => {
return 'dashboard';
},
redirectTo: {
canReadAgenda: canReadAgenda
}
Similarly to examples showing defining dynamic access to state redirection can also be defined based on any parameters of ActivatedRouteSnapshot
and RouterStateSnapshot
;
π‘ Note
Remember to always return state name or object.
const appRoutes: Routes = [
{ path: 'home/:isEditable',
component: HomeComponent,
canActivate: [NgxPermissionsGuard],
data: {
permissions: {
only: ['canReadAgenda','canEditAgenda'],
redirectTo: (rejectedPermissionName: string, activateRouteSnapshot: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, routerStateSnapshot: RouterStateSnapshot) => {
if(activateRouteSnapshot.params['id'] === 42){
return 'login';
} else {
return 'dashboard'
}
}
}
},
];
@NgModule({
imports: [
RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes)
],
exports: [
RouterModule
]
})
π₯ Important
The code above is not AOT compatible. To make it AOT compatible extract it to a function
export function redirectToFunc(rejectedPermissionName: string, activateRouteSnapshot: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, routerStateSnapshot: RouterStateSnapshot) => {
if(activateRouteSnapshot.params['id'] === 42){
return 'login';
} else {
return 'dashboard'
}
}
redirectTo: redirectToFunc
NgxPermissionsGuard implements CanActivate interface, see examples above.
NgxPermissionsGuard implements CanLoad Interface. Functionality is the same as canActivate
const appRoutes: Routes = [
{
path: 'lazy',
data: {
permissions: {
except: 'ADDDMIN',
}
},
canLoad: [NgxPermissionsGuard],
loadChildren: 'app/lazy-module/lazy-module.module#LazyModule'
},
];
@NgModule({
imports: [
RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes)
],
exports: [
RouterModule
],
providers: [
// CanDeactivateGuard
]
})
export class AppRoutingModule {}
π₯ Warning
- The only difference if you use as a function the parameter is only 1 and its type of Route
{
path: 'lazy',
data: {
permissions: {
only: (route: Route) => {
//logic here
return ['MANAGER', "UTILS"]
}
}
},
canLoad: [NgxPermissionsGuard],
loadChildren: 'app/lazy-module/lazy-module.module#LazyModule'
},
NgxPermissionsGuard
implements CanLoad Interface. Functionality is the same as canActivate
π₯ Warning
- Rules and data must be specified on Child Components not on parent component
const appRoutes: Routes = [
{ path: '',
component: IsolateComponent,
canActivateChild: [NgxPermissionsGuard],
children: [
{
path: 'except-should',
component: AnotherComponent,
data: {
permissions: {
except: 'ADMIN'
}
}
},
{
path: 'only-should',
component: ComeComponent,
data: {
permissions: {
only: 'GUEST'
}
}
},
]
},
];
Two guards when first make request for authorization and gets permissions second checks for permissions
This method only works with angular 4.3.2
or higher see angular/angular#15670
There are a lot of times you have 2 guard one for authorisation when it makes request for permissions and second is permissions guard and you want them to work in chain. To make them work in chain You should use them in a following way:
let routes = [
{ path: '',
canActivate: [AuthGuard],
children: [
{path: 'component',
component: ComponentName,
canActivate: [NgxPermissionsGuard],
data: {
permissions: {
only: ['ADMIN', 'MODERATOR'],
redirectTo: 'another-route'
}
}}
]
}
]
Note: Make sure the permission request in chained in auth guard
canActivate() {
return authLogin().then((obj) => {
// or load here if you dont need second request
// this.permissions.service.loadPermissions(obj.permissions)
return this.authPermissions.getPermissions('url');
}).then((permissions) => {
this.permissions.service.loadPermissions(permissions)
)
}
