Is a client-side JavaScript component that prevents the backspace from navigating back in the browser.

You can use it with browserify or component.

npm / Browserify

npm install prevent-backspace

Component

component install jprichardson/prevent-backspace

Example

var preventBackspace = require('prevent-backspace')
preventBackspace() //hitting `backspace` outside of input, select, textarea or contentEditable will be swallowed
