Stop navigation if another link is clicked Angular-CodePudding

I have a form in angular and when it is submitted, there is a redirection to homepage after X seconds.

Here is the service containing the redirection method:

export class RouterService {
  private unsubscribe: Subject<void> = new Subject();

  constructor(private router: Router) {}

  ngOnDestroy() {
    this.unsubscribe.next();
    this.unsubscribe.complete();
  }

  redirectToHome() {
    timer(REDIRECT_TIMEOUT_MS)
      .pipe(takeUntil(this.unsubscribe))
      .subscribe((_) => {
        this.router.navigate(['/']);
      });
  }
}

Here is the submit method:

    this.missionService
      .createMission(mission)
      .pipe(takeUntil(this.unsubscribe))
      .subscribe({
        next: (response) => {
          this.messageService.add({
            severity: 'success',
            summary: 'Mission created successfully',
            detail: '',
            life: 5000,
          });
          this.routerService.redirectToHome();
        },
        error: (error) => {
          this.messageService.add({
            severity: 'error',
            summary: error.error.reason,
            detail: error.error.message,
            life: 5000,
          });
        },
      });

I'd like to know how can I stop redirectToHome() if suppose an user click somewhere else in the menu before x seconds have elapsed.

CodePudding user response：

I'd add an cancelNavigation subject in your service which would cancel navigation if called.

public cancelNavigation$ = new Subject<void>();

redirectToHome() {
    timer(REDIRECT_TIMEOUT_MS)
      .pipe(
           takeUntil(this.unsubscribe),
           takeUntil(this.cancelNavigation$)
      )
      .subscribe((_) => {
        this.router.navigate(['/']);
      });
  }
