The Lightning navigation service provides the ability to navigate from one Lightning Component to another and helps users to navigate to standard object pages in Lightning Experience. In this chapter, we will familiarize ourselves with the Lightning Navigation Component and its usage.

Lightning Console apps provide the ability to open multiple subtabs from the main tab to enhance the productivity of the user. They do this by allowing us to view or compare data from multiple records. The console APIs provide a rich set of JavaScript components for developers to control navigation. In this chapter, we will see how to work with the console APIs using relevant code snippets.

We will also explore some standard Lightning events that are baked into the Salesforce Lightning container in order to navigate to create records and edit forms.

In this chapter, we will explore the following topics:

• Adding navigation support using Lightning :navigation
• Lightning Component support in the Lightning Console
• The workspace API
• The Utility Bar
