  1. Interesting pattern as a first check, but since you’ll be making authenticated API requests to the backend to fetch data for these protected routes, which could fail if they’re not logged in or don’t have appropriate permissions, it seems redundant to also have a front-end middleware checking against the local VueX store. The redirects or error message display could be wrapped into an ApiClient class instead when the front-end gets an unauthorized error?

  2. Hello Dotun,
    Thanks for the a the blog, it was very insightful. Is there any way to apply middleware to all children routes instead of defining middleware to each route??

  3. Hello,

    Unfortunately, next code is not working:

    return middleware[0]({
    …context,
    next: middlewarePipeline(context, middleware, 1)
    })

    middleware[0] is not a function.

  4. How to pass more variable to middleware. Something like this

    meta: {
    middleware: [
    role(‘admin’)
    ]
    }

    And then I can check the user can enter or not a page via role
