REFACTR x React Robins: New Navigation API, OOP & interview tips
Join us for an insightful and practical talk where we delve into the transformative capabilities of the new Navigation API. This is a HYBRID EVENT co-hosted with React Robins. Sailing Uncharted Waters: Exploring the New Navigation API Navigation in a single page app has always been a little kludgy. The history object has a weird API. There’s no way to listen for all URL changes. But the Navigation API is here to solve these problems. It is a brand new way to handle client-side navigation and brings many new features like a cleaner JavaScript interface, navigation interception, and automatic scroll and focus handling. Together, we’ll walk through all the aspects of the new Navigation API that library authors and application developers alike can utilize. We'll also have lightning talks by Nicole Gathany and Allison Higgins.
