Check if page gets reloaded or refreshed in JavaScript

Question

I want to check when someone tries to refresh a page.

For example, when I open a page nothing happens but when I refresh the page it should display an alert.

if(sessionStorage.reload) { 
   sessionStorage.reload = true;
   // optionnal
   setTimeout( () => { sessionStorage.setItem('reload', false) }, 2000);
} else {
   sessionStorage.setItem('reload', false);
}
