How the route is changed, matters for my case. So, I want to catch when the route is changed by a back button of browser or gsm.
This is what I have:
router.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
if ( /* IsItABackButton && */ from.meta.someLogica) {
next(false)
return ''
}
next()
})
Is there some built-in solutions that I can use instead of IsItABackButton
comment? Vue-router itself hasn't I guess but any workaround could also work here. Or would there be another way preferred to recognize it?
This is the only way that I've found:
We can listen for popstate, save it in a variable, and then check that variable
// This listener will execute before router.beforeEach only if registered
// before vue-router is registered with Vue.use(VueRouter)
window.popStateDetected = false
window.addEventListener('popstate', () => {
window.popStateDetected = true
})
router.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
const IsItABackButton = window.popStateDetected
window.popStateDetected = false
if (IsItABackButton && from.meta.someLogica) {
next(false)
return ''
}
next()
})
