A NavigationHistoryEntry object.

Examples

function initHomeBtn() { // Get the key of the first loaded entry // so the user can always go back to this view. const { key } = navigation.currentEntry; backToHomeButton.onclick = () => { navigation.traverseTo(key); }; } // Intercept navigate events, such as link clicks, and // replace them with single-page navigations navigation.addEventListener("navigate", (event) => { event.intercept({ async handler() { // Navigate to a different view, // but the "home" button will always work. }, }); });
