How to use the useHistory hook in React router

Learn, how to use the useHistory hook in react-router.

If your are new to hooks checkout my react hooks introduction tutorial.

useHistory hook

The useHistory hook helps us to access the history object, which is used to navigate programmatically to other routes using push and replace methods.

Here is an example:

App.js
import React from "react";
import { useHistory } from "react-router-dom";
export default function App() {
  const history = useHistory();
  function navigateToHome() {
    history.push("/");  }

  return (
    <div className="App">
      <h1>Hello react</h1>
      <button onClick={navigateToHome}>Home</button>    </div>
  );
}

In the above example, we first imported useHistory hook from the react-router-dom library.

Inside the App component we invoked userHistory() hook which returns a history object.

The navigateToHome function is used to navigate the user to a home route (/).
