hashwatch

This module lets you listen for hashchange events in all browsers, even those that don’t emit the hashchange event.

** The tests should pass in all browsers, even IE 6 and friends! **

Install

$ npm install hashwatch

Usage

var watch = require('hashwatch')(handler)

function handler () {
  console.log('The hash is now ' + location.hash)
  console.log('so let’s stop listening for a bit…')
  watch.pause()

  setTimeout(function () {
    console.log('Okay, let’s pick things back up…')
    watch.resume()
  }, 1000)
}
