NavigationCurrentEntryChangeEvent: NavigationCurrentEntryChangeEvent() constructor

Baseline 2026
Newly available

Since January 2026, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.

The NavigationCurrentEntryChangeEvent() constructor creates a new NavigationCurrentEntryChangeEvent object.

Syntax

js
new NavigationCurrentEntryChangeEvent(type, init)

Parameters

type

A string representing the type of event.

init

An object that, in addition to the properties defined in Event(), has the following properties:

from

A NavigationHistoryEntry object representing the location being navigated to.

The type of the navigation that resulted in the change. Possible values are push, reload, replace, and traverse. Defaults to null.

Return value

A new NavigationCurrentEntryChangeEvent object.

Examples

A developer would not use this constructor manually. A new NavigationCurrentEntryChangeEvent object is constructed when a handler is invoked as a result of the currententrychange event firing.

js
navigation.addEventListener("currententrychange", (event) => {
  console.log(event.navigationType);
});
