Angular’s route guards are interfaces which can tell the router whether or not it should allow navigation to a requested route. They make this decision by looking for a true or false return value from a class which implements the given guard interface.

There are five different types of guards and each of them is called in a particular sequence. The router’s behavior is modified differently depending on which guard is used. The guards are:

CanActivate, CanActivateChild, CanDeactivate, CanLoad, Resolve
