Examples

No navigation (default)

# Omit the ui section entirely

Back and forward only

ui:
  showBackButton: true
  showForwardButton: true

Full navigation bar

ui:
  showBackButton: true
  showForwardButton: true
  showReloadButton: true
  showHomeButton: true

When to show navigation

  • Single-page apps — typically no navigation needed
  • Multi-page apps or apps that link to documentation — consider back/forward buttons
  • Apps that make network requests — a reload button is helpful for recovery
  • Apps with a defined home screen — use the home button to always return to the root
