NavigationDestination: id 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 id read-only property of the NavigationDestination interface returns the id value of the destination NavigationHistoryEntry if the NavigateEvent.navigationType is traverse, or an empty string otherwise.

The id is a unique, UA-generated value that always represents the history entry, useful to correlate a history entry with an external resource such as a storage cache.

Value

A string representing the id of the destination NavigationHistoryEntry, or an empty string.

Examples

js
navigation.addEventListener("navigate", (event) => {
  console.log(event.destination.id);
});
