I'm writing a single page application in Angular, specifically angular.dart, but I'm assuming this question still applies to AngularJS.
Take for example the following routes:
/login - Expects nobody to be logged in. If someone is authenticated but not registered, redirect to "register" route, if they are registered, redirect to the "home" route.
/register - Expects an authenticated user who hasn't finished the registration process. If not authenticated, redirect to login. If is authenticated, redirect to home.
/home - Expects an authenticated and registered user. If not authenticated, redirect to "login" route, if not registered, redirect to "register" route.
I've done quite a bit of searching but cannot find a built-in or idiomatic way to check to make sure that certain preconditions are met before loading the controller associated with a particular route, and to redirect appropriately when these preconditions are not met.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Angular.Dart and Angular.JS routing frameworks are very/fundamentally different. Angular.Dart is using a third party routing framework (https://github.com/dart-lang/route/tree/experimental_hierarchical) and only implements angular specific features like ng-view
and ways to bind routes to templates via ViewFactory
.
So your question really falls into the route_hierarchical
package domain. Currently you can veto users attempt to navigate away from a route, but I guess what you want the ability to veto user entering a route depending on if the user is logged in or not. Unfortunately this is not yet supported, but is planned.
What you could try in the meantime is creating a custom viewFactory wrapper.
class RecipesRouteInitializer implements RouteInitializer {
void init(Router router, ViewFactory view) {
router
..addRoute(
name: 'login',
path: '/login',
enter: authView(router, view('login.html'), NOT_AUTH))
..addRoute(
name: 'register',
path: '/register',
enter: authView(router, view('register.html'), AUTH_NO_REG))
..addRoute(
name: 'home',
path: '/home',
enter: authView(router, view('home.html'), AUTH_AND_REG));
}
authView(Router router, ngView, mode) {
return (RouteEvent e) {
if (mode == AUTH_AND_REG) {
if (!authService.isAuth) {
router.go('login', {});
return;
}
if (!authService.isReg) {
router.go('register', {});
return;
}
} else if (mode == AUTH_NO_REG) {
if (!authService.isAuth) {
router.go('login', {});
return;
}
if (authService.isReg) {
router.go('home', {});
return;
}
} else if (mode == NOT_AUTH) {
if (authService.isAuth) {
router.go('register', {});
return;
}
}
ngView(e);
};
}
}
DISCLAMER: this is just an idea... might totally not work.
Well, I made a thing in Dart which is close to one of the previous solutions which don't really work. The main point is that in the RouteEventHandler
, you need to call the RouteEventHandler
of the view.
..addRoute(
name: 'userAdd',
path: '/userAdd',
enter: checkAuthentication(router,view,'view/addUser.html'))
..addRoute(
name: 'login',
path: '/login',
enter: view('view/login.html'));
}
RouteEventHandler checkAuthentication(Router router,ViewFactory view, String location){
return (RouteEvent e) {
if(_authenticationService.isAuthenticated()){
view(location)(e);
}else{
router.go("login",{});
}
};
}
