Navigating

You can use your app to navigate to certain handles or url's by using either the to() or the navigate() method. Both have their own use.

Notice the Route object has the to() and navigate() methods as well but they lack the first parameter

to

You can use the to() method to navigate to route handles. You can pass between 1 to 3 parameters to the method. The first one is the URL handle, you can also pass a route to it when you get it from the router for example, the second one are the parameters you want to fill in, for URL variables, and the third one is the data you want to pass (we've covered getting the navigation data in the section about the Request object)

namespace Application;
use Application\Core\App;

App::to('user/{user}', [
    'user' => 'username'
], [
    'my_data'
]);

navigate

You can use the navigate() method to navigate to simple urls. You can pass the url, navigation data and a boolean as parameters. The boolean specifies whether to include the current domain url or not (by default it's set to true).

namespace Application;
use Application\Core\App;

App::navigate('http://google.com', [], false);
// don't include the url here because we are navigating to a different domain

App::navigate('contact', []);
// do include the url here because we are navigating to an inner url
