how to trigger a event in angular when the browser is closed not refresh

Question

how to delete token in local storage only on browser close not on refresh I am using below approach but it is getting removed on refresh also please provide a better solution as I tried many ways it is getting failed all times

is there any alternate way please provide a solution thanks in advance

window.onunload = function () {
  localStorage.removeItem('token');
}

@PankajParkar I think `onbeforeunload` is triggered when the page is refreshed too. — lealceldeiro, Aug 02 '18 at 17:46

You can't do it with the onunload event, but you can try to store your token in localSession instead of localStorage

It's impossible to tell the difference.

From the web page's point of view, closing the tab/browser and re-opening it again, and refreshing the page are the exact same actions. There's no reason for it to be different.
