# nav.view

Switches which view of the same content is shown: Following / For you, list / grid. Pass pressed on the active view

Component: [`<Action>`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/components/action.md) · Renders: `<a>` · Profile: [UI](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md)

## Example

```tsx
<Action intent="nav.view" href="/somewhere" pressed={isOn}>View</Action>
```

## Choosing between neighbours

Find the row that describes your element, and use the intent on the right.

| If it is for… | Use |
|---|---|
| Switches which view of the same content is shown: Following / For you, list / grid. Pass pressed on the active view | `nav.view` (this page) |
| Narrowing a list to matching items | [`choice.filter`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/choice/filter.md) |
| Switching between views of the same content (rather than [`nav.page`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/nav/page.md)) | `nav.view` (this page) |
| Switching between views of the same content (rather than [`layout.siblings`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/layout/siblings.md)) | `nav.view` (this page) |

## Connections

Declared in the registry, both directions. Where an intent is used in your own code is something check and the gallery see; this site has no app code.

## For registry authors

**Starter intents.** These are the intents `prongs add` puts in your registry, shown in this site’s theme. Yours are your own `registry.ts`: rename, restyle and add to them, and see them with `prongs add gallery`.

What this intent is built from and its entry in `components/prongs/registry.ts`. You only need this to change how it looks or to add an intent like it.

How nav.view resolves, and its definition

Each layer adds to the one before it; a later class wins over an earlier one that sets the same thing.
