Overview

Promps user to confirm navigation. A replacement component for the react-router <Prompt/> (this still uses react-router to work). Allows for more flexible dialogs.

Note: Currently tested using only react-router's BrowserHistory. HashHistory has issues: https://github.com/ZacharyRSmith/react-router-navigation-prompt/issues/36

Note: Navigation away from your site, reload, or closing tab/window will also prompt navigation confirmation when <NavigationPrompt/>'s props.when is truthy. Usually, browsers handle this navigation UX themselves, leading to vanilla alert boxes. Also, many browsers require users to interact with your site before confirming navigation away.

Motivation: https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/issues/4635

Adapted from: https://gist.github.com/bummzack/a586533607ece482475e0c211790dd50

Demo

A visual example of <Prompt /> vs the package in action:

Example Usage

Simplest example:

import NavigationPrompt from "react-router-navigation-prompt";

import ConfirmNavigationModal from "./your-own-code";

<NavigationPrompt when={this.state.shouldConfirmNavigation}>
  {({ onConfirm, onCancel }) => (
    <ConfirmNavigationModal
      when={true}
      onCancel={onCancel}
      onConfirm={onConfirm}
    />
  )}
</NavigationPrompt>;

Complex example:

import NavigationPrompt from "react-router-navigation-prompt";

import Modal from "./your-own-code";

<NavigationPrompt
  beforeConfirm={(clb)=>this.cleanup(clb)} //call the callback function when finished cleaning up
  // Children will be rendered even if props.when is falsey and isActive is false:
  renderIfNotActive={true}
  // Confirm navigation if going to a path that does not start with current path:
  when={(crntLocation, nextLocation) =>
    !nextLocation || !nextLocation.pathname.startsWith(crntLocation.pathname)
  }
>
  {({ isActive, onCancel, onConfirm }) => {
    if (isActive) {
      return (
        <Modal show={true}>
          <div>
            <p>Do you really want to leave?</p>
            <button onClick={onCancel}>Cancel</button>
            <button onClick={onConfirm}>Ok</button>
          </div>
        </Modal>
      );
    }
    return <div>This is probably an anti-pattern but ya know...</div>;
  }}
</NavigationPrompt>;
