<ul><li>Protected Routes in React Router v7 are used to restrict access to private pages, similar to a bouncer at a VIP area of a nightclub.</li><li>The AuthContext is set up using React's Context API to track user authentication status, loading state, user role, and login/logout functions.</li><li>A PrivateRoute component acts as a 'digital bouncer' by checking authentication status, displaying a loader during verification, and rendering protected content or redirecting to /login.</li><li>Private pages are grouped under <Route element={<PrivateRoute />}>, allowing easy encapsulation and control over access.</li><li>Lazy loading is implemented to improve performance, loading private pages only when requested by users.</li><li>For role-based access control, PrivateRoute can be extended with allowedRoles prop to restrict access based on user roles.</li><li>The approach centralizes authentication logic, provides clear analogies for understanding, improves performance with lazy loading, and offers flexibility for customizations.</li></ul>
