NavigateEvent: destination property
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The destination
read-only property of the
NavigateEvent
interface returns a NavigationDestination
object representing the destination being navigated to.
Value
A NavigationDestination
object.
Examples
js
navigation.addEventListener("navigate", (event) => {
// Exit early if this navigation shouldn't be intercepted,
// e.g. if the navigation is cross-origin, or a download request
if (shouldNotIntercept(event)) {
return;
}
const url = new URL(event.destination.url);
if (url.pathname.startsWith("/articles/")) {
event.intercept({
async handler() {
// The URL has already changed, so show a placeholder while
// fetching the new content, such as a spinner or loading page
renderArticlePagePlaceholder();
// Fetch the new content and display when ready
const articleContent = await getArticleContent(url.pathname);
renderArticlePage(articleContent);
},
});
}
});
