Navigation Between Pages

To navigate between pages, use the navigateTo() method of the Client class. You need to specify the page ID of the page you want the client to display. The UI won’t be replaced unless you register the new page to another UI, if there is no need to replace the UI, the current UI will remain. Only the page content will be replaced, thereby ensuring fast navigation. This also means fewer resources are used on the client side.

Navigating to a page

If you want to navigate to a page from a menu or another page, you have to call this method. To be able to navigate, you must define an endpoint which is identical with the pageId you specified when registering the page ( Registering a page ). Once this is done, the page is loaded into the client browser.

Navigating and passing a parameter to the page

There are multiple ways to open a page, depending on where the navigation starts from.

If you pass a parameter when opening a page, the parameter will be processed along with default page parameters. If the passed parameter has the same name as a default page parameter, the passed parameter will overwrite the default one.

You can add default page parameters when you register a page. To learn more, visit the Component Management section.
