everyone.
So I have a an app, where the user can create posts, if you are the owner of this post, you can click on delete button which will show a modal and you can delete the post.
I can delete the post, but now I am trying to redirect the user back to the main page or any other page, however It doesn't work.
I tried using history.push, but it is not available, window.location.replace("/") doesn't work, and I even tried using this
const navigate = useNavigate();
and in the form submit
navigate("/");
This doesn't work at all, instead what happens is:
- The DELETE request gets send
- The post gets deleted from the database
- The page reloads and doesn't redirect the user
- The console throws fetch error
The user can see that the post is deleted only after he manualy switches pages, which I don'T want, I want the user to be automaticaly redirected once he pressed the Delete post button.
This is my package.json
"dependencies": {
"@testing-library/jest-dom": "^5.16.4",
"@testing-library/react": "^13.3.0",
"@testing-library/user-event": "^13.5.0",
"@types/jest": "^27.5.2",
"@types/node": "^16.11.41",
"@types/react": "^18.0.14",
"@types/react-dom": "^18.0.5",
"react": "^18.2.0",
"react-dom": "^18.2.0",
"react-router-dom": "^6.3.0",
"react-scripts": "5.0.1",
"typescript": "^4.7.4",
"web-vitals": "^2.1.4"
},
And this is my code for form submit and delete on the Post
const Post_page = () => {
const auth = useContext(context_auth);
const { isLoading, error, sendRequest, clearError } = useHttpRequest();
const [showModal, setShowModal] = useState(false);
const userID = useParams().id;
const [title, setTitle] = useState();
const [postID, setPostId] = useState();
const [description, setDescription] = useState();
const [creator_name, setCreatorName] = useState();
const [creationTime, setCreationTime] = useState('');
const openModal = (event: any) => {
setShowModal(true);
}
const closeModal = (event: any) => {
setShowModal(false);
}
const onSubmit = async (event: any) => {
event.preventDefault();
console.log("aaaaaaaaaaaaa");
try {
const url: string = `http://localhost:8000/api/posts/${postID}`;
await sendRequest(url, 'DELETE');
window.location.replace("/");
closeModal(event);
} catch (err: any) {
console.log(err.message)
}
}
useEffect(() => {
const fetchPosts = async () => {
try {
const url: string = `http://localhost:8000/api/posts/${userID}`;
const responseData = await sendRequest(url);
console.log(responseData.post);
const data = responseData.post;
setTitle(data.title);
setDescription(data.description);
setPostId(data.id);
const timeOfCreation = new Date(data.createdAt).toDateString();
setCreationTime(timeOfCreation);
setCreatorName(data.creator_name);
} catch (err) { }}
fetchPosts();
}, [sendRequest]);
return (
<>
{isLoading &&
<h1>Loading ...</h1>
}
{ !isLoading && showModal && auth.isLoggedIn &&
<Modal title='Delete post' show={showModal} onCancel={closeModal}>
<>
<Form onSubmit={onSubmit} classname='modal_content_height_auto'>
<p className='post_description'>Do you want to delete this post ?</p>
<Button
classname='button_submit'
classname_enabled='button_submit_enabled'
classname_disabled='button_submit_disabled'
type='submit'
label='Delete'
/>
</Form>
</>
</Modal>
}
{ !isLoading &&
<here is the post stuff, hidden as its not important>
<Comments />
</div>
}
</>
)
}
export default Post_page
CodePudding user response：
You have to useNavigate only, since you are using react router v6
const Post_page = () => {
const auth = useContext(context_auth);
const navigate=useNavigate();
const { isLoading, error, sendRequest, clearError } = useHttpRequest();
const [showModal, setShowModal] = useState(false);
const userID = useParams().id;
const [title, setTitle] = useState();
const [postID, setPostId] = useState();
const [description, setDescription] = useState();
const [creator_name, setCreatorName] = useState();
const [creationTime, setCreationTime] = useState('');
const openModal = () => {
setShowModal(true);
}
const closeModal = () => {
setShowModal(false);
}
const onSubmit = async (event: any) => {
event.preventDefault();
console.log("aaaaaaaaaaaaa");
try {
const url: string = `http://localhost:8000/api/posts/${postID}`;
await sendRequest(url, 'DELETE');
//window.location.replace("/");
navigate("/");
closeModal();
} catch (err: any) {
console.log(err.message)
}
}
useEffect(() => {
const fetchPosts = async () => {
try {
const url: string = `http://localhost:8000/api/posts/${userID}`;
const responseData = await sendRequest(url);
console.log(responseData.post);
const data = responseData.post;
setTitle(data.title);
setDescription(data.description);
setPostId(data.id);
const timeOfCreation = new Date(data.createdAt).toDateString();
setCreationTime(timeOfCreation);
setCreatorName(data.creator_name);
} catch (err) { }}
fetchPosts();
}, [sendRequest]);
return (

CodePudding user response：
If you are getting a fetch error from the delete request, that means neither of window.location.replace or closeModal functions are getting invoked because catch block is executed right after the error. Make sure that you are getting the right response from that API call.
