Add navigation to application
Learn how to add in-app and external navigation with pages, menu and query params
Both in-app and external navigation is supported by UI Bakery. UI Bakery application can contain multiple pages. To create a page, open a menu in the left sidebar and click the Plus button:
Create a page
There are several options how to perform navigation inside of the application:
- Using Link component
- Using Button component
- Using Navigation action step
- Using Menu component
Navigation can be made to an internal application page as well as to an external website. To create a link, simply add a component and configure it to point to an internal or external page:
Configure link
In the case of a button or a link, you can use a Query params property of a component to pass dynamic parameters to a detail page.
Make sure that the Selected row index of your table is set to 
-1
For instance, to display a selected object on a child page with a button click you would need to do the following:
- On the Query params section, switch to JS mode and configure a primary key of the object:
Passing query params
{
id: {{ui.customersTable.selectedRow.data.customerNumber}}
}
In this example currently selected user number will be sent as an id query parameter to the Customer page.
- Receive a URL query parameter on a child page using
{{ activeRoute.queryParams.id }}variable:
Receiving query params
That's it, now if you select a row in a master page table and then click the Show Customer button - you will be navigated to a child page with a preloaded customer displayed in the detail component:
Complete navigation flow
You can also make navigation as a result to other events like table row select or form submit with the help Navigation action step:
- create a new Action
- choose the Navigation step, set the destination page
{{ routes.customer.url }}and configure query params:
Navigation step
This can also be useful when creating a redirect after a form submit.
If you need to configure redirection to an external page following a certain trigger, follow these steps:
- 1.Add an additional Code step to your action and specify the code:
const a = document.createElement('a');
a.href = 'https://google.com';
a.target = '_top';
a.click();
If you need to open the external link in a new tab, use this code:
window.open('https://google.com');
return 1;
Please be aware that when running this code on certain browsers, it may trigger a "blocked popup" warning message. This is especially likely to occur when the code is executed using the "Run Action" button. However, if the code is executed as a result of user interaction (e.g. button click), it should function correctly.
