## About :
- **Signature** - `export interface ChromeStart`
The chrome service is a high level UI service that is part of CoreStart (Core services exposed to the Plugin start lifecycle) and offers other plugins a way to add navigation controls to the UI, edit the document title, manipuate navlinks on global header as well as edit the recent accessed tab. It consists of these sub-services/components.

- NavControlsService : for registering new controls to be displayed in the navigation bar.
- NavLinksService : for manipulating nav links.
- RecentlyAccessedService : for recently accessed history.
- DocTitleService: for accessing and updating the document title
- UI : All the UI components,icons e.g. header, loaders.


- How to access ? add in interface `chrome: ChromeStart && chrome.servicesName => e.g chrome.docTitle.method`
- Where it is getting Registered/Executed ? [Staring Point](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards/blob/2.1/src/core/public/rendering/rendering_service.tsx)
- How header component is getting rendered ? `const chromeUi = chrome.getHeaderComponent(); `
- Chrome Methods </b> [See chrome interface/methods](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards/blob/2.1/src/core/public/chrome/chrome_service.tsx)

}
})
```

`get(id: string): ChromeNavLink | undefined`

Get the current state of all navlinks :-

`getAll(): Array<Readonly<ChromeNavLink>>`

Check whether or not a navlink exists :-

`has(id: string): boolean`

Remove all navlinks except the one matching the given id :-
