Liferay cancel navigation events with JavaScript/Senna.js
Liferay cancel navigation events with JavaScript/Senna.js
New Member Posts: 4 Join Date: 7/21/20 Recent PostsWe have a feature request to cancel navigation events when the user clicks on a Liferay link (e.g. to another liferay page)
In our research we’ve found the SPA Lifecycle events (https://help.liferay.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030709511-Available-SPA-Lifecycle-Events)
We’ve tried multiple approaches with beforeNavigate and beforeUnload but nothing prevented the navigation.
E.g.:
Liferay.SPA.app.on('beforeNavigate', (navigate) => {
navigate.event.stopImmediatePropagation();
navigate.event.stopPropagation();
navigate.event.preventDefault();
return false;
})
According to this ticket: https://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-68027
preventDefault should prevent the navigation. But it doesn’t work in our case.
Is there a specific way to cancel navigation events inside Liferay with JavaScript/Senna.js?
We are using Liferay 7.2 fixpack 13.
thanks for any advise :)
