Can anyone please tell me how I can go back to the previous page rather than a specific route?
When using this code:
var BackButton = React.createClass({
mixins: [Router.Navigation],
render: function() {
return (
<button
className="button icon-left"
onClick={this.navigateBack}>
Back
</button>
);
},
navigateBack: function(){
this.goBack();
}
});
Get this error, goBack() was ignored because there is no router history
Here are my routes:
// Routing Components
Route = Router.Route;
RouteHandler = Router.RouteHandler;
DefaultRoute = Router.DefaultRoute;
var routes = (
<Route name="app" path="/" handler={OurSchoolsApp}>
<DefaultRoute name="home" handler={HomePage} />
<Route name="add-school" handler={AddSchoolPage} />
<Route name="calendar" handler={CalendarPage} />
<Route name="calendar-detail" path="calendar-detail/:id" handler={CalendarDetailPage} />
<Route name="info-detail" path="info-detail/:id" handler={InfoDetailPage} />
<Route name="info" handler={InfoPage} />
<Route name="news" handler={NewsListPage} />
<Route name="news-detail" path="news-detail/:id" handler={NewsDetailPage} />
<Route name="contacts" handler={ContactPage} />
<Route name="contact-detail" handler={ContactDetailPage} />
<Route name="settings" handler={SettingsPage} />
</Route>
);
Router.run(routes, function(Handler){
var mountNode = document.getElementById('app');
React.render(<Handler /> , mountNode);
});
useNavigate
Hook is the recommended way to go back now:
import { useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';
function App() {
const navigate = useNavigate();
return (
<>
<button onClick={() => navigate(-1)}>go back</button>
<button onClick={() => navigate(1)}>go forward</button>
</>
);
}
Codesandbox sample (broken link)
<button onClick={() => navigate(-2)}>go two back</button>
<button onClick={() => navigate(2)}>go two forward</button>
navigate("users") // go to users route, like history.push
navigate("users", { replace: true }) // go to users route, like history.replace
navigate("users", { state }) // go to users route, pass some state in
useNavigate
replaces useHistory
to support upcoming React Suspense/Concurrent mode better.
