Props

onBeforeunload function to be called with BeforeUnloadEvent when beforeunload event is fired.

Example

class Example extends React.Component {
  state = { value: '' };

  render() {
    return (
      <>
        {this.state.value !== '' && (
          <Beforeunload onBeforeunload={(event) => event.preventDefault()} />
        )}
        <input
          onChange={(event) => this.setState({ value: event.target.value })}
          value={this.state.value}
        />
      </>
    );
  }
}

:information_source: The Beforeunload component will render any children passed as-is, so it can be used as a wrapper component:

<Beforeunload onBeforeunload={…}>
  <MyApp />
</Beforeunload>

Custom message support

To display a custom message in the triggered dialog box, return a string in the passed event handler function.

With useBeforeunload hook:

useBeforeunload(() => 'You’ll lose your data!');

With Beforeunload component:

<Beforeunload onBeforeunload={() => 'You’ll lose your data!'} />

:warning: Some browsers used to display the returned string in the confirmation dialog, enabling the event handler to display a custom message to the user. However, this is deprecated and no longer supported in most browsers.
