Track last visited route in Iron Router by wrapping Router.go

gistfile1.js

var go;

go = Router.go;

Session.set('lastRoute', null);

Router.go = function() {
  if (!Session.equals('lastRoute', Router.current().route.path())) {
    Session.set('lastRoute', Router.current().route.path());
  }
  return go.apply(this, arguments);
};

// Check if a user has visited any route with History API by checking for Session.equals('lastRoute', null);

Hey thanks for this, it's very interesting. One issue is that it will not handle when the user presses the back or forward button.

Here is another potential solution I just came up with it will track route changes from the back and forward buttons. https://gist.github.com/jperl/d4d505005549165ab1d9
