navMap

navMap is a software component or library designed to facilitate navigation within an application's user interface. Its primary function is to manage and represent the structure of navigation paths, allowing developers to define how users move between different screens, views, or states. This typically involves establishing a graph-like structure where nodes represent destinations and edges represent the transitions between them.

By abstracting navigation logic, navMap helps to centralize and organize routing, making it easier to maintain and scale complex applications. It often provides features for handling deep linking, programmatic navigation, and managing navigation arguments or parameters passed between screens. Developers can define navigation rules, such as specifying which screens are accessible from others, and how to return to previous states.

The implementation of navMap can vary, but common approaches involve using data structures like dictionaries or arrays to store navigation information. Many modern frameworks and platforms offer their own implementations or encourage the use of libraries that adhere to navMap principles. This promotes a more structured and predictable user experience by ensuring consistent navigation flows throughout the application. Its goal is to simplify the often intricate task of managing user movement within a digital product.
