Cross-Platform Dynamic and Static Library Generation with CMake

On Windows, function symbols are not exported by default from dynamic libraries. You must explicitly annotate the functions: Use __declspec(dllexport) for functions to be exported when building the library. Use __declspec(dllimport) for functions to be imported when consuming the library. A common approach is to use a macro that switches betw ...

Implementing Route Guards and Navigation Interception in UniApp

While UniApp does not provide a built-in navigation guard system like Vue Router, you can simulate this behavior by wrapping the native navigation APIs. By intercepting calls to uni.navigateTo, uni.switchTab, and other methods, you can inject custom logic such as authentication checks or logging before a page transition occurs. Step 1: Creating ...
