Having a route that has no history

[gentledepp]

Hi!
I went through the different navigation types, but could not find anything suitable.

Basically what we have is some route "authenticate" that can be called from any other route.
It is shown when the user has to login again (maybe the refresh-token was invalid or something)
Once logged in, I do not want to be able to "navigate back" to that view.

So I need a route that can be shown, but once the user leaves that page, does not create a history entry (speaking in browser language)

Is there any way I can achieve that?

Thanks!

@OmidID I guess my problem here is that I do not understand what the difference is between the navigationtypes:

public enum NavigateType
{
	Normal,
	ReplaceRoot,
	Modal,
	Replace,
	Top,
	Clear,
	Pop,
	HostedItemChange,
}

Could you please add documentation to the readme.md? 😇

Hello @gentledepp

Yes, exactly. You can find your answer in the NavigateType.

Normal -> Add item in the navigation stack.
ReplaceRoot -> Clear entire stack and add current page to the root (History will be clear fully)
Modal -> It just open such as dialog (Maybe this one can help the case of login you have)
Replace -> Last page in the stack will remove and current page will add.
Top -> Find exists page in the stack and bring it to the top of the stack.
Clear -> Find exists page in stack and remove any top page until reach to found item.
Pop -> Do the back job
HostedItemChange -> Find the track page (Mainly use by item navigation or tab page change)

I will add it to the WIKI ;)

Thank you so much for the answer.
Can you maybe also add a scenario to the special navigation types like top and hosteditemchange? Just so people know when to use them 😀
But then I guess I messed something up. Because those navigate types do not change anything in my sample.

Also I do not know how to implement the login page now. Because it should not be kept on the navigatesrack. But I do not want to use Replace root since I want to keep the navigation history as such 🤔

Can I use "Modal" even if a page is not within some host?

Hello @gentledepp You can take a looks to the example app and you can see welcome page get out from stack history once you click on login button.

for the example of HostedItemChange i can mention tab change or left side menu when user click. It can handle the heretically host node change.

Can you share an example app that i can check why you are blocked?
