I am trying to send data when the window closes to prevent 2 people from editing and overwriting each others data. Currently I am using a sendBeacon within a unload event handler.
FireFox:
- Refresh: Works
- Back button: Works
- Close window: Works
Chrome:
- Refresh: Works
- Back button: Works
- Close window: Doesn't work
Here is my code
function sendDataOnClose(edit,trans){
var url = "../../save.php"; //This has a post request handler and works properly with other functions for saving data
const data = JSON.stringify
({
"translations": trans,
"edit": edit
});
navigator.sendBeacon(url, data);
}
function handleClose(){
if(edit){
console.log("sending a false when edit is: "+ edit)
sendDataOnClose(false, translations);
}
}
window.addEventListener('unload', handleClose);
from Closing Chrome window not sending data with sendBeacon in unload event handler
