I’m trying to change the URL in the address-bar using window.history.replaceState
in order to keep track of the state in the URL by just faking its content, but iron-router is instead actually changing the route and not letting me just manage what the address bar looks like by my own.
Are there any hooks that iron-router is using that trigger when I call window.history.replaceState
in a template event?
For your reference, what I’m trying to do is to change the URL when a modal is opened, and go back to the previous URL when the modal is closed. I don’t want to actually go to the url because the view of a modal is different than the actual detail view, pretty much how Instagram works on web when you open a picture vs. when you open a picture by entering its URL.
Here’s the relevant code:
'click .open-modal': function(e, t) {
let modal = $('[data-remodal-id=modal-issue]').remodal()
modal.open();
window.history.replaceState({}, null, '/url/for/modal')
},
when I click the button and the modal is opened, iron-router is trying to actually go to /url/for/modal
instead of sitting back and let me fake the URLs by my own.
Any ideas on how to achieve this with Meteor + Iron Router?
