I'm new in Next.js and I'm wondering how to redirect from start page ( / ) to /hello-nextjs for example. Once user loads a page and after that determine if path === / redirect to /hello-nextjs
In react-router we do something like:
<Switch>
<Route path="/hello-nextjs" exact component={HelloNextjs} />
<Redirect to="/hello-nextjs" /> // or <Route path="/" exact render={() => <Redirect to="/hello-nextjs" />} />
</Switch>
Update: Next.js >= 13 with AppDir enabled
You can use next/navigation to redirect both in client components and server components.
Ex. in pages :
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation';
export default async function Home({ params }) {
redirect('/hello-nextjs');
// ...
}
Ex. In client components:
'use client';
import { useEffect } from 'react';
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation';
export const Home= () => {
useEffect(() => {
redirect('/hello-nextjs');
}, []);
return <p></p>;
};
Update: Next.js >= 12.1
As #warfield pointed out in his answer from next.js >= 12.1 relative URLs are no longer allowed in redirects and using them will throw an error. I'm reposting here his answer for more visibility :
To redirect using middleware with Next.js >= 12.1:
Create a middleware.ts (or .js) file at the same level as your pages directory
Export a middleware function
Create an absolute URL and pass it to redirect
TypeScript example middleware.ts:
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'
export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
const url = request.nextUrl.clone()
if (url.pathname === '/') {
url.pathname = '/hello-nextjs'
return NextResponse.redirect(url)
}
}
Update: Next.js >= 12
Now you can do redirects using middleware, create a _middleware.js file inside the pages folder (or any sub folder inside pages)
import { NextResponse, NextRequest } from 'next/server'
export async function middleware(req, ev) {
const { pathname } = req.nextUrl
if (pathname == '/') {
return NextResponse.redirect('/hello-nextjs')
}
return NextResponse.next()
}
Update: Next.js >= 10
From Next.js 10 you can do server side redirects (see below for client side redirects) with a redirect key inside getServerSideProps or getStaticProps :
export async function getServerSideProps(context) {
const res = await fetch(`https://.../data`)
const data = await res.json()
// or use context.resolvedUrl for conditional redirect
// if(context.resolvedUrl == "/")
if (!data) {
return {
redirect: {
destination: '/hello-nextjs',
permanent: false,
},
}
}
return {
props: {}, // will be passed to the page component as props
}
}
Note : Using getServerSideProps will force the app to SSR,also redirecting at build-time is not supported , If the redirects are known at build-time you can add those inside next.config.js
In next.js you can redirect after the page is loaded using Router ex :
import Router from 'next/router'
componentDidMount(){
const {pathname} = Router
if(pathname == '/' ){
Router.push('/hello-nextjs')
}
}
Or with Hooks :
import React, { useEffect } from "react";
import Router from 'next/router'
...
useEffect(() => {
const {pathname} = Router
if(pathname == '/' ){
Router.push('/hello-nextjs')
}
});
If you want to prevent the flashing before the redirect you can use a simple trick :
import React, { useEffect,useState } from "react";
import Router from 'next/router'
const myPage = ()=>{
const [loaded,setLoaded] = useState(false)
useEffect(() => {
const {pathname} = Router
// conditional redirect
if(pathname == '/' ){
// with router.push the page may be added to history
// the browser on history back will go back to this page and then forward again to the redirected page
// you can prevent this behaviour using location.replace
Router.push('/hello-nextjs')
//location.replace("/hello-nextjs")
}else{
setLoaded(true)
}
},[]);
if(!loaded){
return <div></div> //show nothing or a loader
}
return (
<p>
You will see this page only if pathname !== "/" , <br/>
</p>
)
}
export default myPage
I would say that in general is not a good/elegant approach to do client redirects when you can use next.config.js redirects or even better use conditional render of components.
I have create a simple repo with all the examples above here.
Caveat
First, you should asses whether you need client-side redirection (within React), server-side redirection (301 HTTP response) or server-side redirection + authentication (301 HTTP response but also having some logic to check authentication).
This is the most complete answer I could write. But, in most scenarios, you do not need any of this. Just redirect as you would do in any React app. Prefer client-side redirections first. Just using useEffect + router.push, and that's it.
Server-side redirection are tempting, in particular when you want to "secure" private pages, but you should assess whether you really need them. Usually, you don't. They induce unexpected complexity, like managing auth token and refresh token. Instead, you may want to add a gateway server, a reverse proxy or whatever upfront server to your architecture for instance to handle those kind of checks.
