so I want my app that when I close the tab is to clear the localStorage, so I tried this:
window.addEventListener('beforeunload', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
this.localStorage.clear()
e.returnValue = '';
});
But the problem is it also runs when I refresh the page so the items on my localStorage gets cleared even on refresh and now I have to re log in again, is there a function that only detects when I close the tab?
I don't think you can. There is very limited information about what goes on in a browser outside of your app. Many of these functionalities are available through particular APIs instead of being directly exposed.
I suggest using session storage as this is its default behaviour and intended use.
This remind me that you can only know that a 'POP' action was dispatched when a user clicks the back or forward buttons. You cannot know which one of them was pressed though.
If I start writing post in Facebook and then either close or refresh page, Facebook somehow recognizes each of these actions (Reload site vs Leave site).
In javascript there's onbeforeunload event that gets called when webpage is about to unload, but how does Facebook manage to recognize if page unloads due to browser close or browser refresh function? Event doesn't contain that information afaik.
window.addEventListener('beforeunload', function(e) {
// this is browser refresh or close?
});
I want to implement logout functionality when user closes the tab. I am storing JWT tokens in my local storage which are needed to be cleared every time user closes the tab without clicking the 'Log out' button in my React.js application.
All over the internet, I find 'beforeunload' event being used, but I think it gets fired when we refresh the page or navigate to other page via clicking a link, which is not what I want.
Also, is there a way to find if user closed the tab or the window in JavaScript?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Try beforeunload event listner
window.addEventListener("beforeunload", function (e) {
//Log Out Call
}
But it will not work in all browsers.
I want to call a function to save my last access time to the server. I have a api to call for that. I can do that when I close the window in the legitimate way but on andriod chrome or IOS safari mobile. But I am not able to trigger it when the Home button is clicked.
My current code for calling the api is as follows.
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
//API call to store my last access time and session id
};
This function will be called on window close. But I want an event which will fire when I am on a tablet or a mobile and press the home key. This will take my webapp to the background but wont close it.
actually when you click the home button the app is still in process... It works same as how we minimize a window on a desktop.. the system is still in process only the status goes in sleep mode...
I want to prevent users from reloading the page each time to get updated dynamic content. So I have used this code:
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
return "Dont need to reload the whole page. Just reload the section";
}
It's working fine except when an user closes the browser's tab/window, the same message is showing also. But I want to show the message only for reloading/F5 button, not for closing the browser's tab/window. What event handler should I have to used for that purpose?
You can physically disable the f5 button, to get functionality similar to what you want:
