Angular 15: guide with Lazy Loading Module Routes and Navigation Guards Not Triggering
I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help. I'm working with a question with lazy-loaded modules in my Angular 15 application where my navigation guards are not being triggered when navigating to certain routes. I set up a lazy-loaded module for my 'Admin' section, but it seems like the route guards I've implemented are being skipped entirely. Here's my routing configuration: ```typescript const routes: Routes = [ { path: 'admin', loadChildren: () => import('./admin/admin.module').then(m => m.AdminModule) } ]; ``` In the `Admin` module, I have defined my routes as follows: ```typescript const adminRoutes: Routes = [ { path: '', component: AdminComponent, canActivate: [AuthGuard] }, { path: 'settings', component: SettingsComponent, canActivate: [AuthGuard] } ]; ``` The `AuthGuard` is supposed to check if the user is authenticated. However, when I try to navigate to `/admin` or `/admin/settings`, I simply get redirected to the login page without hitting any breakpoint in the guard. I have double-checked that the guard is correctly provided in the module: ```typescript @NgModule({ providers: [AuthGuard], imports: [RouterModule.forChild(adminRoutes)], declarations: [AdminComponent, SettingsComponent] }) export class AdminModule {} ``` I've confirmed that the guard is correctly returning true for authenticated users and false otherwise. I also verified that the routes are being lazy-loaded by checking the network tab in the browser and seeing the `admin.module.js` file being loaded upon navigation. As a last resort, I tried adding a console log at the start of the `canActivate` method, and it doesn't seem to get executed at all when navigating to the lazy-loaded routes. What could be the reason for the guards not being triggered? Are there configurations I might be missing related to lazy loading or route definitions that could cause this behavior? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Am I missing something obvious?
