Call function on page change

Dev

Depending on what you want to do this could be wildly varied, but to call a function, or do something on every page change by the user you could use the plugin API.

Here you can read through a developers guide to using Discourse theming/components (custom JS etc).

Here you can find withPluginApi information.

This is a simple example of me logging the current URL as well as the page title.

I am doing this in the common/head_tag.html file. Which can be edited at /admin/customize/themes/9/common/head_tag/edit

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
    api.onPageChange((url, title) => {
        console.log(url, title);
    });
</script>
