javascript - How to detect browser back button click event using angular? -

is possible detect user entered page through using history button in browser? preferably want detect action using angular.js.

i not want use angular routing. should work if user submits form , after successful submit server , re-direct, should possible if user goes form using button of browser.

here solution angular.

myapp.run(function($rootscope, $route, $location){    //bind `$locationchangesuccess` event on rootscope, dont need     //bind in induvidual controllers.     $rootscope.$on('$locationchangesuccess', function() {         $rootscope.actuallocation = $location.path();     });             $rootscope.$watch(function () {return $location.path()}, function (newlocation, oldlocation) {         if($rootscope.actuallocation === newlocation) {             alert('why did use history back?');         }     }); }); 

i using run block kickstart this. first store actual location in $rootscope.actuallocation, listen $locationchangesuccess , when happens update actuallocation new value.

in $rootscope watch changes in location path , if new location equal previouslocation because $locationchangesuccess not fired, meaning user has used history back.
