I am trying to push a new state to browser history on my APP initialization but while pushing the state it also redirects the page which is not required.
Here is a demo working app.
https://angular-tet5fy.stackblitz.io/page2?fbclid=IwAR1zP_UTnCQxKMp8o3ZXf-n4NR3ftu_4JoulLqItaONa-_wSPJ_DT95OgRU
This is the code:
ngAfterViewInit() {
console.log('init called');
var x = document.referrer;
console.log('ref', x);
if (x) {
console.log('pushing state');
this.location.pushState({id:'page3'}, 'Page3', '/page3');
}
}
Expected behavior:
- Clicking on the link takes the user to page2.
- While page2 is initialized it should push state '/page3' to the browser history.
- When the user clicks the browser back now it should take to /page3 as it is was pushed to history in step2 above.
Current Behaviour:
- Clicking on the link, takes me to page2 but it automatically redirects to /page3 while pushing state.
- When clicked browser back, it takes me back to /page2.
ngAfterViewInit() {
console.log('init called');
var x = document.referrer;
console.log('ref', x);
if (x) {
console.log('pushing state');
let locat = location.href;
history.replaceState({id:'page3'},'Page3','/page3');
history.pushState(null,null,locat);
}
}
What we do here it's change the url to the url you want to be the back with history.replaceState({id:'page3'},'Page3','/page3');
and then make a new entry in the history with history.pushState(null, null,locat);
witht he first url.
I answered you this question already in two different posts with only a little variation:
Angular platformLocation pushState not working
Angular: take user to home on clicking browser back button
Live example fork:

Expected behavior:
1. Clicking on the link takes the user to page2.
2. While page2 is initialized it should push state '/page3' to the browser history.
3. When the user clicks the browser back now it should take to /page3 as it is was pushed to history in step2 above.
Because what you did, your history state goes: p1 -> p2 -> p3. That's in your description! You want it like this:
- Clicking on the link first push state p3
- Then take user to p2, and don't push state when initialized
- Browser back now works as expected
Edit:
This is how you can implement it. In page2.component.ts
.
ngOnInit() {
history.replaceState({ data: 'at page 3' }, 'Page3', '/page3');
history.pushState({ data: 'at page 2' }, 'Page2', '/page2');
}
But again, read the doc.
