Is there a similar event to onbeforeunload?

Looking for a way to attach onto an event when transitioning off of a page with or without a turbolinks link. Is that possible?

Thanks!

Listen for turbolinks:before-render to be notified just before Turbolinks replaces the <body> element.

You can combine this with window.onbeforeunload to create an unofficial turbolinks:unload event:

var dispatchUnloadEvent = function() {
  var event = document.createEvent("Events")
  event.initEvent("turbolinks:unload", true, false)
  document.dispatchEvent(event)
}

addEventListener("beforeunload", dispatchUnloadEvent)
addEventListener("turbolinks:before-render", dispatchUnloadEvent)

That was 5 years ago... but I think @sstephenson fix worked for me. Basically create a meta event that is triggered both by the browser and turbolinks. Make sense?

By the way, thanks @sstephenson I am just a few years late in saying that!
