Intercept/handle browser’s back button in React-router?

by

This is a bit old question and you’ve probably already got your answer, but for people like me who needed this, I’m leaving this answer.

Using react-router made the job simple as such:

import { browserHistory } from 'react-router';

componentDidMount() {
    super.componentDidMount();

    this.onScrollNearBottom(this.scrollToLoad);

    this.backListener = browserHistory.listen(location => {
      if (location.action === "POP") {
        // Do your stuff
      }
    });
  }

componentWillUnmount() {
    super.componentWillUnmount();
    // Unbind listener
    this.backListener();
}
