Expose (store) history state stack

[lakca]

What problem does this feature solve?

As we know, for security reasons, browsers do not expose visited pages history.
But if in a single page application , it will be very helpful to access the history stack.
For example, I can clarify if it should directly back to previous or redirect to specific page when logged in.
although I can replace these with other approaches in different scenarios or maintain this by myself.
Appreciate it!

What does the proposed API look like?

router.history.stack or others are all okay.

Or maybe you can just implement a plugin for it, not everyone needs this feature and should not affect the core library.

The funny thing is we don't have it in history mode. This should be doable through a plugin though by branching into router.afterEach
In abstract mode, you do have access to it

For example, I can clarify if it should directly back to previous or redirect to specific page when logged in.

You should probably save the redirect url in a query parameter and read it when successfully logged in, then redirect

Okay, I see, maybe it's not the attention of vue-router.
Thanks.
