Angular functional guard to check on the user role to guard your routes

functional guard to check on the user role  to guard your routes. 


The functional guard accepts a param for the user role 


Less verbose than a class based guard



    use canMatch to skip a route dynamically in combination with functional guards. 

  👍 Super handy when a path should lead to different comp depending on some logic 

  👋 canLoad is going to be deprecated in favor of canMatch

Directive composition API in Angular 15

our directive stand alone by adding standalone property inside directive declaration 

import { Directive } from '@angular/core';

@Directive({
  selector: '[appRedColor]',
  host:{'style': 'color:red;'},
  standalone: true
})
export class RedColorDirective {

  constructor() { }

}

Now the text inside testdirective component will be displayed in red color.

<app-testdirective></app-testdirective>

And our code looks simple without adding an extra directive in component tag.

We can add more than one directive inside hostDirectives property.


@Component({
  selector: 'app-testdirective',
  templateUrl: './testdirective.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./testdirective.component.scss'],
  hostDirectives:[RedColorDirective,HeightDirective,FontStyleDirective,......]
})
export class TestdirectiveComponent {
}

We can add hostDirectives inside an another directive as well.
