在离开网页之前进行未保存的更改时警告用户

测试了Eli Grey的通用解决方案，仅在我将代码简化为

  'use strict';
  (() => {
    const modified_inputs = new Set();
    const defaultValue = 'defaultValue';
    // store default values
    addEventListener('beforeinput', evt => {
      const target = evt.target;
      if (!(defaultValue in target.dataset)) {
        target.dataset[defaultValue] = ('' + (target.value || target.textContent)).trim();
      }
    });

    // detect input modifications
    addEventListener('input', evt => {
      const target = evt.target;
      let original = target.dataset[defaultValue];

      let current = ('' + (target.value || target.textContent)).trim();

      if (original !== current) {
        if (!modified_inputs.has(target)) {
          modified_inputs.add(target);
        }
      } else if (modified_inputs.has(target)) {
        modified_inputs.delete(target);
      }
    });

    addEventListener(
      'saved',
      function(e) {
        modified_inputs.clear()
      },
      false
    );

    addEventListener('beforeunload', evt => {
      if (modified_inputs.size) {
        const unsaved_changes_warning = 'Changes you made may not be saved.';
        evt.returnValue = unsaved_changes_warning;
        return unsaved_changes_warning;
      }
    });

  })();

对他的修改被删除target[defaultValue]，仅用于target.dataset[defaultValue]存储实际默认值。

我添加了一个“保存的”事件侦听器，您可以在成功执行保存操作后自行触发“保存的”事件。

但是，这种“通用”解决方案仅适用于浏览器，不适用于应用程序的Webview（例如，微信浏览器）。

为了使其（部分地）在微信浏览器中工作，再次进行了另一项改进：

  'use strict';
  (() => {
    const modified_inputs = new Set();
    const defaultValue = 'defaultValue';
    // store default values
    addEventListener('beforeinput', evt => {
      const target = evt.target;
      if (!(defaultValue in target.dataset)) {
        target.dataset[defaultValue] = ('' + (target.value || target.textContent)).trim();
      }
    });

    // detect input modifications
    addEventListener('input', evt => {
      const target = evt.target;
      let original = target.dataset[defaultValue];

      let current = ('' + (target.value || target.textContent)).trim();

      if (original !== current) {
        if (!modified_inputs.has(target)) {
          modified_inputs.add(target);
        }
      } else if (modified_inputs.has(target)) {
        modified_inputs.delete(target);
      }

      if(modified_inputs.size){
        const event = new Event('needSave')
        window.dispatchEvent(event);
      }
    });

    addEventListener(
      'saved',
      function(e) {
        modified_inputs.clear()
      },
      false
    );

    addEventListener('beforeunload', evt => {
      if (modified_inputs.size) {
        const unsaved_changes_warning = 'Changes you made may not be saved.';
        evt.returnValue = unsaved_changes_warning;
        return unsaved_changes_warning;
      }
    });

    const ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();

    if(/MicroMessenger/i.test(ua)) {
      let pushed = false

      addEventListener('needSave', evt => {
        if(!pushed) {
          pushHistory();

          window.addEventListener("popstate", function(e) {
            if(modified_inputs.size) {
              var cfi = confirm('确定要离开当前页面嘛？' + JSON.stringify(e));
              if (cfi) {
                modified_inputs.clear()
                history.go(-1)
              }else{
                e.preventDefault();
                e.stopPropagation();
              }
            }
          }, false);
        }

        pushed = true
      });
    }

    function pushHistory() {
      var state = {
        title: document.title,
        url: "#flag"

      window.history.pushState(state, document.title, "#flag");

    }

    var aPropsFormLoad = Object.keys(defaultValues);

    // If number of properties is different,
    // objects are not equivalent
    if (aPropsFormLoad.length != aPropsFormClose.length) {
        return false;
    }

    for (var i = 0; i < aPropsFormLoad.length; i++) {
        var propName = aPropsFormLoad[i];

        // If values of same property are not equal,
        // objects are not equivalent
        if (defaultValues[aPropsFormLoad]+"" !== valuesOnClose[aPropsFormLoad]+"") {
            return false;
        }
    }

    // If we made it this far, objects
    // are considered equivalent
    return true;
