[`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.

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`.
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()
```

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.
