I want to route to different pages through dropdown selection. I'm new to react & next, and i have no idea how to do it.
"use client"
import Link from 'next/link';
function Home() {
return (
<main>
<h1>Hello</h1>
<select name="cars" id="cars">
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="volvo">
<Link href='/volvo'>Volvo</Link>
</option>
<option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
</main>
)
}
export default Home;
Whenever i select volvo, it should route to the volvo page.
What you're defining isn't something specific to Next.js or some error; do you know how events work? That’s basic JS. Because all you have to do is listen for the onChange event and redirect the user to the correct page.
'use client';
import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
export default function Home() {
const router = useRouter();
return (
<main>
<h1>Hello</h1>
<select
onChange={(e) => {
if (e.target.value === 'volvo') {
router.push('/volvo');
}
}}
>
<option value='saab'>Saab</option>
<option value='volvo'>Volvo</option>
<option value='mercedes'>Mercedes</option>
<option value='audi'>Audi</option>
</select>
</main>
);
}
