With react-router I can use the Link element to create links which are natively handled by react router.
I see internally it calls this.context.transitionTo(...).
I want to do a navigation. Not from a link, but from a dropdown selection (as an example). How can I do this in code? What is this.context?
I saw the Navigation mixin, but can I do this without mixins?
Just use useNavigate for simplicity with the latest version of react
Newfile.js
import { useNavigate } from "react-router-dom";
const Newfile = () => {
const navigate = useNavigate();
....
navigate("yourdesiredlocation");
....
}
export default Newfile;
Use useNavigate feature like above in your code.
Maybe not the best solution, but it gets the job done:
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
// Create functional component Post
export default Post = () => (
<div className="component post">
<button className="button delete-post" onClick={() => {
// ... delete post
// then redirect, without page reload, by triggering a hidden Link
document.querySelector('.trigger.go-home').click();
}}>Delete Post</button>
<Link to="/" className="trigger go-home hidden"></Link>
</div>
);
Basically, logic tied to one action (in this case a post deletion) will end up calling a trigger for redirect. This is not ideal, because you will add a DOM node 'trigger' to your markup just so you can conveniently call it when needed. Also, you will directly interact with the DOM, which in a React component may not be desired.
Still, this type of redirect is not required that often. So one or two extra, hidden links in your component markup would not hurt that much, especially if you give them meaningful names.
This worked for me, and special imports were not needed:
<input
type="button"
name="back"
id="back"
class="btn btn-primary"
value="Back"
onClick={() => { this.props.history.goBack() }}
/>
There are a few ways to do programmatic routing in React.js using React Router without using the Link component:
Use the useNavigate hook.
The useNavigate hook allows you to navigate to a different route programmatically. To use it, you first need to import it from React Router:
import { useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';
Then, you can call the useNavigate hook inside of your component to get a function that you can use to navigate to a different route:
const navigate = useNavigate();
To navigate to a different route, simply call the navigate function with the path of the route that you want to navigate to:
navigate('/new-page');
You can also pass additional options to the navigate function, such as the state of the route and whether or not to replace the current history entry:
navigate('/new-page', {
state: {
message: 'Hello from the new page!',
},
replace: true,
});
Use the history object.
The history object is a global object that allows you to manipulate the browser's history stack. You can use it to navigate to a different route, go back or forward in history, and more.
To access the history object, you can use the useHistory hook from React Router:
import { useHistory } from 'react-router-dom';
Then, you can call the push(), replace(), and goBack() methods on the history object to navigate to different routes:
history.push('/new-page');
history.replace('/new-page');
history.goBack();
Use the <Navigate> component.
The <Navigate> component is a new component in React Router v6 that allows you to navigate to a different route programmatically. To use it, you first need to import it from React Router:
import { Navigate } from 'react-router-dom';
Then, you can use the <Navigate> component in your component like this:
<Navigate to='/new-page' />
This will navigate to the /new-page route immediately.
Which method you choose to use for programmatic routing will depend on your specific needs and preferences. However, all of these methods are valid and can be used to navigate to different routes programmatically without using the Link component.
Here is an example of how to use the useNavigate hook to programmatically navigate to a different route when a button is clicked:
import { useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';
const Button = () => {
const navigate = useNavigate();
const handleClick = () => {
navigate('/new-page');
};
return (
<button onClick={handleClick}>
Navigate to new page
</button>
);
};
export default Button;
This will navigate to the /new-page route when the button is clicked.
const navigate = useNavigate(); Seems to me it should just be UseNavigate('/new-page').
Assuming that you won't be needing to navigate during the initial render itself (for which you can use <Redirect> component), this is what we are doing in our application.
Define an empty route which returns null. This will allow you to get the access to the history object. You need to do this at the top level where your Router is defined.
Now you can do all the things that can be done on history, like history.push(), history.replace(), history.go(-1), etc.!
import React from 'react';
import { HashRouter, Route } from 'react-router-dom';
let routeHistory = null;
export function navigateTo(path) {
if(routeHistory !== null) {
routeHistory.push(path);
}
}
export default function App(props) {
return (
<HashRouter hashType="noslash">
<Route
render={({ history }) => {
routeHistory = history;
return null;
}}
/>
{/* Rest of the App */}
</HashRouter>
);
}
react-router-dom: 5.1.2
This site has 3 pages, all of which are rendered dynamically in the browser.
Although the page does not ever refresh, notice how React Router keeps the URL up to date as you navigate through the site. This preserves the browser history, making sure things like the back button and bookmarks work properly
A Switch looks through all its children elements and renders the first one whose path matches the current URL. Use a any time you have multiple routes, but you want only one of them to render at a time
import React from "react";
import {
BrowserRouter as Router,
Switch,
Route,
Link
} from "react-router-dom";
export default function BasicExample() {
return (
<Router>
<div>
<ul>
<li>
<Link to="/">Home</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/about">About</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/dashboard">Dashboard</Link>
</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/">
<Home />
</Route>
<Route path="/about">
<About />
</Route>
<Route path="/dashboard">
<Dashboard />
</Route>
</Switch>
</div>
</Router>
);
}
// You can think of these components as "pages"
// in your app.
function Home() {
return (
<div>
<h2>Home</h2>
</div>
);
}
function About() {
return (
<div>
<h2>About</h2>
</div>
);
}
function Dashboard() {
return (
<div>
<h2>Dashboard</h2>
</div>
);
}```
Using the "useHistory" hook is the best option if you're using a newer version of React.
This is already mentioned that we can navigate in the last update React Router V6 (doesn't include useHistory) using useNavigate()
import { useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';
const myComponent = () => {
const navigate = useNavigate();
navigate('my_url');
...
}
But what I could not find here is calling navigate out of React component like navigating page inside redux-saga function to another page. Just in case, if you have the same question, here is what I found.
