The New Navigation API Changes Everything for SPAs

Browsers now have a brand new Navigation API — and it completely changes how we handle routing in web apps. In this video, we explore the new Navigation API, why it exists, and how it improves on the classic History API. We’ll build a small demo that intercepts navigations, handles async loading, and works seamlessly with back and forward navigation — without frameworks or click handlers. If you’re building SPAs, routers, or just want to understand where web navigation is heading, this API is worth knowing. What we’ll cover: – Why the History API falls short – What the Navigation API actually does – Intercepting navigations with event.intercept() – Async navigation and loading states – Back/forward handling without hacks – Browser support and progressive enhancement This is a glimpse into the future of client-side routing on the web. 🔗 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigation_API 🔔 Subscribe for more modern web platform content #JavaScript #WebDevelopment #NavigationAPI #Frontend #SPA #BrowserAPIs
