Example: stop playing music when page is closed react
import React, { useRef, useEffect } from 'react';
import waves from '../audio/waves.mp3';
const RockyCoast = (props) => {
// the audio variable needs to be stored in a ref in order to access it across renders
let audio = useRef();
// start the audio (using the .current property of the ref we just created) when the component mounts using the useEffect hook
useEffect(() => {
audio.current = new Audio(waves)
audio.current.play()
}, [])
// Stop the audio when the component unmounts
// (not exactly what you asked re React Router, but similar idea)
useEffect(() => {
return () => {
audio.current.pause()
console.log("in cleanup")
}
}, [])
