How to Replace a Link To with history.push in React Table Cells

When developing applications using React, you often need to navigate between different pages or components. A common method for navigation is using the Link component from react-router. However, there may come a time when you want to replace a Link To with the history.push method for navigating programmatically. This guide will guide you through that process.

The Problem

You have a piece of code where you are currently using a Link component inside a TableCell to link to a specific route associated with an item's run_id. Here’s the original code:

While this approach works well, you may want to replace it with a history.push function call, giving you different control over routing. Let’s explore how you can achieve this.

The Solution

To replace the Link To with history.push, it’s essential first to understand that history.push changes the route based on programmatic actions rather than user clicks on links. Thus, if you are committed to using history.push, follow these steps.

Step 1: Import useHistory

You must import the useHistory hook from the react-router-dom package, which provides access to the history instance that you may use to navigate.

Step 2: Create the history Instance

Within your component, create an instance of history using the useHistory hook:

Step 3: Modify the TableCell

Now we will update the TableCell to include an onClick event handler. Inside this handler, we will invoke history.push() with the desired route.

Here’s how the modified code looks:

Why Use onClick?

Using onClick means that when a user clicks on the cell, the navigation will occur. This method provides direct feedback that mirrors the behavior of a clickable link.

Conclusion

In summary, while Link components are ideal for handling navigation in React applications, there are scenarios where history.push could be a better fit, particularly when you want more control over routing actions. In this guide, we demonstrated how to effectively replace a Link To with history.push in a table cell while ensuring your code remains clear and functional.
