Package Exports

  • react-router-last-location-17
  • react-router-last-location-17/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (react-router-last-location-17) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Note: Last location != Previous browser history state

This library only returns the location that was active right before the recent location change, during the lifetime of the current window.

This means, it is not equal to the "location you were at before navigating to this history state".

In other words, the location this library provides is not necessarily the same as the one when you click the browser's back button.

Example 1

  1. Visit /: last location = null, previous browser history state = null
  2. Visit /a: last location = /, previous browser history state = /
  3. Visit /b: last location = /a, previous browser history state = /a
  4. Reload (url will stay at /b): last location = null, previous browser history state = /a

Example 2

  1. Visit /: last location = null
  2. Visit /a: last location = /
  3. Visit /b: last location = /a
  4. Go back: last location = /b, previous browser history state = /

Example 3

  1. Visit /: last location = null
  2. Visit /a: last location = /
  3. Visit /b: last location = /a
  4. Visit /c: last location = /b
  5. Go back to /a (by selecting that state explicitly in "Go back" browser dropdown that is visible upon clicking it with right mouse button): last location = /c, previous browser history state = /
