Islands-router programmatic client-side navigation

[CodingFlow]

Enabling islands-router on an SSR with islands app allows for client-side navigation via the router when clicking links and using browser history. But I tried using use_navigate, and get the "You cannot call use_navigate outside a ." panic in the browser. I wanted to navigate to another pager after a server function returns.

How to programmatically navigate to another page via router with view transition on the client-side?

Correct, there is no client-side routing functionality so you can't use use_navigate.

You could

1. use a form or a link to submit the server function
2. call window().location().set_href() to navigate in the browser (this won't go through the islands-router view transition)
3. programmatically generate an <a> and click it

I'd probably design around option 1 as most in spirit with the intention of islands, which is progressive enhancement of HTML with minimal WASM.
