# history [![Travis][build-badge]][build] [![npm package][npm-badge]][npm] [build-badge]: https://img.shields.io/travis/mjackson/history/master.svg?style=flat-square [build]: https://travis-ci.org/mjackson/history [npm-badge]: https://img.shields.io/npm/v/history.svg?style=flat-square [npm]: https://www.npmjs.org/package/history [`history`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/history) is a JavaScript library that lets you easily manage session history in browsers, testing environments, and (soon, via [React Native](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/)) native devices. `history` abstracts away the differences in these different platforms and provides a minimal API that lets you manage the history stack, navigate, confirm navigation, and persist state between sessions. `history` is library-agnostic and may easily be included in any JavaScript project. ## Docs & Help - [Guides and API Docs](/docs#readme) - [Changelog](/CHANGES.md) - [Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/react-router) For questions and support, please visit [our channel on Reactiflux](https://discord.gg/0ZcbPKXt5bYaNQ46) or [Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/react-router). The issue tracker is *exclusively* for bug reports and feature requests. ## Installation Using [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/): $ npm install --save history Then with a module bundler like [webpack](https://webpack.github.io/), use as you would anything else: ```js // using an ES6 transpiler, like babel import { createHistory } from 'history' // not using an ES6 transpiler var createHistory = require('history').createHistory ``` The UMD build is also available on [npmcdn](https://npmcdn.com): ```html <script src="https://npmcdn.com/history/umd/History.min.js"></script> ``` You can find the library on `window.History`. ## Basic Usage A "history" encapsulates navigation between different screens in your app, and notifies listeners when the current screen changes. ```js import { createHistory } from 'history' const history = createHistory() // Listen for changes to the current location. The // listener is called once immediately. const unlisten = history.listen(location => { console.log(location.pathname) }) history.push({ pathname: '/the/path', search: '?a=query', state: { the: 'state' } }) // When you're finished, stop the listener. unlisten() ``` You can find many more examples [in the documentation](https://github.com/mjackson/history/tree/master/docs)! ## Thanks A big thank-you to [Dan Shaw](https://www.npmjs.com/~dshaw) for letting us use the `history` npm package name! Thanks Dan! Also, thanks to [BrowserStack](https://www.browserstack.com/) for providing the infrastructure that allows us to run our build in real browsers.
