isConsoleNavigation() for Lightning Experience

Determines whether the app it’s used within uses console navigation. This method isn’t supported for Lightning Web Components (LWC).

To determine if a component is using console navigation with LWC, see IsConsoleNavigation context wire adapter.

Arguments

None.

Aura Components Sample Code

This component has a button that, when pressed, prints whether the current app is using console navigation.

Component code:

1<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes" access="global" >
2    <lightning:workspaceAPI aura:id="workspace" />
3    <lightning:button label="Is Console Navigation?" onclick="{! c.handleIsConsoleNavigation }" />
4</aura:component>

Controller code:

1({
2    handleIsConsoleNavigation : function(component, event, helper) {
3        var workspaceAPI = component.find("workspace");
4        workspaceAPI.isConsoleNavigation().then(function(response) {
5            console.log(response);
6        })
7        .catch(function(error) {
8            console.log(error);
9        });
10    }
11})

Response

If the current app uses console navigation, this method returns a promise that resolves to true when successful, or false otherwise.
