I am using Angular 6 and I want to know if there is anything other than popstate to detect back button of the browser?

If it's possible, then please elaborate. If it isn't possible, my problem is that I have two sibiling components both want to detect the back button event. When on back click,component travels to another also i included window.history.forward() which goes front to the component (i.e) route will not change and on back button previous component"s popstate executes and due to window.history.forward() current component"s popstate also executes.

Is there any solution to this?

I have two sibiling components both wants to detects back button event. When on back click the popstate in both the component runs this is the problem. – Aswin Kumar S Mar 15 '19 at 13:17

Ok fine,On detection how can make it to run two different functions from two different components using the current active component? – Aswin Kumar S Mar 15 '19 at 13:35
