url-changed
URL change detection for when Navigation API is not supported.
Install
npm install url-changed
Usage
import { urlChanged } from 'url-changed';
const settings = {
// see below
};
const stopWatching = urlChanged(
(newUrl, oldUrl) => console.log(`${oldUrl} -> ${newUrl}`),
settings
);Settings
If the Navigation API is available, it is used exclusively for URL change detection. Otherwise one or more fallbacks are used to achieve a similar effect.
The 2nd parameter to urlChanged specifies which fallbacks to enable. All fallbacks are disabled by default but at least one fallback must be enabled.
Body mutation
Any time the <body>'s subtree changes, check if the url has changed.
urlChanged(fn, {
bodyMutation: true
});hashchange
When hashchange event fires on window, check if the url has changed.
urlChanged(fn, {
hashchange: true
});popstate
When popstate event fires on window, check if the url has changed.
urlChanged(fn, {
popstate: true
});Polling
Every x milliseconds, check if the url has changed. This is relatively brute force.
urlChanged(fn, {
// milliseconds, must be > 0
poll: 100
});Ignore Navigation API
Use fallbacks regardless of Navigation API existence. Use this to test fallback behavior.
urlChanged(fn, {
forceFallbacks: true,
// Must enable at least one fallback
bodyMutation: true
