Add a guard that is executed before redirect

[guizoxxv]

I recently strugled to execute async code before a redirect as you can see in this discussion. I was able to achieve this redirecting inside the beforeEnter instead of in the redirect attribute.

Althought it works, this approach still requires a component atrribute even thought I'm always redirecting. It would be interesting to have a guard that is executed before the redirect (beforeRedirect or a more generic name). I believe it would make the code more intuitive instead of setting a component just to fill the attribute.

Thanks.

If you need to execute async code before redirecting, that's a navigation guard. There is already plenty of ways to add them.

If you are sure your beforeEnter() will always redirect, then it's fine to set a placeholder component or to add a @ts-expect-error on top of component: null
