[angular2] @CanActivate versus routerOnActivate

[michael corbridge]

I have built some basic authentication security into angular2 app using routes.  

From a login page I set a boolean in a class that is injected into the routed components. 

When the route changes, the routerOnActivate method in the routed component looks at that class for a isLoggedIn boolean that will route the user back to the login view if false.

It works <happy-sounds>great </happy-sounds>, but it seems a waste not to use the @CanActivate decorator.

Anyone out there know how to inject that login class into @CanActivate?

Michael,

so far is not possible, but there are workarounds. Check out this issue, it's pretty interesting (specially @brandonroberts comments).

thanks Eric - hopefully Brian Ford adds DI to @CanActivate
