using history with react-router-dom v6

I use react-router-dom version 6 and when I use this.props.history.push('/UserDashboard') it does not work. I changed it to

const history = createBrowserHistory();
history.push('/UserDashboard')

but I still have a problem that when i would like to redirect to /UserDashboard just the link change and the page still the first one??

any help??**

        handleSubmit(event){
       
    
        event.preventDefault();
        const history = createBrowserHistory();
        axios({
          method: "POST", 
          url:"http://localhost:3001/users/login", 
          data:  this.state
        }).then((response)=>{
          console.log(response.data.user.admin)
          if (response.data.success === true && response.data.user.admin === false){
           
                  const history = createBrowserHistory();
                  history.push({
                   pathname:"/users",
                   state:{
                   Key : response.data.user }
     });
    
        
           
          }else if(response.statusCode === 401 ){
            alert("Invalid username or password");
           window.location.reload(false);
          }
        })
      }

my routes.js file:

    import React from 'react';
    import { Navigate } from 'react-router-dom';
    import DashboardLayout from './Pages/DashboardLayout';
    import AccountView from './Pages/views/account/AccountView';

    const routes = [
     {
     path: 'users',
     element: <DashboardLayout />,
     children: [
      { path: 'account', element: <AccountView /> },

      { path: 'dashboard', element: <DashboardView /> },
      { path: 'products', element: <ProductListView /> },
      { path: 'settings', element: <SettingsView /> }
      ]
     },
    {
    path: '/',
    element: <Home />,
    },
    {
    path: 'about',
    element: <About />
    },
     {path: 'partners',
     element: <Partners />,
    
    },
    {
    path: 'services',
    element: <Services />,
    
    },
    {
    path: 'contactus',
    element: <ContactUs />,
    
    },
    {
    path: 'login',
    element: <Login />,
    
     },{
    path: 'RD',
    element: <RD />,
    
    },
    {
    path: 'apply',
    element: <Apply />,
    
     },
     {
    path: 'partnership',
    element: <PartnerShip />,
    
     },
     {
    path: 'News',
    element: <News />,
    
     }
    ];

    export default routes;

Solution 1:

In react-router-dom v6, you need to use useNavigate rather than useHistory.

See example from https://reacttraining.com/blog/react-router-v6-pre/

import React from 'react';
import { useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';

function App() {
  let navigate = useNavigate();
  let [error, setError] = React.useState(null);

  async function handleSubmit(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    let result = await submitForm(event.target);
    if (result.error) {
      setError(result.error);
    } else {
      navigate('success');
    }
  }

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      // ...
    </form>
  );
}

Solution 2:

Based on react-router-dom source code, you may do something like this :

import { Router } from 'react-router-dom';

const CustomRouter = ({
  basename,
  children,
  history,
}) => {
  const [state, setState] = React.useState({
    action: history.action,
    location: history.location,
  });

  React.useLayoutEffect(() => history.listen(setState), [history]);

  return (
    <Router
      basename={basename}
      children={children}
      location={state.location}
      navigationType={state.action}
      navigator={history}
    />
  );
};

Then make your history come from outside :

import { createBrowserHistory } from 'history';

const history = createBrowserHistory();

<CustomRouter history={history}>
 ...
</CustomRouter>

Solution 3:

We all know there is no longer { useHistory } kind of thing in react-router-dom v6. There is better a way to do a work of useHistory.

First import useNavigate ...

import { useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';

then just do this after importing

function Test() {
    const history = useNavigate();

    function handleSubmit(e) {
        e.preventDefault();

        history('/home');
    }

    return (
        <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
            <button>Subimt</button>
        </form>
    )
}
