Log changes in window.location

Question

Communication between Sketchup and their webdialogs is done by using window.location = skp:action@value to trigger a callback on the Sketchup. While doing so, it doesn't load another page, which this question uses.

Is there a way to extend window.location to log changes to the console when it doesn't load a new page?

Answer 1

you can try the hashchange event that fires when a window's hash changes

window
  .addEventListener("hashchange", function(event){
    console.log(event.newURL); //document.URL
  }, false);
