Hello, Friends today we will learn about Navigation Service in Lightning Web Component (LWC) Salesforce. First of all, we need to understand why we use the navigation service. With this service, we can navigate to any record page, tab, component, Pages and List, etc.

Lightning Experience, Lightning Communities, and Salesforce apps are the only ones that support lightning/navigation. Other containers, such as Lightning Components for Visualforce or Lightning Out, do not support it. These containers are accessible even when you’re in Lightning Experience or Salesforce. Pages, Records, and Lists can be navigated using the navigation services in LWC.

So first we will import the navigation service in LWC JS.

import { NavigationMixin } from 'lightning/navigation';

then extends in the class

export default class MyNavigation extends NavigationMixin(LightningElement) {}

Now we can use navigation service in LWC js. Let’s start with examples.

Navigate to the Edit Record From LWC :

// Navigate to Edit Contact Page
    navigateToEditContactPage() {
        this[NavigationMixin.Navigate]({
            type: 'standard__recordPage',
            attributes: {
                recordId: this.recordId,
                objectApiName: 'Contact',
                actionName: 'edit'
            },
        });
    }

Navigate to New Record From LWC :

// Navigate to New ContactPage
    navigateToNewContactPage() {
        this[NavigationMixin.Navigate]({

            attributes: {
                objectApiName: 'Contact',
