Navigation Service in LWC

In this blog, we are going to discuss “Navigation Service in LWC” which is used to create a new account from an Account record page. This is not just limited to creating a new account you can perform various other tasks with it like going to the account list view, Creating a contact from the account screen, etc.

Here are the steps to use the navigation service.

Navigation service uses a PageReference.And a page reference is JavaScript that describes its page type, its attributes, and the state of the page.
First, we need to import the lightning/navigation module.
Use this Syntax:- Import {NavigationMixin} from ‘lightning/navigation;

Apply the NavigationMixin function to your component’s base Class.

Syntax: Export default class MyCustomElement extends NavigationMixin(LightningElement) {}

Create a javascript that defines a page.
In javascript call the navigation services that are [NavigationMixin.Navigate] page reference.
Example:

navigateNext() {
      this[NavigationMixin.Navigate]({
           type: 'standard__navItemPage',
           attributes: {
               apiName: this.tabName,
           },
      });
}

The component NavigationMixin.Navigate is used to navigate another page in the application.
Now let’s see an example of this:-
First, create an Html page in LWC.
