I upgraded the version of react-router-dom to
5.2.0
and it is working now.
In react-router-dom v6 useHistory() is replaced by useNavigate().
You can use:
import { useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';
const navigate = useNavigate();
navigate('/home');
If you must stick to the latest react-router-dom v6.0.0, then replace useHistory with useNavigate. Else, downgrade your react-router-dom to v5.2.0 and your code works as it should.
Replace useHistory with useNavigate then
const navigate = useNavigate();
and then replace history.push('/path') with navigate('/path')
Change history.replace('/path') with navigate('/path', { replace: true })
Want to use state in push/navigate do navigate('/path', { state: { name:'Xyz' }})
import { useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';
const navigate = useNavigate();
const confirm = (e) => {
navigate.push('/')
}
None of the answers actually mention how to replicate the methods which used to be available from the v5 useHistory hook but which are no longer available in v6 e.g. goBack, goForward, go. The following example is taken from the migration guide:
useHistory hook:// This is a React Router v5 app
import { useHistory } from "react-router-dom";
function App() {
const { go, goBack, goForward } = useHistory();
return (
<>
<button onClick={() => go(-2)}>
Go 2 pages back
</button>
<button onClick={goBack}>Go back</button>
<button onClick={goForward}>Go forward</button>
<button onClick={() => go(2)}>
Go 2 pages forward
</button>
</>
);
}
navigate method from useNavigate hook:// This is a React Router v6 app
import { useNavigate } from "react-router-dom";
function App() {
const navigate = useNavigate();
return (
<>
<button onClick={() => navigate(-2)}>
Go 2 pages back
</button>
<button onClick={() => navigate(-1)}>Go back</button>
<button onClick={() => navigate(1)}>
Go forward
</button>
<button onClick={() => navigate(2)}>
Go 2 pages forward
</button>
</>
);
}
