I would like to listen to path changes in a SPA which is not maintained by me.
I found one solution here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/44819548/7042552
But still, it seems kind of “hacky” to me – but still my implementation is like this:
let url = window.location.href; ['click','popstate', 'onload'].forEach( evt => window.addEventListener(evt, function () { requestAnimationFrame(()=>{ if (url !== location.href) { // do stuff } url = location.href; }); }, true) );
Is there a better or more generic way to listen for page loads in a SPA?

This https://stackoverflow.com/a/41825103/7042552 did the job for me, unbelievable we still have to use these hacks in 2018.
