Error: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: guard is not a function

Question

I am writing an Authguard in Angular 4 to prevent accessing routes without login. However, I am getting this error. Below is the code from Authgaurd and Routing in App module. Please help resolve the issue.

//Authgaurd Code

import { ActivatedRouteSnapshot, CanActivate, Route, Router, 
RouterStateSnapshot } from '@angular/router';
import { Store } from '';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import { map, take } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { Observer } from 'rxjs';
import { Globals } from '../../app.global';
import { CRMStorageService } from '../services/storage.service';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/take';

@Injectable()
export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate {

constructor(private router: Router,private storageService: StorageService) { 
 }

canActivate(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot): 
Observable<boolean> {
return this.storageService.getItem(Globals._CURRENT_USER_KEY).take(1).map 
(token => {
    if (token) {
        return true;
    } else {
        this.router.navigate(['/login']);
    }
  });
}
}

//Routes in App module

const appRoutes: Routes = [
{ path:'',redirectTo:'/login', pathMatch: 'full' },
{ path:'login', component: LoginComponent },
{ path:'reset/:token', component: ResetpasswordComponent },
{
path: '',
canActivateChild: [AuthGuard],
children: [
{ path:'dashboard', component: DashboardComponent },
{ path:'customerlist', component: CustomerlistComponent }
]
},
{ path: '**', component: ErrorComponent }
];

@NgModule({
imports: [
        RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes,
        {
         enableTracing: false // <-- debugging purposes only
        })],
 declarations: [
  AppComponent,
 .
 .
],
providers: [AuthGuard],
exports: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]})

export class AppModule { }

You must have to implement both the CanActivate and CanAcitvateChild interface on the AuthGuard in order to use it on canActivateChild

export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate, CanActivateChild {
  ...
  canActivateChild(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot):  boolean {
      return this.canActivate(route, state);
 }
}
