Angular 15: How to Dynamically Load a Module with Route Guards and Handle Errors Correctly?
I'm currently working on an Angular 15 application where I need to dynamically load a feature module based on user roles. I've set up route guards to control access, but I'm running into issues when the user doesn't have permission to access the module. Instead of redirecting them, I'm getting an error that says 'Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'canActivate')'. I've implemented the following code in my routing module: ```typescript const routes: Routes = [ { path: 'feature', loadChildren: () => import('./feature/feature.module').then(m => m.FeatureModule), canActivate: [RoleGuard] }, { path: '**', redirectTo: 'home' } ]; ``` In my `RoleGuard`, I'm trying to check the user's roles like this: ```typescript @Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' }) export class RoleGuard implements CanActivate { constructor(private authService: AuthService, private router: Router) {} canActivate(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot): boolean { const userRole = this.authService.getUserRole(); if (userRole === 'admin') { return true; } else { this.router.navigate(['/access-denied']); return false; } } } ``` I've confirmed that `getUserRole()` is returning the correct value. When the user role does not match, the navigation to '/access-denied' is not happening as expected, and it seems like the route guard isn't being called at all. I've tried using `console.log()` statements in the guard but they never appear in the console when accessing `/feature`. I'm also using Angular CLI version 15.2.0 and running my application with `ng serve`. Any insights on why the guard isn’t triggering and how to properly handle navigation errors would be greatly appreciated!
