# Navigation

> Commands for moving between pages and controlling browser history

## .navigate()

Goes to a URL. Waits for the page to finish loading before continuing.

```
.navigate('https://example.com')
.navigate('https://pt.wikipedia.org')
.navigate('chrome://history')
```

**Internally:**

1. Sends `Page.navigate` via CDP
2. Waits 2 seconds for the browser to start the navigation
3. Polls `document.readyState` until `complete` or `interactive`

<Warning>
  On heavy SPAs (React, Vue, Next.js), `readyState` becomes `complete` before the content renders. Use `.waitFor('#some-element')` after navigating to wait for something concrete.
</Warning>

***

## .reload()

Reloads the current page and waits for it to finish loading.

```
.reload()
```

***

## .goBack()

Navigates back in browser history. Equivalent to pressing the back button.

```
.goBack()
```

<Note>
  If there's no history to go back to, easybrawto prints a warning and continues without failing.
</Note>

***

## .goForward()

Navigates forward in browser history.

```
.goForward()
```

## Patterns

### Navigate and wait for specific content

```
functions openDashboard {
  .navigate('https://app.example.com/dashboard')
  .waitFor('#dashboard-content')        # wait for React to render
  .screenshot('dashboard.png')
}
```

### Navigate through a multi-page flow

```
functions multiStep {
  .navigate('https://site.com/step1')
  .waitLoad()
  .clickButton('Next')
  .waitFor('#step2-form')
  .insertText('name', 'John')
  .clickButton('Next')
  .waitForText('Step 3')
  .screenshot('step3.png')
}
```

### Use Chrome internal pages

```
functions openHistory {
  .navigate('chrome://history')
  .waitLoad()
  .screenshot('history.png')
}

functions openSettings {
  .navigate('chrome://settings')
  .waitLoad()
  .screenshot('settings.png')
}
```
