Navigation Builder

[Chanelle Kirksey]

pagesand '/page2' will use the default transition whereas '/page1' will use its own defined custom page transition. See Page transition animation section for detailed information.

Each sub route has its own stack of pages.The builder method is used to wrap the route outlet inside another widget. Only the outlet widget will be animated on page transition. See Nested routes for more information.

By default pages are wrapped with the appropriate MaterialPage ro CupertinoPage depending on whether you use MaterialApp.router or CupertinoApp.router.In case you want to provide your own Page implementation you can use pageBuilder parameter.

The transitionsBuilder defined here will be use for all routes. In case you want, you have the ability to override this global behavior for a particular route or just for a particular call of navigation.See Page transition animation for detailed discussion.

If the user chooses No, the app stays in the sign form page. In contrast if the user choose YES, the app is forcefully popped and both the Dialog and the sign in form page are removed from the routing stack.

You can pass arguments or queryParams to the route. You can also decide whether the route is fullscreenDialog and whether to maintainsState or not.You can also override the global page transition with the one you define here via the transitionBuilder parameter. The transitionBuilder defined here will be applied to this particular navigation call. Any further call of myNavigator.to method will use the default page transition.

myNavigator.toDeeply('/page1/page11'): Deeply navigate to the given routeName. Deep navigation means that the root stack is cleaned and pages corresponding to sub paths are added to the stack.Suppose our navigator is :

myNavigator.toReplacement('/page1'): Here '/page1' route will be added on top of the route stack and the last page will be removed.This is exactly equivalent to myNavigator.toReplacementNamed('/page1'). You still can use both with Navigator 2.

myNavigator.toAndRemoveUntil('/page1'): Here '/page1' route will be added on top of the route stack and all the previous routes until meeting the route with defined route name untilRouteName are removed.If the argument untilRouteName is not defined, all previous pages are removed.This is exactly equivalent to myNavigator.toNamedAndRemoveUntil('/page1'). You still can use both with Navigator 2.

myNavigator.back(): Pop the top-most route off the route stack.You can pass a result to complete the future that had been returned from pushing the popped route.This is exactly equivalent to myNavigator.back(). You still can use both with Navigator 2.

myNavigator.forceBack(): Pop the top-most route off the route stack with all pageless route associated with it and without calling onNavigateBack hook.This is exactly equivalent to myNavigator.forceBack().

The difference between back and forceBack:back invokes onNavigateBack hook and pops the top most route carelessly its a page or pageless route. For example, if a Dialog (a Dialog is an example pageless route) is displayed and we invoke back, only the Dialog is popped off.In Contrast forceBack does not invoke onNavigateBack hook and pops the top most page route with all pageless routes associated with it. For example, if a Dialog is displayed and we invoke forceBack, the dialog and the top most page route are popped off.

The section introduces the concept of Pages to the Navigator and divides the Routes managed by the Navigator into two groups: Some Routes are backed by a Page, others are not. The latter are called pageless Routes.

For sure, navigation_builder is less boilerplate, but it is also more intuitive.In navigation_builder we make it clear that we are navigating to the dialog, so to close a dialog, we just pop it from the route stack.

I try to add a section with 2 views to a window (splash screen) and the "views navigation" are not linking to the views. The dots and arrows do work on the section but not the navigation menu from the "Views Navigation" widget (see pic). I was wondering if this is a bug or or if the navigations can not be used within a window?

This should work just fine, and it's something I use quite often for "guide" style windows. I like to group informational panels by category, like, "how to navigate the map", "how to use the filter widget", etc., and in-window sections are great for this.

Not sure what I am doing wrong!. It work great on the page...but no on the window. I try so many time with just a blank window and is like the navigation buttons are "disable". I can't click on the links. However when I click on the arrows or dots the navigation links react to the views. I have no other elements on the window and the navigation menu is set to BRING TO FRONT. Are you using the developer version??? I am just using the AGOL version

I typically use the developer version, but in the test I screenshotted above, I was using AGOL. Does it behave any differently in the preview / published view? I have sometimes had things behave differently in the builder, even with "Live Preview" turned on, than when truly published.

