useNavigate

Description

https://api.reactrouter.com/v7/functions/react-router.useNavigate.html

Usage

useNavigate(into = NULL, as = "children", render = NULL, ...)

Arguments

into	A component (HTML tag or shiny.react-based element) that will receive the hook value as the specified prop.
as	Character. The name of the component's prop to inject the hook value into. Defaults to "children".
render	Optional JS function (value) => ReactNode used in place of into/as.
...	Additional props to pass to the component.

Details

Calls the useNavigate() hook and passes the navigate function to render (or injects it as a prop of into). The navigate function has signature navigate(to, options?), e.g. navigate("/about") or navigate(-1) to go back.

Because the hook returns a function (not a value), the render form is the natural way to use it:

  useNavigate(render = JS(
    "nav => <button onClick={() => nav('/about')}>Go</button>"
  ))
