Detect Back Button in Navigation Guards of Vue-Router

by

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()
})
