Navigate to a Web Page

Instead of using force:navigateToURL, we recommend navigating to web pages using the lightning:navigate component with the standard__webPage page type.

This code shows examples of navigating to a web page using the old force:navigateToURL event.

1// Old way to navigate to a web page
2$A.get("markup://force:navigateToURL").setParams({ 
3    url: 'http://salesforce.com', 
4}).fire();

Replace the previous code that uses force:navigateToURL with the following code. This example shows how to navigate to a web page using the standard__webPage page type. It assumes that you added <lightning:navigation aura:id="navigationService" /> in your component markup.

1cmp.find("navigationService").navigate({ 
2    type: "standard__webPage", 
3    attributes: { 
4        url: 'http://salesforce.com' 
5    } 
6});