Keep in mind that Next.js are just React app, and using Next.js advanced features like SSR comes at a cost that should be justified in your context.
Next 9.5 update
As stated by #Arthur in the comments, 9.5 also include the possibilities to setup redirects in next.config.js.
The limitations of this feature are not yet clear to me, but they seem to be global redirections, e.g. when you need to move a page or to allow access only during a limited period.
So they are not meant to handle authentication for instance, because they don't seem to have access to the request context. Again, to be confirmed.
Next 10 new doc update
This solution is specific to redirection depending on authentication.
Authentication patterns are now documented
I am not fond of authenticated from getServerSideProps, because it's in my opinion quite too late and can be difficult to set up with advanced patterns such as handling refresh token. But that's the official solution.
You may also want to check the approach documented in this ticket based on how Vercel's dashboard works (at the time of writing), that prevents flash of unauthenticated content
Next 10.2 header and cookies based rewrites update
Next 10.2 introduces Rewrites based on headers and cookies.
That's a great way to redirect server-side, based on the presence of an authentication cookie or header.
However, keep in mind that this is not a secure redirection. User can alter their request headers with a false token. You still need a gateway, a reverse proxy or an upfront server to actually check token validity and correctly set the headers.
Edit: note that the URL won't change. A rewrite points an URL to an existing page of your application, without changing the URL => it allows you to have "virtual" URLs.
Example use case: imagine you have a page src/contact.tsx, that is translated, and i18n redirection setup. You can translate the page name itself ("contact") by rewriting /de/kontact to /de/contact.
Next 12 update
Now middlewares gives you full-control on server-side redirects.
However, keep in mind again, that most of the time a client-side redirect and check is just enough.
Outdated Next 9.4 answer (links are dead sorry)
Hi, here is an example component working in all scenarios:
Vulcan next starter withPrivate access
Example usage here
The answer is massive, so sorry if I somehow break SO rules, but I don't want to paste a 180 lines piece of code. There is no easy pattern to handle redirection in Next, if you want to both support SSR and static export.
The following scenarios each need a specific pattern:
server side rendering: we render the page if allowed, HTTP redirect if not
static rendering (server-side): we render nothing, but we still include the page into the build
client side rendering, after a static export: we check client side if the user is auth, and redirect or not. We display nothing (or a loader) during this check or if we are redirecting.
client side rendering after a client redirect using next/router: same behaviour.
client side rendering after SSR: we use props passed by getInitialProps to tell if the user is allowed, directly at first render. It's just a bit faster, you avoid a blank flash.
At the time of writing (Next 9.4), you have to use getInitialProps, not getServerSideProps, otherwise you lose the ability to do next export.
Even more outdated old answer (works, but will have a messy static render)
Semi-official example
The with-cookie-auth examples redirect in getInitialProps. I am not sure whether it's a valid pattern or not yet, but here's the code:
Profile.getInitialProps = async ctx => {
const { token } = nextCookie(ctx)
const apiUrl = getHost(ctx.req) + '/api/profile'
const redirectOnError = () =>
typeof window !== 'undefined'
? Router.push('/login')
: ctx.res.writeHead(302, { Location: '/login' }).end()
try {
const response = await fetch(apiUrl, {
credentials: 'include',
headers: {
Authorization: JSON.stringify({ token }),
},
})
if (response.ok) {
const js = await response.json()
console.log('js', js)
return js
} else {
// https://github.com/developit/unfetch#caveats
return await redirectOnError()
}
} catch (error) {
// Implementation or Network error
return redirectOnError()
}
}
It handles both server side and client side. The fetch call is the one that actually get the auth token, you might want to encapsulate this into a separate function.
What I would advise instead
1. Redirect on server-side render (avoid flash during SSR)
This is the most common case. You want to redirect at this point to avoid the initial page flashing on first load.
