• .NET Core 8.0

Features

What is NavigationManagerUtils?

This is an injectable service for Blazor applications that builds upon the standard NavigationManager, adding commonly-used features for navigation and URL management.

Example Usage

To see this utility in action, refer to the NavManUtilTest project—a simple Blazor Server application that demonstrates its functionality.

Getting Started

Installation

Add the service to your application during configuration:

builder.Services.AddTransient<NavManUtils>();

Injecting the Service

1. In Code
   Use the [Inject] attribute:

   [Inject] private NavManUtils NavMan { get; set; }

2. In Razor Components
   Use the @inject directive:

   @inject NavManUtils NavMan

Available Methods

1. Navigate(string url, bool force = true)
   Navigate to the specified URL. The force parameter determines whether to reload the page even if already on the target URL.

2. [DEPRECATED] Reload(bool force = true)
   Reload the current page. The force parameter determines whether to reload from the server.

3. UrlHasParameters()
   Returns true if the current URL contains query parameters, otherwise false.

4. GetUrlParameters(bool removeWhitespaceEntityInValue = false, bool removeWhitespaceEntityInKey = false)
   Retrieves the query parameters from the current URL as a Dictionary<string, string>.

   • removeWhitespaceEntityInValue: Strips %20 whitespace entities from parameter values.
   • removeWhitespaceEntityInKey: Strips %20 whitespace entities from parameter keys.

5. GetNavMan()
   Provides access to the underlying NavigationManager instance without requiring separate injection.
