Navigation: currentEntry property

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 currentEntry read-only property of the Navigation interface returns a NavigationHistoryEntry object representing the location the user is currently navigated to right now.

Value

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.
    },
  });
});
