Navigating Back to the Previous Route in react-router-dom v6

When building React applications, one common challenge developers face is navigating between different routes seamlessly. Particularly, you might find yourself wanting to go back to a previous route. In earlier versions of react-router-dom, this was easily accomplished using the history object. However, with the significant updates in version 6, the approach has changed.

In this guide, we will explore how you can implement a go back functionality using react-router-dom v6, ensuring you can keep your application's navigation smooth and user-friendly.

The Challenge: Going Back in Routing

In earlier versions, we could navigate back to a previous route using the history object, specifically like this:

While this method was straightforward, developers using version 6 of react-router-dom might wonder how to achieve the same effect. The answer lies in a new feature provided in the library.

The Solution: Using useNavigate

In react-router-dom v6, the useNavigate hook comes into play. This hook allows us to programmatically navigate through our application, including going back to the previous route. Here’s how you can implement it.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Import the Hook: Begin by importing the useNavigate hook from react-router-dom library in your component.

Add the Button: Inside your component, you can create a button that calls navigate(-1) when clicked. The -1 parameter tells the application to go back one step in the browsing history.

Example Code

Here is the complete example for better understanding:

Conclusion

Using the useNavigate hook in react-router-dom v6 simplifies the way you handle route navigation in your applications. Instead of relying on the history object, which is no longer directly available, you can easily navigate back to a previous route using a simple function call.

By utilizing navigate(-1), you enhance user experience through straightforward navigation. Keep your application intuitive and accessible—implement this approach today!
