Questions: exclude links and programmatically navigate about highway HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi @davidelanfranchi,

About the feature to disable Highway on some links you can simply use a target attribute set to self so that Highway knows you want to skip transitions and hard-reload the page... So there is no need to add options or custom attributes because HTML already provide the target="_self" attribute that tells the browser and Highway to keep the default behaviour of the link and open the page in the same window with hard-reload.

We'll try to document this ASAP...

Concerning the event fired before the navigation you can use the NAVIGATE_OUT event that is fired right after a link is clicked... However I cannot see why you would need to know which link is clicked but we have an example using events to check the active link in a menu and change its classname based on the URL visited. It uses the NAVIGATE_IN event for some purposes but you should get the idea...

For the last point I don't really get the idea... I understand the concept of having a method to trigger a navigation to an URL using JS but what do you mean by animating and overlay ? About the AJAX submission or forms submissions in general I think you should keep the default hard-reload behaviour IMO and avoid transitions for this kind of interactions... Anyway with a good use case this feature might be useful but for now we don't have one so we'll keep it in mind and come back to it if needed in the right time...

Thanks for your feedbacks mate !