It appears once you choose to "upgrade" your app to the new UI, you lose the option to toggle the navigation builder off and on. I really hope there is a way around it too, as my organization prefers to hide the list of reports and see report pages along the bottom like tabs in Excel.

@v-mengzhu-msft this is not really what i am looking for.

the navigation builder had additional options from what is available in the "content" tab.

also minimizing the navigation pane with the relevant icon "

Hi Ben,

Agreed most of the functionalities are there but not all. So with the Navigation builder, we could define the section one sheet of a report belonged to earlier and create a two-level navigation. Now I have to pin dashboards and take those up in a section to get the same thing done. But with this the whole report also comes up and I can't hide it because if I do then my dashboards also get hidden. I am not sure why would PBI downgrade.

I read the Pro header introduction link posted in every thread about the header builder. Neither the video or the KB article has any discussion about what controls the actual entries in the menu header are being autobuilt from.

In the scene for the UINavigationController itself, I suppose you could check the hidden button for the nav bar in the Attributes inspector, but that would make the nav bar hidden for all the view controllers in the navigation stack. But that's not what you want.

To hide the nav bar for an individual view controller using IB, you would need to use a stand alone nav bar for each view controller (e.g., drap and drop a Navigation Bar from the object library in IB). To use a stand alone nav bar in a navigation stack would be more work than programmatically hiding the nav bar.

Totally understand, I was a bit apprehensive to post this one as it was always going to be tricky to solve due to so many different use cases and how it can be built. More of a conversation post really to ascertain wether we are looking to make the menu builder fully compliant out the box or having the user build and adapt to make it compliant

Similarly - the dropdown content should also be a list so it can be announced how many items are in the dropdown. Could having the dropdown items pre-wrapped in a div & li be workable, or again would that be up to the user?

The W3C/WCAG pages are littered with examples of all over the place for different criteria and techniques and every single one of them which has a has a list of items inside be it or . It is literally there in their menu tutorial (which follows and adheres to the WCAG guidelines) - Menu Structure Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) W3C

This is a similar structure I can imagine being the default. The default elements that are inserted should be a11y compliant. I get that you want full control and so do I, but it is far easier to delete these components and build how you wish than it is to go through the default menu and make it a11y compliant.

Can you really say you are a11y complaint if your default menu does not pass the basic tests?

Just wanted to raise a friendly discussion on this before it goes full release and its too late to change

Edit: No one should promote something as accessible out of the box. Bricks has shown a commitment to making things more accessible, but accessibility is a scale that we work on moving forward. The nav element allows for a lot more than just a ul and li elements so I think the setup as they have it allows for a lot more flexibility.

ARIA provides an attribute which allows to hide elements from screen readers. It works pretty uniformly on non-focusable elements in modern browsers and screen readers, but it still has some very odd peculiarities. So you better try to create...

I have included this component in my header in the Community Builder in a "Customer Account Portal" themed community. It correctly reflects the navigation links as set up in the default Navigation Menu settings.

The problem is, there's no way to edit the links by clicking on the component itself in the builder. I have no earthly clue how to reference the default/global Navigation Menu settings in my design piece of the component.

As far as I know, you can't expose the Navigation Menus list as a design attribute. However, when using a custom component that extends forceCommunity:navigationMenuBase the Navigation Menu that will be used will be the Default Navigation.

Is there documentation or a video or some other resource I could study for how to build the common UI component of a horizontal navigation menu that would appear in the header of every page and permit users to navigate to different portions of an app? Thanks.

Unfortunately, the documentation is incomplete, and I have not found a support topic that describes the best way to build a navigation menu, which is one of the most common components of modern web apps.
