Navigate With State Via @reach/router

react Written January 25, 2019

With @reach/router, you can programmatically change your route using the navigate function. This utilizes the Context API, so its available anywhere nested under your router. To provide some data to the destination location, include a state option in the navigate call.

const onSubmit = ({ data }) => {
  /* submit logic ... */

  navigate(nextPath, { state: { data }});
}

The component that renders in response to this navigation will have access to this state.

const NextComponent = ({ location }) => {
  const { data } = location.state;

  return (
    /* ... */
  )
}
