Handle Browser beforeunload with react-router-dom v6 page navigation

I have a simple application with the navigation built with react-router v6. My use case is to call an API with the last updated state on page unload.

const handleBeforeUnload = () => {
  console.log("Running unload");
};
React.useEffect(() => {
  window.addEventListener("beforeunload", handleBeforeUnload);
  return () => window.removeEventListener("beforeunload", handleBeforeUnload);
}, []);

With the above code when I reload the browser the handler is getting called. But when I'm trying to navigate via sidebar having NavLink, the unload is not getting called because react-router-dom do client side routing so page is not actually never getting unload. So How can I run the piece of code on page unload with react-router-dom Navigation?

You'll need to handle all the different ways a user leaves the component differently. Use beforeunload when the page is reloaded or closed, use an effect cleanup function to handle when the component is just unmounted.

Example:

React.useEffect(() => {
  const handleBeforeUnload = () => {
    console.log("Running unload");
  };
  // handles when page is unloaded
  window.addEventListener("beforeunload", handleBeforeUnload);
  // cleanup function handles when component unmounts
  return () => {
    window.removeEventListener("beforeunload", handleBeforeUnload);
    handleBeforeUnload();
  };
}, []);
