up.link up:link:follow

DOM event

This event is emitted when a link is followed through Unpoly.

The event is emitted on the <a> element that is being followed.

Changing render options

Listeners may inspect and manipulate render options for the coming fragment update.

The code below will open all form-contained links in an overlay, as to not lose the user's form data:

up.on('up:link:follow', function(event, link) {
  if (link.closest('form')) {
    event.renderOptions.layer = 'new'
  }
})
