API

By default, the mechanisms used are history.pushState and window.onpopstate, with older browsers falling back to location.hash and window.onhashchange. This behaviour can be overridden by passing the constructor an options object, detailed below.

var state = require('history-state')({
  // Use only location.hash/onhashchange…
  hash: true,
  // …or use only history.pushState/onpopstate.
  pushState: true
})

state.change('/some-path')

state.on('change', function() {
  console.log(location.pathname)
  > '/some-path'
})

// Toggle the window listeners.
state.stop()
state.start()
