I have create a component with angular 7, which is a kind of full screen modal. The problem is that when you open this modal... on mobile devices you think that you change page... and you press the back button (mobile) to go back. So... you change page without reason. I want simply close the modal by pressing the back button. I manage to catch the back button event, but I can't prevent the default action of change the page



@HostListener('window:popstate', ['$event'])
onPopState(event) {
console.log('Back button pressed');
// 1) Code to close my custon modal
// 2) Prevent redirect
}
