Programmatic Redirects

Redirect users programmatically after actions like form submission.

Use useHistory to redirect users after an action.

Using useHistory

import { useHistory } from "react-router-dom";

const Create = () => {
  const history = useHistory();

  const handleSubmit = (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    const blog = { title, body, author };

    fetch("http://localhost:8000/blogs", {
      method: "POST",
      headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
      body: JSON.stringify(blog)
    }).then(() => {
      history.push("/");
    });
  };
};

history.push("/") redirects the user to the homepage after the blog is created.
