Adds back in `useBlocker` and `usePrompt` to `react-router-dom` version 6.0.2 (they removed after the 6.0.0 beta, temporarily)

react-router-dom-v.6.02.prompt.blocker.js

/**
 * These hooks re-implement the now removed useBlocker and usePrompt hooks in 'react-router-dom'.

This approach may not be needed soon as we now have (as of v6.7.0) unstable_useBlocker and unstable_usePrompt:
remix-run/react-router#8139 (comment)

Waiting for the docs to be written before I update this gist.

Not woking with some gaming mouse have back button, any ideals?

Here's a useBeforeUnload hook for v6.4.3 that catches both react router navigation and browser navigation:

import { useCallback } from 'react';
import { useBeforeUnload as _useBeforeUnload, unstable_usePrompt as usePrompt } from 'react-router-dom';

export default function useBeforeUnload(doBlock?: boolean) {
  _useBeforeUnload(
    useCallback(e => {
      if (doBlock) {
        e.preventDefault();
        return e.returnValue = '';
      }
    }, [doBlock])
  );

  usePrompt({
    when: doBlock,
    message: 'Discard unsaved changes?'
  });
}

thx!

This is awesome, thanks for sharing! 💯

you can simply add these:

useEffect(() => {
   window.addEventListener("beforeunload", onBeforeUnload);
   return () => {
     window.removeEventListener("beforeunload", onBeforeUnload);
   };
 });

 const onBeforeUnload = (e) => {
   if (hasDirty) {
     e.preventDefault();
     e.returnValue = "";
   }
 };

This doesn't fire during route transitions...
