Imperative Navigation vs Declarative Navigation
Developers should use imperative navigation when they need to programmatically manage navigation based on runtime conditions, such as after form submissions, authentication checks, or error handling meets developers should learn and use declarative navigation when building complex applications with multiple screens or views, such as single-page applications (spas), mobile apps, or progressive web apps, as it simplifies navigation management, reduces boilerplate code, and enhances testability. Here's our take.
Imperative Navigation

- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Imperative Navigation if: You want it is essential for implementing complex workflows, like multi-step wizards, or when declarative routing (e and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Declarative Navigation if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable in frameworks like react with react router, vue over what Imperative Navigation offers.
