Question

I am using the last version react-router module  named react-router-dom  that has become the default when developing web applications with React  I want to know how to make a redirection after a POST request  I have been making this code  but after the request  nothing happens  I review on the web  but all the data is about previous versions of the react router  and no with the last update   Code   import React    PropTypes   from  react   import ReactDOM from  react-dom   import   BrowserRouter   from  react-router-dom   import   Redirect   from  react-router   import SignUpForm from        register components SignUpForm   import styles from    PagesStyles css   import axios from  axios   import Footer from        shared components Footer    class SignUpPage extends React Component     constructor props        super props        this state           errors            client            userclient              clientname              clientbusinessname              password              confirmPassword                         this processForm   this processForm bind this       this changeClient   this changeClient bind this          changeClient event        const field   event target name      const client   this state client      client field    event target value       this setState         client                async processForm event        event preventDefault         const userclient   this state client userclient      const clientname   this state client clientname      const clientbusinessname   this state client clientbusinessname      const password   this state client password      const confirmPassword   this state client confirmPassword      const formData     userclient  clientname  clientbusinessname  password  confirmPassword         axios post   signup   formData    headers    Accept    application json             then  response    gt            this setState             errors                           lt Redirect to      gt     Here  nothings happens          catch  error    gt            const errors   error response data errors   error response data errors               errors summary   error response data message           this setState             errors                              render         return          lt div className  styles section  gt           lt div className  styles container  gt             lt img src  require    images lisa principal bg png    className  styles fullImageBackground    gt             lt SignUpForm              onSubmit  this processForm              onChange  this changeClient              errors  this state errors              client  this state client              gt             lt Footer   gt           lt  div gt         lt  div gt                export default SignUpPage

You have to use setState to set a property that will render the  lt Redirect gt  inside your render   method   E g   class MyComponent extends React Component     state         redirect  false        handleSubmit          axios post              then      gt  this setState   redirect  true             render          const   redirect     this state        if  redirect           return  lt Redirect to   somewhere   gt                return  lt RenderYourForm  gt       You can also see an example in the official documentation  https   reacttraining com react-router web example auth-workflow    That said  I would suggest you to put the API call inside a service or something  Then you could just use the history object to route programatically  This is how the integration with redux works   But I guess you have your reasons to do it this way

you can write a hoc for this purpose and write a method call redirect  here is the code    import React   useState  from  react   import  Redirect  from  react-router-dom    const RedirectHoc    WrappedComponent    gt       gt        const  routName  setRoutName    useState          const redirect    to    gt            setRoutName to                if  routName            return  lt Redirect to        routName   gt            return            lt  gt               lt WrappedComponent redirect  redirect   gt           lt   gt             export default RedirectHoc

Alternatively  you can use withRouter  You can get access to the history object s properties and the closest  lt Route gt  s match via the withRouter higher-order component  withRouter will pass updated match  location  and history props to the wrapped component whenever it renders   import React from  react  import PropTypes from  prop-types  import   withRouter   from  react-router      A simple component that shows the pathname of the current location class ShowTheLocation extends React Component     static propTypes         match  PropTypes object isRequired      location  PropTypes object isRequired      history  PropTypes object isRequired        render         const   match  location  history     this props      return  lt div gt You are now at  location pathname  lt  div gt           Create a new component that is  connected   to borrow redux    terminology  to the router  const ShowTheLocationWithRouter   withRouter ShowTheLocation    Or just   import   withRouter   from  react-router-dom   const Button   withRouter    history      gt       lt button     type  button      onClick       gt    history push   new-location         gt      Click Me     lt  button gt

I found that place to put the redirect complent of react-router is in the method render  but if you want to redirect after some validation  by example  the best way to redirect is using the old reliable  window location href  i e   evalSuccessResponse data      if data code   200       window location href   urlOneSignHome      else         TODO Something             When you are programming React Native never will need to go outside of the app  and the mechanism to open another app is completely different

React Router v5 now allows you to simply redirect using history push   thanks to the useHistory   hook   import   useHistory   from  react-router   function HomeButton       let history   useHistory      function handleClick         history push   home          return        lt button type  button  onClick  handleClick  gt        Go home      lt  button gt
