Prevent tab change on PrimeVue TabView component

I am using the TabView component from PrimeVue (Vue 3), and I want to stop the tab change if any changes are made by the user, the problem is that I don't know how. I've already tried passing the event and using preventDefault and stopPropagation but seems that it doesn't work and click event is still happening.
The procedure should be:
If any changes are made, user press the tab and a dialog appears.
If user clicks 'No', I should prevent the tab change and stop the click event
Here is the demo of what I'm trying to archive, should be simple https://codesandbox.io/s/aged-wave-yzl1k?file=/src/App.vue:0-1753
If a flag is true I want to show a confirm dialog and prevent the tab change if user dismiss it.
The component that I'm using for the TabView: https://primefaces.org/primevue/showcase/#/tabview
Thanks in advance,

From the docs it looks like that internally the component will first switch tabs and then emit "tab-click", which explains the issue you're seeing. The exception is if the tab is disabled, in which case it won't change tabs but will emit "tab-click".
It took a bit to figure out, but there is a way to get the functionality you need with only a small adjustment. It requires a change in your main.js as well as in your App.vue file.
// main.js
/*
* Put this after you import TabView.
* This will prevent automatic tab switching but still emits
* the event to your application.
*/
TabView.methods.onTabClick = function(event, i) {
this.$emit('tab-click', {
originalEvent: event,
index: i
});
}
// App.vue
const onTabClick = (event) => {
if (changes.value) {
confirm.require({
message:
"Are you sure that you want to leave this tab? You'll lose your changes",
icon: "fal fa-exclamation-triangle",
acceptLabel: "Yes",
rejectIcon: "No",
accept: () => {
alert("here we should allow tab change");
activeIndex.value = event.index; // manually set activeIndex
},
reject: () => {
alert("stop tab change");
},
});
}
};
These changes modify what the onTabClick library method to only emit the event, without automatically switching. Then in your app you can check the index property of the event to determine what should be set to active.

react-router stops routing after rerender from a concurrent event

I have a dropdown that is controlled via state.
Clicking on a button toggles it on. Clicking outside toggles it off.
The dropdown contains Links within my application, however, when the dropdown is being toggled off, route transition is prevented.
If autohide is disabled, routing works fine, however, it is desired to also hide the dropdown on route transition.
Please explain to me what is going on
Also please help me fix it
class App extends React.Component {
state = {
isNavShown: false
}
showNav = () => this.setState({isNavShown: true})
hideNav = event => {
// ... some more logic ...
// don't hide if autoHide is disabled
if (autoHide.checked === false) return
this.setState({isNavShown: false})
}
componentDidMount() {
document.addEventListener('mousedown', this.hideNav)
}
// ...
}
I have also tried wrapping the setState in setTimeout, but to no avail.
Here is the full jsfiddle https://jsfiddle.net/nimareq/1kh47uey/

So the issue is that your hideNav function is hiding the nav if the user clicks anywhere outside of show navigation button and the checkbox you built. However, if the user clicks on the nav itself it will be hidden before you have a chance to navigate the user.
Essentially, the browser will detect the click event listener you made on the document before it bubbles down to the anchor tag click. By the time it gets there the anchor tag is gone. (I hope that makes sense lol)
Anyways you can easily solve it by adding the following to your hideNav function:
if(nav.contains(event.target)) return;
Also don't forget to add the id="nav" on your navbar or whatever else you want to call it. This way the navbar won't disappear when u click on the navbar. It will still disappear if you click off the navbar.

Link click issue with flickity JS plugin

I want to know when the user starts the navigation to a new page by clicking in a link located inside my Flickity slider. I have attached the jQuery click event on the links, but when the user slides and click at the same time, the click event on the <a> is triggered but the navigation to the link adress does not occur.
Demo : http://codepen.io/anon/pen/GoapaY
. To reproduce the issue : click down on the link, then slide, then release your click : the event is triggered but the navigation to example.com have not occured.
Which event/trick can I use to know when the user actually navigate to the link adress ?

Answer obtained with this issue opened on Flickity's GitHub :
This is the intended behavior. This allows users to slide the gallery using any element on the page, links, buttons, etc. It lets click events propagate. There's additional logic so that static clicks do trigger a click on the element, and allow links to go through if no sliding occurred.
Flickity's staticClick event might be what you're looking for.

This solves the issue for me:
$el.on('dragStart.flickity', () => $el.find('.slide').css('pointer-events', 'none'));
$el.on('dragEnd.flickity', () => $el.find('.slide').css('pointer-events', 'all'));
I just disable pointer events on dragStart and reinstate them on dragEnd.

Ali Klein's solution worked for me.
I'm not using jQuery so here is the code I'm using
const carousel = document.querySelector('.carousel')
const flkty = new Flickity(carousel, {
// ...options
on: {
'dragStart': () => {
carousel.style.pointerEvents = 'none'
},
'dragEnd': () => {
carousel.style.pointerEvents = 'all'
}
}
})

HTML modal popup can lose focus by tabbing to form fields in background

I have modal popup with an overlay written in html / js, everything works fine but if a user tabs enough they can get to the underlying form fields / buttons. Is there any good way of preventing this?

This is a rough idea but I'm hoping to inspire ideas rather than tell you exactly how to do it. I'll use a combination of pseudocode and pseudo-jquery-code:
function showMymodaldExample() {
//Show modal dialog (mymodal) code goes here
//
//Then we bind an event
$(document).bind('mymodal.keydown', function(e) {
if ( currently focussed element is not a child of mymodal ) {
set the focus previous element
}
});
}
And then remember to unbind mymodal.keydown when you destroy/hide the dialog

Disable (and re-enable) the href and onclick on elements

I just want to enable / disable onclick and href on elements (a or div).
I don't know how to do this.
I can disable onclick by adding an handler on click event, but the href is still available.
$(this).unbind().click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
return;
});
Edit FOUND A HACK FOR A ELEMENTS
if ($(this).attr("href")) {
$(this).attr("x-href", $(this).attr("href"));
$(this).removeAttr("href");
}

If you return false on the onclick event, the href is irgnored.
This will go to Goole: <a
href="http://www.google.com"
onclick="alert('Go to
Google')">Test</a>
This will not go to Google: Test

Ok i've found a workaround : putting an overlay over the main div containing all the elements i wanted to disable ..
It just works.

You could try the following:
$('a, div').click(
function(e){
return false;
// cancels default action *and* stops propagation
// or e.preventDefault;
// cancels default action without stopping propagation
});
MDC documentation for preventDefault, jQuery documentation for event.preventDefault.
SO question: JavaScript event.preventDefault vs return false.
I'm unsure as to the problem of the "href still being available," since the click event is cancelled; however if you want to remove the href from a elements:
$('a[href]').attr('href','#');
will remove them (or, rather, replace the URL with a #).
Edited in response to comment (to question) by OP:
Ok, sorry ;) I just want to be able (by clicking on a button), to disable / enable all the links (click or href) over elements (div or a)
$('#buttonRemoveClickId, .buttonClassName').click(
function() {
$('a, div').unbind('click');
});
$('#buttonReplaceClickId, .buttonOtherClassName').click(
function() {
$('a, div').bind('click');
});
unbind(),
bind().

Try this to disable click:
$(this).unbind('click');

You can set the href attribute directly to "" to prevent the original from showing up in the status bar, if that's what you're asking.
$(this).unbind().click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
}).attr("href", "");
Otherwise, a event.preventDefault() already stops links from being clickable.
