Protractor browser navigation commands ?

We have 4 navigate methods in protractor:

1. back() - It is used to navigate to backward web page in browser history.
2. forward() - It is used to navigate to forward web page in browser history.
3. refresh() - It is used to refresh the current web page
4. to() - It is used to navigate to new url.

Please check below code script:

describe('Protractor - navigate()', function () {
    beforeAll(async function () {
        await browser.get("https://keeplearners.blogspot.com/");
    });

    it('Code script to use navigate() in protractor', async function () {
        await browser.navigate().to("https://keeplearners.blogspot.com/2018/03/Angular-elements.html");
        await console.log("Navigated to url");
        await browser.navigate().back();
        await console.log("Navigated to previous(back) page");
        await browser.navigate().forward();
        await console.log("Navigated to forward page");
        await browser.navigate().refresh();
        await console.log("Refreshed the current web page");
    });
});
