Vue Route Guard Trigger

Introduction

Vue Router navigation guards are a very convenient place to define authorization rules. However, they are checked only when the current route changes, but the state of your application can change even when the route doesn't.

This plugin allows you to re-trigger the navigation guards on demand in order to make sure that the user is still authorized to access the current resource.

Getting started

Installation

You can add the plugin as dependency by running the following npm command.

npm install --save vue-route-guard-trigger

You can also use Yarn to accomplish the same thing.

yarn add vue-route-guard-trigger

Importing into the project

The following snippet demonstrates how to import and install the plugin before use.

import VueRouteGuardTrigger from 'vue-route-guard-trigger';

Vue.use(VueRouteGuardTrigger);
