Navigation

API Reference

useNavigation

A hook that lets you push and pop view components in the navigation stack.

You most likely won't use this hook too often. To push a new component, use the Push Action. When a user presses ESC, we automatically pop to the previous component.

Signature

function useNavigation(): Navigation;

Example

import { Action, ActionPanel, Detail, useNavigation } from "@raycast/api";

function Ping() {
  const { push } = useNavigation();

  return (
    <Detail
      markdown="Ping"
      actions={
        <ActionPanel>
          <Action title="Push" onAction={() => push(<Pong />)} />
        </ActionPanel>
      }
    />
  );
}

function Pong() {
  const { pop } = useNavigation();

  return (
    <Detail
      markdown="Pong"
      actions={
        <ActionPanel>
          <Action title="Pop" onAction={pop} />
        </ActionPanel>
      }
    />
  );
}

export default function Command() {
  return <Ping />;
}
