[Trigger javascript on clicking any page link, but before the page content loads? - #2 by Johani](https://meta.discourse.org/t/trigger-javascript-on-clicking-any-page-link-but-before-the-page-content-loads/167970/2)

Generally, though, `onPageChange` should be avoided if you can. There’s other ways to check the current route and do some conditional work based on that. Happy to take a look if you post your code and desired result here.
