useRouter

This section covers the useRouter function.

The useRouter hook is commonly used in React applications, especially those built with Next.js, to handle routing and navigation. It provides an interface to interact with the router object, which manages the routing and navigation within the application.

Features

Access Router Object:

Provides access to the router object, which contains methods and properties related to routing and navigation.

Current Pathname:

Allows you to access the current URL path (pathname) of the application.
Useful for conditionally rendering components based on the route.

Query Parameters:

Provides access to query parameters in the URL.
Enables reading and manipulating URL parameters.

Allows programmatic navigation to different routes within the application.
Methods such as push, replace, and back can be used to navigate or manipulate the browser history.

Dynamic Routing:

Supports dynamic routing by allowing you to access dynamic route parameters.
Useful for applications with dynamic routes based on URL parameters.

Route Matching:

Provides access to route matching information.
Allows checking if the current route matches a specific pattern or route.

Prefetching:

Supports prefetching of routes to improve navigation performance.
Enables preloading of pages for smoother user experience.

Route Events:

Allows listening to router events such as route changes, route change starts, and route change errors.
Useful for tracking navigation events or showing loading indicators.

Shallow Routing:

Supports shallow routing, which allows updating the URL without running data fetching methods again.
Helps to maintain state and avoid unnecessary data fetching during navigation.

Supports asynchronous navigation, enabling you to perform actions before navigating to a new route.

Usage

To use the useRouter function, follow these steps:

Installation: Install the necessary package using npm or yarn.
```
npm install backchannel-library
```

Import: Import the function into your project.

import { useRouter } from "backchannel-library";

Implementation: Implement the function in your code.

 import { useRouter } from 'next/router';

 function NavigationComponent() {
   const router = useRouter();

   const handleNavigation = () => {
     // Navigate to a different route programmatically
     router.push('/new-route');
   };

   return (
     <div>
       <h1>Current Path: {router.pathname}</h1>
       <button onClick={handleNavigation}>Go to New Route</button>
     </div>
   );
 }

 export default NavigationComponent;

Example usage

Here are some examples of how to use the useRouter function in different scenarios.

Basic Example

    import React from 'react';
    import { useRouter } from 'next/router';

    const MyComponent = () => {
      const router = useRouter();
      const { query, pathname } = router;

      const handleClick = () => {
        router.push(`/profile?id=${query.id}`);
      };

      return (
        <div>
          <p>Current Path: {pathname}</p>
          <p>Query ID: {query.id}</p>
          <button onClick={handleClick}>Go to Profile</button>
        </div>
      );
    };

    export default MyComponent;