In your root component (I call that <App />)
import { useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';
import useBus from 'use-bus';
const App = () => {
const navigate = useNavigate();
useBus('@@ui/navigate', (action) => navigate(action.payload.url), []);
...
}
Out of React component (in my case redux-saga function)
import { dispatch } from 'use-bus';
dispatch({ type: '@@ui/navigate', payload: { url: '/404' } });
Hope it's helpful!
there a lot of hooks and components that provided by latest version of react-router:
this built-in component by react-router redirected you to the path that you provide to it when it rendered
<Navigate to="/dashboard" />
Navigate element accepts to prop as the route path that you want to navigate to it, and some more props you can checkout this doc: https://reactrouter.com/en/main/components/navigate#navigate
Link element gives you the possibility to add clickable links like normal anchor
<Link to='/new-page'>new page</Link>
to prop as the route path that you want to navigate when user click on the element, checkout the docs for more https://reactrouter.com/en/main/components/link#link
NavLink is like the Link element with some additional features to get the state of the link, the most use case for this element is When building a navigation menu look at this example :
<NavLink
to="/home"
style={({ isActive }) => {
return isActive ? { color: "plum" } : {};
}}
>
Home
</NavLink>
if the current link is /home, the condition is true, isActive is a boolean that andicate is the current link is the same to the to one that you pass, more details about this one https://reactrouter.com/en/main/components/nav-link
useNavigate is hook provided by react-router, this hook return a function that accept the route path and additional options.
const navigate = useNavigate();
const onclickfn = ()=>{
navigate('/my-new-route')
}
when the onclickfn invoked react router redirects you to /my-new-route path
more about this hook here: https://reactrouter.com/en/main/hooks/use-navigate
useSearchParams is hook provided by react-router that help you to read or modify the query of your current URL
let [searchParams, setSearchParams] = useSearchParams();
searchParams.get('key') // to get the value of key
searchParams.set('key','abcd') // to modify the key query to abcd the url should be like: ?key=abcd
more details about this hook here: https://reactrouter.com/en/main/hooks/use-search-params#usesearchparams
You can try the onClick event in React and call a function to redirect to the specified location using useNavigate hook of React Router. You can directly use callback function in the onClick handler rather than specifying a different function. You first need to install react router DOM.
npm i react-router-dom
Try the below code
import { useNavigate } from "react-router-dom";
const Page = () => {
const navigate = useNavigate();
return (
<button onClick={() => navigate('/pagename')}>
Go To Page
</button>
);
}
Simply use useNavigate from react router dom
import { useNavigate } from "react-router-dom";
const MYComponent = () => {
const navigate = useNavigate();
navigate("Xyz/MYRoutes");
}
export default MYComponent;
Use useNavigate feature like above in your code.
You can tackle the option you want to let it do this thing.
<select>
<option onClick={() => <Navigate to="/home" />}> Option 1 </option>
</select>
This you'll find in react-router-dom also you can use the hook, useNavigation()
const navigate = useNavigation();
navigate("/home") // use it onClick or anywhere.
import react from "react";
// importing navigate from react-router-dom
import {useNavigate} from "react-router-dom";
function testNavigation() {
const navigate = useNavigate();
return (
<>
<button onClick={navigate("/")}> Test Navigate </button>
</>
)
}
please note: before use nagivate path "/" in onClick make sure you already initial this path to your app.jsx file in your project which is provided react-router-dom in route.
Just using the browser api, independent of any library
const navigate = (to) => {
window.history.pushState({}, ",", to);
};
this does not cause full page refresh. you can still use the browser back button
There are several ways to navigate programmatically:
history API [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History_API] eg: history("/route")push from connected-react-router eg: push({ pathname: "/route"})In React Router, you can programmatically navigate to a different route using the useHistory hook (for functional components) or the withRouter HOC (for class components). Here's how you can do it using the useHistory hook:
import React from 'react';
import { useHistory } from 'react-router-dom';
const MyComponent = () => {
const history = useHistory();
const handleClick = () => {
// Navigate to a different route programmatically
history.push('/new-route');
};
return (
<div>
<button onClick={handleClick}>Go to New Route</button>
</div>
);
};
React-router v6.27.0
import all required routing packages from react-router-dom & use them accordingly in your main app component.
import { BrowserRouter, Router, Route, Routes } from "react-router-dom";
function App() {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<div className="App">
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
</Routes>
</div>
</BrowserRouter>
);
}
Now, just create a element i.e.component like here Home, then inside of it navigate in different links:
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
function App() {
return (
<>
<Link to={`/Home`} className="text-blue-500 hover:underline">
Go To Home</Link>
</>
)
}
First, create a function component that handles navigation:
import React from 'react';
import { useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';
function NavHookButton({ onClick, children, to = '/' }) {
const navigate = useNavigate();
function handleNav() {
navigate(to);
}
return (
<button onClick={() => onClick(handleNav)}>
{children}
</button>
);
}
Next, use in your class and navigate to wherever:
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
handleSubmit = (navigate) => {
navigate();
};
render() {
return (
<div>
<NavHookButton onClick={this.handleSubmit} to={'/home'}>
Submit
</NavHookButton>
</div>
);
}
}
There are already a ton of answers which answer this question appropriately and accurately in the context of react router, but I'd like to take a moment to point out something that I didn't see mentioned in the other answers.
Kind of a stackoverflow trope to recommend doing something a different way than the original question asks, however in this case due to the age of the question I feel like the question would be stated differently in current time.
I'd recommend ditching react-router all together and just pushing to the native browser location, via window.location.href = [your url here], and checking path via regex (or exact) matching window.location.pathname against your intended path.
The simpler answer is usually the best one, and in this case, the use case for React Router is better served by the native Location object API.
