Navigation: currententrychange event
Baseline
2026
Newly available
Since January 2026, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.
The currententrychange event of the Navigation interface is fired when the Navigation.currentEntry has changed.
This event will fire for:
-
Same-document navigations (e.g.,
back()ortraverseTo()). -
Replacements (i.e., a
navigate()call withhistoryset toreplace). -
Other calls that change the entry's state (e.g.,
updateCurrentEntry(), or the History API'sHistory.replaceState()).
This event fires after the navigation is committed, meaning that the visible URL has changed and the NavigationHistoryEntry update has occurred. It is useful for migrating from usage of older API features like the hashchange or popstate events.
Syntax
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("currententrychange", (event) => { })
oncurrententrychange = (event) => { }
Event type
A NavigationCurrentEntryChangeEvent. Inherits from Event.
Examples

navigation.addEventListener("currententrychange", () => {
const data = navigation.currentEntry.getState();
submitAnalyticsData(data.analytics);
});
Setting up a per-entry event:
navigation.addEventListener("currententrychange", () => {
navigation.currentEntry.addEventListener("dispose", genericDisposeHandler);
});
