The back button in Angular that activates the previous route

I am encountering an issue with my Angular 14 application. Upon loading, a modal popup is displayed at the route:

http://localhost:4200/select-role

this.router.navigateByUrl(AppConstants.SCREEN_ROUTES.HOME).then(success => this.loaderService.hide()).catch(err => this.loaderService.hide());

The popup contains a list of roles and radio buttons for user selection before proceeding to the landing page at:

http://localhost:4200/home

This 'home' route remains constant due to the configuration set with skipLocation as false, making it the default route for 90% of the app. From the home page, there is a link (/steppers) that navigates to a steppers component within the same URL path http://localhost:4200/home. However, when using the browser back button from the stepper component, it returns to the initial modal popup route 

http://localhost:4200/select-role
.

How can I prevent this behavior so that clicking the browser back button from the stepper component directs the user back to the home component rather than reopening the modal popup?

Answer №1

If you have a popup that is static and can be accessed by clicking on a link or button at any time, it would be best to directly inject the modal into the parent component.

Alternatively, if you prefer to use routing, I suggest utilizing canActivateFn. By doing this, you can take advantage of Angular's built-in features without having to create custom solutions. Simply check the previous route from which the user navigated and activate the appropriate route, or redirect them to '/home' if needed.
