Understanding the Uncaught TypeError When Using useHistory in React Router 6

If you've recently upgraded to React Router Version 6 and encountered the error message: "Uncaught TypeError: (0 , react_router_dom__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_2__.useHistory) is not a function," you're not alone. Many developers transitioning from React Router 5 to 6 face this issue. The problem arises because useHistory, a hook used in previous versions for navigation, has been replaced with useNavigate in the latest version of React Router.

The Code That Causes the Error

Here's the code snippet that typically generates this error when you try to run it in React Router 6:

When executing this code, you might see the following error message in your console:
Uncaught TypeError: (0 , react_router_dom__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_2__.useHistory) is not a function. This indicates that useHistory is no longer available or usable in your current React Router setup.

The Solution: Transitioning to useNavigate

To resolve this error, you need to update your import statement and code to incorporate the useNavigate hook instead of useHistory. The useNavigate function offers similar capabilities for navigation but is tailored for use in React Router 6.

Here’s How to Make the Change:

Step 1: Import useNavigate

Start by changing your import statement from useHistory to useNavigate:

Step 2: Update Your Component

Then, revise your component functions to utilize navigate, which is what you'll get from useNavigate:

Key Differences Between useHistory and useNavigate

Navigation Actions:

navigate('/') is analogous to using history.push('/').

navigate('/', { replace: true }) replaces the current entry instead of adding a new one, similar to history.replace('/').

navigate(-1) enables you to move back in history, equivalent to history.goBack().

Conclusion

By switching from useHistory to useNavigate, you can seamlessly fix the error and adapt your routing logic to be compatible with React Router 6. This change not only resolves the immediate error but also helps keep your codebase aligned with the latest best practices in React development.

Remember, keeping an eye on the documentation when upgrading libraries is crucial to avoiding such issues in the future. Happy coding!
