How to detect when a user leaves a website with JavaScript?
To detect when a user leaves a website with JavaScript, we can add an event listener for the unload event.
For instance, we write:
window.onunload = () => {
console.log('unload')
};
to set window.onunload
to a function that runs when the page is being unloaded.
Therefore, when we leave the page, we’ll see 'unload'
logged.
