CanActivateOr interface

🚀 feature request

Relevant Package

This feature request is for @angular/router

Description

The current implementation of CanActivate interface is:

If all guards return true, navigation will continue.

Describe the solution you’d like

It would be useful to exist a CanActivateOr interface that will evaluate the following:

If some guards return true, navigation will continue.

Example

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'pathA',
    component: ComponentA,
    resolve: {
      data: ResolverA
    },
    CanActivateOr: [Guard1, Guard2] // If Guard1 OR Guard2 returns true then continue
  }
];

“and” is what the framework already does, but I agree that I’d KISS this and compose the guards instead.

It seems to me a better solution to write a new guard that composes your guards A and B, ORing their results, rather than lifting “or” to the framework. Should the framework later do the same for “and”?
