Navigation guard - tell how a route was arrived at

[walfin]

Hi, does anyone know if there’s a way to distinguish in beforeRouteUpdate between a route which was arrived at through a router-link (or router.push) and a router.back (or hitting the android back button)?

does not seem possible with soly beforeRouteUpdate , but you could store a value in for example vuex before you execute: router.push, router.back, ect.

Then you’ll get something like this in the vuex:
state: { routeMethod: “router.push”} ,

@dobbel But that means I can’t just use the “to” attribute for list items, I have to manually create handlers for each menu item which calls this.$store.commit(…) and then this.$router.push(…), is that right?

@walfin

correct.
