How to Redirect to a certain route based on condition in Angular 2.

I am creating one angular2-meteor app. 

export const routes: Route[] = [{
    path: '',
    redirectTo: "login",
    pathMatch: "full"
}, 
{
    path: 'login',
    component: LoginComponent
}, 
{
    path: 'csvtemplate',
    component: TemplateComponent,
    canActivate: ['canActivateForLoggedIn'],
    children: [{
        path: '',
        redirectTo: 'dashboard' <----how to add condition for multiple path
    }, 
    {
        path:'dashboard',
        component: DashboardComponent
    },
    {
        path: 'csvtimeline/:month/:year',
        component: CsvTimelineComponent
    }, {
        path: 'csvjson',
        component: CsvJsonComponent
    }]
}];

When i login to my app using LoginComponent it will go to TemplateComponent which have three child components

Now i have by default set redirectTo to my dashboard component. but in place of this redirect i want to redirect to csvjson component or csvtimeline component based on login user profile.

Suppose

If Login User is "Admin" he should be redirectTo - > dashboard Component

If Login User is "Guest" then he should be redirectTo - > csvjson component

i know we can do this in ngOnInit() of dashboard component for redirect.

if (this.user && this.user.profile.role == 'Guest') {
             this._router.navigate(['csvtemplate/csvjson']);
        }

but i am looking for better option so i don't have to open dashboard component each time and it will directly go to csvjson component.

Angular now recommands to use functional guards and flagged CanActivate as deprecated. Considering this, an easy way to answer the question is to do the following :

const rootGuard = () => {
  const router = inject(Router)
  if (inject(AuthServiceService).isAuthenticated()) {
    router.navigate(['welcome']); // Default URL when logged
  } else {
    router.navigate(['login']); // Default URL when not logged
  }
}

const appRoutes: Routes = [
  {
    path: '', component: AppComponent, canActivate: [rootGuard] // Any component would do
    // More path
  }
];

You could also use resolvers combined with an "dummy" component:

const SwitchResolver: ResolveFn<any> =
  (route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot) => {
    const user = inject(UserService).getUser();
    const router = inject(Router);
    if (user && user.profile.role == 'Guest') {
      router.navigate(['csvtemplate/csvjson']);
    }

    return of(null);
  };

@Directive()
class EmptyComponent {
}

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: '',
    resolve: { switch: SwitchResolver },
    component: EmptyComponent
  },
  ...
}

@Rip3rs jwt tokens are used for that only. you can logout your user if change is made in role from "user" to "admin"

Here is the better solution: Guard the admin feature according to Angular guide.
Using CanActivate hook Steps:

1) Add auth-guard.service.ts file

import { Injectable }     from '@angular/core';
import { CanActivate }    from '@angular/router';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';

@Injectable()
export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate {
    canActivate() {
        //Your redirect logic/condition. I use this.

        if (this.user && this.user.profile.role == 'Guest') {
         this.router.navigate(['dashboard']);
        }
        console.log('AuthGuard#canActivate called');
        return true;
    }
    //Constructor 
    constructor(private router: Router) { }
}

2) Update the routing file, in my case it's app.module.ts

import { AuthGuard } from './auth-guard.service';
import { AdminComponent } from './admin/admin.component';
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    AdminComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    FormsModule,
    HttpModule,

    RouterModule.forRoot([
        {
          path: 'admin',
          component: AdminComponent,
          canActivate:[AuthGuard]
        },
        {
        path: '',
        redirectTo: '/dashboard',
        pathMatch: 'full'
       }
    ])
  ],
  providers: [AuthGuard],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

In routing module, u need to create local variable "route",check condition and assign requires routing path the variable and assign variable to redirectTo in routing

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';

var route: string = "user";
const role = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("currentUser")).roleId;

if (role == "1") {
//superadmin role
 route = "project"
} else {
  //normal user role
  route = "user"
}
const adminRoutes: Routes = [ {
path: '',
component: AdminComponent,
canActivate: [AuthGuard],
children: [

  { path: '', redirectTo: route },
  {
    path: 'project',
    loadChildren: './project-dashboard/project-dashboard.module#ProjectModule'
  }, {
    path: 'user',
    loadChildren: './user/user.module#UserModule',
  }
