How to capture the close event of popup window in JavaScript?
To capture the close event of popup window in JavaScript, we can watch for the window to close with a timer.
For instance, we write
const win = window.open("https://www.example.com");
const timer = setInterval(() => {
if (win.closed) {
clearInterval(timer);
console.log("closed");
}
}, 1000);
to call window.open to open a popup with the URL.
Then we call setInterval with a callback that checks if the popup is closed with win.closed every second.
If it’s true, then we call clearInterval with timer to stop the setInterval timer.
Conclusion
