Answer:
The error message “usenavigate() may be used only in the context of a <router> component” typically occurs when trying to use the useRouter hook or the useHistory hook outside of a component that is wrapped in a router.
Here’s an example to illustrate this:
// Import necessary dependencies
import { BrowserRouter, Route, Switch, Link, useRouter, useHistory } from 'react-router-dom';
// Define a component without a router
const MyComponent = () => {
const router = useRouter(); // This will throw an error
return (
My Component
);
};
// Wrap your main component in a router
const App = () => {
return (
// More routes...
);
};
export default App;
In the example above, the MyComponent tries to use the useRouter hook outside of a router component, which results in the mentioned error message. To fix this error, we need to wrap the component in a router, such as BrowserRouter in this case.
By wrapping your components in a router, you will have access to the necessary routing functionalities and the error should be resolved.
