API
const [handleBack, handleForward] = useBrowserHistory( name, isActive, onBack, onForward );
|Key | Type | Description |
|----|------|----------|
|name|string
|(required) The unique name to be used inside the browser history state. |
|isActive|bool
|(required) Whether or not the entry should exist in the browser history state. For example, in the case of a modal, this should be set to true
when the modal is open / visible, and false
when it's closed.|
|onBack|func
|A callback that is fired when the back button is pressed, or when the handleBack
(first arg returned by useBrowserHistory
) function is called and the browser history state has been cleaned up.|
|onForward|func
|Exactly like onBack
, but for the forward button. You can use this to re-perform something if the user clicks back then forward (like in the example GIF above), to do something such as re-opening a modal.|
