Navigation Guards

• Navigating between same route with different params → See router-beforeenter-no-param-trigger
• Accessing component instance in beforeRouteEnter guard → See router-beforerouteenter-no-this
• Navigation guard making API calls without awaiting → See router-guard-async-await-pattern
• Users trapped in infinite redirect loops → See router-navigation-guard-infinite-loop
• Navigation guard using deprecated next() function → See router-navigation-guard-next-deprecated

Route Lifecycle

• Stale data when navigating between same route → See router-param-change-no-lifecycle
• Event listeners persisting after component unmounts → See router-simple-routing-cleanup