MyApp.getInitialProps = async appContext => {
const currentUser = await getCurrentUser(); // define this beforehand
const appProps = await App.getInitialProps(appContext);
// check that we are in SSR mode (NOT static and NOT client-side)
if (typeof window === "undefined" && appContext.ctx.res.writeHead) {
if (!currentUser && !isPublicRoute(appContext.router.pathname)) {
appContext.ctx.res.writeHead(302, { Location: "/account/login" });
appContext.ctx.res.end();
}
}
return { ...appProps, currentUser };
};
2. Redirect in componentDidMount (useful when SSR is disabled, eg in static mode)
This is a fallback for client side rendering.
componentDidMount() {
const { currentUser, router } = this.props;
if (!currentUser && !isPublicRoute(router.pathname)) {
Router.push("/account/login");
}
}
I could not avoid flashing the initial page in static mode add this point, because you can't redirect during the static build, but it seems better than the usual approaches. I'll try to edit as I make progress.
Full example is here
Relevant issue, which sadly ends up with a client only answer
New issue I've opened regarding redirecton
There are three approaches.
1.Redirect on events or functions:
import Router from 'next/router';
<button type="button" onClick={() => Router.push('/myroute')} />
2.Redirect with hooks:
import Router , {useRouter} from 'next/router';
const router = useRouter()
<button type="button" onClick={() => router.push('/myroute')} />
3.Redirect with Link:
based on Nextjs docs the <a> tag is neccessary inside the link for things like open in a new tab!
import Link from 'next/link';
<Link href="/myroute">
<a>myroute</a>
</Link>
There are some other options for serverside routing which is asPath. in all described approaches you can add asPath to redirect both client and server side.
Edit 13.12.2022
1.Redirect with Link doesn't require anchor tag anymore!
import Link from 'next/link';
<Link href="/myroute">
my route
</Link>
2.Use Nextj.js Redirects
in next.config.js
module.exports = {
async redirects() {
return [
{
source: '/someroute',
destination: '/myroute',
permanent: true,
},
]
},
}
Next.js 10+ is offering us some extra and elegant solution to make a redirection.
SERVER-SIDE - you should use getServerSideProps
The example below assume that we have some extra session to check (but can be
anything that you want). If the session is empty and we are on the server-side
(context.res), that's mean that the user is not logged in and we should
redirect to the login page (/login).. In another way we can pass session
to props and redirect to the /dashboard:
import { getSession } from 'next-auth/client';
export const getServerSideProps = async (context) => {
const session = await getSession(context);
if(context.res && !session) {
return {
redirect: {
permanent: false,
destination: '/login'
}
}
}
return {
props: { session },
redirect: {
permanent: false,
destination: '/dashboard'
}
}
}
CLIENT-SIDE - you can use for example useRouter hook:
import { useRouter } from 'next/router';
import { useSession } from 'next-auth/client';
const router = useRouter();
const [ session, loading ] = useSession();
if (typeof window !== 'undefined' && loading) return null;
if (typeof window !== 'undefined' && !session) {
router.push('/login');
}
router.push('/dashboard');
More info here: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/14890
Valid for NextJS 9.5.0+
Create next.config.js file
add source and destination url (you can set to permanent redirect if external domain)
module.exports = {
async redirects() {
return [
{
source: '/team',
destination: '/about',
permanent: false,
},
{
source: "/blog",
destination:
"https://blog.dundermifflin.com",
permanent: true,
},
];
},
};

Here are 2 copy-paste-level examples: one for the Browser and one for the Server.
https://dev.to/justincy/client-side-and-server-side-redirection-in-next-js-3ile
Let's say you want to redirect from your root (/) to a page called home: (/home)
In your main index file, paste this:
Client Side
import { useRouter } from 'next/router'
function RedirectPage() {
const router = useRouter()
// Make sure we're in the browser
if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {
router.push('/home')
}
}
export default RedirectPage
Server Side
import { useRouter } from 'next/router'
function RedirectPage({ ctx }) {
const router = useRouter()
// Make sure we're in the browser
if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {
router.push('/home');
return;
}
}
RedirectPage.getInitialProps = ctx => {
// We check for ctx.res to make sure we're on the server.
if (ctx.res) {
ctx.res.writeHead(302, { Location: '/home' });
ctx.res.end();
}
return { };
}
export default RedirectPage
#Nico's answer solves the issue when you are using classes.
If you are using function you cannot use componentDidMount. Instead you can use React Hooks useEffect .
import React, {useEffect} from 'react';
export default function App() {
const classes = useStyles();
useEffect(() => {
const {pathname} = Router
if(pathname == '/' ){
Router.push('/templates/mainpage1')
}
}
, []);
return (
null
)
}
In 2019 React introduced hooks. which are much faster and efficient than classes.
