import Vue from 'vue'
import VueRouter from 'vue-router'

import store from 'rockt-vuejs-keycloak'

import security from 'rockt-vuejs-keycloak/security'

Vue.use(VueRouter)

function load (component) {
  // '@' is aliased to src/components
  return () => import(`@/${component}.vue`)
}

const routes = [
  {
    path: '/',
    component: load('Layout'),
    meta: { requiresAuth: true, roles: ['user'] },
    children: [
      { path: '', name: 'home', component: load('Home'), meta: { requiresAuth: true, roles: ['user'] } }      
    ]
  },  
  { path: '*', component: load('Error404') }, // Not found
  { path: '/unauthorized', name: 'Unauthorized', component: load('Unauthorized') } // Unauthorized
]

const router = new VueRouter({
  /*
   * NOTE! VueRouter "history" mode DOESN'T works for Cordova builds,
   * it is only to be used only for websites.
   *
   * If you decide to go with "history" mode, please also open /config/index.js
   * and set "build.publicPath" to something other than an empty string.
   * Example: '/' instead of current ''
   *
   * If switching back to default "hash" mode, don't forget to set the
   * build publicPath back to '' so Cordova builds work again.
   */
  mode: 'history',
  scrollBehavior: () => ({ y: 0 }),
  routes
})

router.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
  if (to.meta.requiresAuth) {
    const auth = store.state.security.auth
    if (!auth.authenticated) {
      security.init(next, to.meta.roles)
    }
    else {

        else {
          next({ name: 'unauthorized' })
        }
      }
