Local Link
This function accepts a click event and returns the anchor element if the following conditions are met:
- The anchor host is the same as current page
- The anchor protocol is the same as current page
- The click was a left-click
- The click was not modified with shift, alt, ctrl, or meta
- The target attribute was not used, or targeted
_self
- The default behavior has not already been prevented
These are the conditions usually checked before preventing the default behavior of a click-event, for the purpose of client-side routing.
Install
npm install local-anchor
Example
var localLink = ;window;
Credits
This is built off of the catch-links module by James Halliday. The main difference between this module and catch-links is that catch-links handles the event-binding and calls preventDefault. I needed more control over these aspects in my projects. Thanks substack!
