JS how to continue event prevent default











up vote

I am trying to pop modal asking the user if he is sure about to leave the page,
while there changes that have not been commited yet.



Those changes are NOT done using a <form> element, but just some changes
that were made on a specific object.



I have tried to detect when he tries to leave the page with either the $routeChangeStart
and the $routeChangeSuccess like this:



$scope.$on('$routeChangeStart', function(event, current) {
event.preventDefault();
ConfirmationModal.fire("Do you sure?", response => {
if (response) {
// how to CONTINUE the prevent default??
}
});
}


The code above actually stop the propgregation and not let the user to leave
the page.



However - after confirmed the modal, I cannot find any way to continue the page moving.
I mean, I can prevent default but not continue default.



I have tried also to:



$location.path(PATH) but this just did not work.



Also - even when user re-click about leaving the page again - the event preventdefault is still
prevented.

          You could add a flag and a conditional:



          Something like



          $scope.allowChange = false;

          $scope.$on('$routeChangeStart', function(event, current) {
          // don't do anything when allowChange === true
          if (!$scope.allowChange) {
          event.preventDefault();
          ConfirmationModal.fire("Do you sure?", response => {
          if (response) {
          $scope.allowChange = true
          $location.path(...) // I forget prop to get new path from
          }
          });
          }

          })

          • Great that works - so the event prevent default will always remain active, until the closure IF of it is getting false? BTW, in next I have this: http://localhost:8080/#!/root/settings/permissions How to load the next view with this? should I parse only the path and extract it, or that is there anything else?

          • As I commented I forget which object has the next path in it. If I remember correctly without going to the docs there is also a next argument that has the new path in it. Is outlined in routing docs
