How to manipulate the URL with Javascript and JQuery?

Question

I want to make a page with a lot of Javascript interactions. However, while a user navigates through the page the URL must change too. So, when the user shares the URL or saves it, it can lead him to the actual state he was.

How can I do that?

Examples:

myapp.com/page1

myapp.com/page2

Answer 1

pushState, as seen on github
