This article will explain how to use ‘e.force:navigateToURL’ lightning component to navigate the system to any URL (visualforce page, record, any custom URL).

Syntax of ‘e.force:navigateToURL’

var urlEvent = $A.get("e.force:navigateToURL");

1.       URl – Set this parameter to the required URL that you want to redirect, in this example ‘recordId’ is my variable with has the Id of the record I want to redirect. We can use static URL (e.g https://www.salesforce.com ) as well.

    <lightning:button label="Go To Account" onclick="{!c.redirect}"/>
</aura:component>

RedirectToAccController.js

({
redirect : function(component, event, helper) {
       helper.redirect(component, event, helper);
})

RedirectToAccHelper.js

({
                redirect : function(component, event, helper) {
       var urlEvent = $A.get("e.force:navigateToURL");
        urlEvent.setParams({
            "url": "https://www.salesforce.com" ,
            "isredirect": "true"
