NativeScript for Mobile App Development Navigation and Routing

Question 1

Which NativeScript module handles page-to-page navigation in a plain JS/TS app?

Frame

Answer

The Frame module manages the navigation stack, and you call Frame.topmost().navigate() to move between pages.

Question 2

Which method navigates to a new page in plain NativeScript?

frame.navigate() accepts a NavigationEntry object with moduleName pointing to the page file to navigate to.

Question 3

How do you pass data to a new page during navigation in NativeScript?

Accepted Answer

Using the context property in NavigationEntry

The `context` property of NavigationEntry carries any object to the destination page, accessible via the navigationContext on the target page.

Question 4

Which property of NavigationEntry clears the navigation back stack?
