Property decorator that configures a view query
View queries are set before the ngAfterViewInit callback is called.

import { Component, OnInit,AfterViewInit,  viewChild } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-example',
  templateUrl: './example.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./example.component.css']
})
export class ExampleComponent implements OnInit, AfterViewInit {

  constructor() { }
  @ViewChild('addBtn') addBtn:ElementRef;
  ngOnInit(): void {
  }
   ngAfterViewInit() {
    // child is set
    console.log(this.addBtn.nativeElement)
  }

}

<button #addBtn>add</button>

@viewchildren

@viewchildren decorator returns the list of different native DOM elements through og QueryList
@ViewChild() in a component can communicate with another component or a directive.
But if we want to access multiple child references, then we have to use @ViewChildren.

import {AfterViewInit, ElementRef, viewChildren,QueryList} from '@angular/core'
export class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit {
// Accessing multiple native DOM elements using QueryList
  @ViewChildren(HelloComponent) myValue: QueryList<HelloComponent>;
  ngAfterViewInit() {
     console.log("Hello ", this.myValue.toArray(););
  }
}

<hello name="{{ name }}"></hello>

<hello name="{{ name }}"></hello>

<hello name="{{ name }}"></hello>

What are Route Guards?

Angular’s route guards are interfaces that can tell the router whether or not it should allow navigation to a requested route. They make this decision by looking for a true or false the return value from a class that implements the given guard interface.

There are five different types of guards and each of them is called in a particular sequence. The router’s behavior is modified differently depending on which guard is used. The guards are:
