Excellent article Robiul, Thank you for sharing this. Will definately try these alternatives, one quick question - Do you this will also work with browser close? If not do you know a reliable way where we can do API call on browser close reliably?

This is such a valuable UX pattern! I've implemented similar functionality and the user feedback is always positive. The beforeunload event handling you've shown is spot on. Pro tip: consider also implementing a draft auto-save mechanism alongside this to give users extra peace of mind. The combination of unsaved change alerts + auto-drafts creates a really robust content preservation system.
