Examples

js

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.
    },
  });
