Is there an event in Backbone.Router that happens BEFORE the route is called?

Question

JavaScript

The "route" event fires after the function responsible for the route has run.
Is it possible to get an event like "before:route"?

Answer 1

No, it doesn't come out of the box. In general, all built-in events are described in the docs , if that.
I personally made routes “empty” in all backbone applications, they just fired the corresponding event on the global bus. In your case, you can fire an event at the beginning of the handler of the corresponding router or call the desired function. Well, or inherit from Backbone.Router and rewrite the route method accordingly.
