I try to call the confirm before my component is unloaded, but it doesn't work.
I call confirmation by click, and in the case when I receive a false, the routing still occurs.
Probably, am I missing something?
import { Component, OnInit, OnDestroy, HostListener } from '@angular/core';
Component({
templateUrl: 'some-component.html',
styleUrls: ['./some-component.scss']
})
export class SomeComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
public ifAllowed: boolean = false
@HostListener('window:beforeunload')
onBeforeUnload(event) {
this.checkValue()
}
ngOnDestroy() {
this.checkValue()
}
checkValue() {
if(!ifAllowed) {
let isContinue = confirm('Any unsaved data will be lost. Сontinue?')
if (!isContinue) {
return false // not working
}
}
}
}
If someone comes in handy, a solution is found.
For beforeunload:
@HostListener('window:beforeunload', ['$event'])
onbeforeunload(event) {
if (!ifAllowed) {
event.preventDefault();
event.returnValue = false;
}
}
When checking for component changes: create a guard
import {Injectable} from '@angular/core';
import {CanDeactivate} from '@angular/router';
@Injectable()
export class ConfirmationGuard implements CanDeactivate<any> {
constructor() {}
canDeactivate(component: any): boolean {
if (component.ifAllowed) {
return confirm('Are you sure?');
}
return true;
}
}
Do not forget to register a guard in providers:
providers: [
ConfirmationGuard
]
and in the routing module for the necessary path add canDeactivate method:
canDeactivate: [ConfirmationGuard]
