Navigation

The <Navigation> component is the root view container for navigation. It typically functions as the root container of a page and includes a title bar, content area, and toolbar. The content area switches between the home page content (child components of <Navigation>) and non-home page content (child components of <NavDestination>) through routing.

NOTE

This component is supported since API version 8. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

Child Components

Supported

Since API version 9, it is recommended that this component be used together with the <NavRouter> component.

Since API version 10, it is recommended that this component be used together with the <NavPathStack> component and navDestination attribute.

APIs

Navigation()

Navigation(pathInfos: NavPathStack)

Binds a navigation stack to the <Navigation> component.

Parameters

Attributes

In addition to the universal attributes, the following attributes are supported.

Name Type Description
title ResourceStr10+ | CustomBuilder8+ | NavigationCommonTitle9+ | NavigationCustomTitle9+ Page title.
NOTE
When the NavigationCustomTitle type is used to set the height, the titleMode attribute does not take effect.
When the title string is too long: (1) If no subtitle is set, the string is scaled down, wrapped in two lines, and then clipped with an ellipsis (...); (2) If a subtitle is set, the subtitle is scaled down and then clipped with an ellipsis (...).
subTitle(deprecated) string Subtitle of the page. If this attribute is not set, no subtitle is displayed. This attribute is deprecated since API version 9. You are advised to use title instead.
menus Array<NavigationMenuItem> | CustomBuilder Menu items in the upper right corner of the page. If this attribute is not set, no menu item is displayed. When the value type is Array<NavigationMenuItem>, the menu shows a maximum of three icons in portrait mode and a maximum of five icons in landscape mode, with excess icons (if any) placed under the automatically generated More icon.
titleMode NavigationTitleMode Display mode of the page title bar.
Default value: NavigationTitleMode.Free
toolBar(deprecated) object | CustomBuilder Content of the toolbar. If this attribute is not set, no toolbar is displayed.
items: all items on the toolbar.
NOTE
Items are evenly distributed on the toolbar at the bottom. Text and icons are evenly distributed in each content area. If the text is too long, it is scaled down level by level, wrapped in two lines, and then clipped with an ellipsis (...).
This API is deprecated since API version 10. You are advised to use toolbarConfiguration instead.
toolbarConfiguration10+ Array<ToolbarItem> | CustomBuilder Content of the toolbar. If this attribute is not set, no toolbar is displayed.
NOTE
When the value type is Array<[ToolbarItem](#ToolbarItem>, the toolbar exhibits the following features:
Items are evenly distributed on the toolbar at the bottom. Text and icons are evenly distributed in each content area.
If any item contains overlong text and there are fewer than five items, the following measures are taken: 1. Increase the item's width to accommodate the text until it is as large as the screen width; 2. Scale down the text level by level; 3. Wrap the text in two lines; 4. Clip the text with an ellipsis (...).
The toolbar shows a maximum of five icons in portrait mode, with excess icons (if any) placed under the automatically generated More icon. In landscape mode, this attribute must be used together with Array<NavigationMenuItem> of the menus attribute; the toolbar at the bottom is automatically hidden, and all items on the toolbar are moved to the menu in the upper right corner of the screen.
When the value type is CustomBuilder, and the toolbar does not exhibit the preceding features except that items are evenly distributed on the toolbar at the bottom.
hideToolBar boolean Whether to hide the toolbar.
Default value: false
true: Hide the toolbar.
false: Show the toolbar.
hideTitleBar boolean Whether to hide the title bar.

Available options are Stack, Split, and Auto.
backButtonIcon9+ string | PixelMap | Resource Back button icon in the title bar. The back button in the title bar of the <NavDestination> component cannot be hidden.
hideNavBar9+ boolean Whether to hide the navigation bar. If this parameter is set to true, the navigation bar, including the title bar, content area, and toolbar, is hidden. In this case, if the navigation destination page is in the navigation stack, it is moved to the top of the stack and displayed. Otherwise, a blank page is displayed.
navDestination10+ builder: (name: string, param: unknown) => void Builder for a <NavDestination> component.
NOTE
The builder function is used, with the name and param parameters passed in. In the builder, a layer of custom components can be included outside the <NavDestination> component. However, no attributes or events can be set for the custom components. Otherwise, only blank components are displayed.
navBarWidthRange10+ [Dimension, Dimension] Minimum and maximum widths of the navigation bar (valid in dual-column mode).
Default value: 240 for the minimum value; 40% of the component width (not greater than 432) for the maximum value

Name Description
Stack The navigation bar and content area are displayed independently of each other, which are equivalent to two pages.
Split The navigation bar and content area are displayed in different columns.
The values of navBarWidthRange are represented by [minNavBarWidth,maxNavBarWidth].
1. When the value of navBarWidth is beyond the value range specified by navBarWidthRange, navBarWidth is set according to the following rules:
Value of navBarWidth < Value of minNavBarWidth: The value of navBarWidth is changed to that of minNavBarWidth.
Value of navBarWidth > Value of maxNavBarWidth and Result of [Component width - Value of minContentWidth - Divider width (1 vp)] > Value of maxNavBarWidth: The value of navBarWidth is changed to that of maxNavBarWidth.
Value of navBarWidth > Value of maxNavBarWidth and Result of [Component width - Value of minContentWidth - Divider width (1 vp)] < Value of maxNavBarWidth: The value of navBarWidth is changed to that of minNavBarWidth.
Value of navBarWidth > Value of maxNavBarWidth and Component width - Value of minContentWidth - Divider width (1 vp) is within the value range specified by navBarWidthRange: The value of navBarWidth is changed to Component width - Value of minContentWidth - Divider width (1 vp).
2. When the value of navBarWidth is within the value range specified by navBarWidthRange, navBarWidth is set according to the following rules:
Value of minNavBarWidth + Value of minContentWidth + Divider width (1 vp) > = Component width: The value of navBarWidth is changed to that of minNavBarWidth.
Value of minNavBarWidth + Value of minContentWidth + Divider width (1 vp) < Component width and Value of navBarWidth + Value of minContentWidth + Divider width (1 vp) > = Component width: The value of navBarWidth is changed to Component width - Value of minContentWidth - Divider width (1 vp).
Value of minNavBarWidth + Value of minContentWidth + Divider width (1 vp) < Component width and Value of navBarWidth + Value of minContentWidth + Divider width (1 vp) < Component width: The value of navBarWidth is the set value.
3. When the component size is decreased, the content area is shrunk until its width reaches the value defined by minContentWidth, and then the navigation bar is shrunk until its width reaches the value defined by minNavBarWidth; if the component size is further decreased, the content area is further shrunk until it disappears, and then navigation bar is shrunk.
4. When the navigation bar is set to a fixed size and the component size is continuously decreased, the navigation bar is shrunk.
5. If only navBarWidth is set, the width of the navigation bar is fixed at the value of navBarWidth, and the divider cannot be dragged.
Auto In API version 9 and earlier versions: If the window width is greater than or equal to 520 vp, the Split mode is used; otherwise, the Stack mode is used.
In API version 10 and later versions: If the window width is greater than or equal to 600 vp, the Split mode is used; otherwise, the Stack mode is used. 600 vp = minNavBarWidth (240 vp) + minContentWidth (360 vp).

TitleHeight9+

Name Description
MainOnly Recommended height (56 vp) of the title bar when only the main title is available.
MainWithSub Recommended height (82 vp) of the title bar when both the main title and subtitle exist.

NOTE

Among the scrollable components, only <List> is supported.