In NextJs v9.5 and above you can configure redirects and rewrites in the next.config.js file.
But if you are using trailingSlash: true ensure that the source path ends with a slash for proper matching.
module.exports = {
trailingSlash: true,
async redirects() {
return [
{
source: '/old/:slug/', // Notice the slash at the end
destination: '/new/:slug',
permanent: false,
},
]
},
}
You also need to account for other plugins and configurations that may affect routing, for example next-images.
Documentation: https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/next.config.js/redirects
redirect-to.ts
import Router from "next/router";
export default function redirectTo(
destination: any,
{ res, status }: any = {}
): void {
if (res) {
res.writeHead(status || 302, { Location: destination });
res.end();
} else if (destination[0] === "/" && destination[1] !== "/") {
Router.push(destination);
} else {
window.location = destination;
}
}
_app.tsx
import App, {AppContext} from 'next/app'
import Router from "next/router"
import React from 'react'
import redirectTo from "../utils/redirect-to"
export default class MyApp extends App {
public static async getInitialProps({Component, ctx}: AppContext): Promise<{pageProps: {}}> {
let pageProps = {};
if (Component.getInitialProps) {
pageProps = await Component.getInitialProps(ctx);
}
if (ctx.pathname === "" || ctx.pathname === "/_error") {
redirectTo("/hello-next-js", { res: ctx.res, status: 301 }); <== Redirect-To
return {pageProps};
}
return {pageProps};
}
render() {
const {Component, pageProps} = this.props;
return <Component {...pageProps}/>
}
}
I have implemented this functionality in my Next.JS app by defining a root page this does the redirect server side and client side. Here is the code for the root page:
import { useEffect } from "react";
import Router from "next/router";
const redirectTo = "/hello-nextjs";
const RootPage = () => {
useEffect(() => Router.push(redirectTo));
return null;
};
RootPage.getInitialProps = (ctx) => {
if (ctx.req) {
ctx.res.writeHead(302, { Location: redirectTo });
ctx.res.end();
}
};
export default RootPage;
Next.js >= 12.1
Relative URLs are no longer allowed in redirects and will throw:
Error: URLs is malformed. Please use only absolute URLs.
To redirect using middleware with Next.js >= 12.1:
Create a middleware.ts (or .js) file at the same level as your pages directory
Export a middleware function
Create an absolute URL and pass it to redirect
TypeScript example middleware.ts:
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'
export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
const url = request.nextUrl.clone()
if (url.pathname === '/') {
url.pathname = '/hello-nextjs'
return NextResponse.redirect(url)
}
}
🤷♂️ useEffect will redirect but jump immediately back to current page
✅ useLayoutEffect works like a charm:
const router = useRouter();
useLayoutEffect(() => {
router.isFallback && router.replace("/course");
}, [router]);
ℹ️ I've used the same code above for useEffect.
If your intention is to ensure your app is running like a SPA and wanting to intercept an incoming invalid (or valid) pathname, which the user pasted into the address bar, then here's a fast/hacky way to do that.
Assume your paths are,
enum ERoutes {
HOME = '/',
ABOUT = '/about',
CONTACT = '/contact'
}
Add a custom _error page if you don't have one already, and add this to it:
import React from 'react';
import { NextPage } from 'next';
import { useDispatch } from 'react-redux';
import { useRouter } from 'next/router';
const Error: NextPage = () => {
const { asPath, push } = useRouter();
const dispatch = useDispatch();
React.useEffect(() => {
const routeValid = Object.values(ERoutes).includes(asPath);
if (routeValid) {
// do some stuff, such as assigning redux state to then render SPA content in your index page
} else {
// you can either continue to render this _error component, or redirect to your index page,
// where you may have your own error component that is displayed based on your app state.
// In my case, I always redirect to '/' (as you can see below, where I push('/'), but before doing so,
// I dispatch relevant redux actions based on the situation
}
// I redirect to root always, but you can redirect only if routeValid === true
push('/');
}, []);
return (
<div>Error because '{asPath}' does not exist</div>
);
};
export default Error;
Redirects
Starting from Next.js 9.5 you are now able to create a list of redirects in next.config.js under the redirects key:
// next.config.js
module.exports = {
async redirects() {
return [
{
source: '/about',
destination: '/',
permanent: true,
},
];
},
};
Ofiicial Docs
Here's the middleware solution to avoid URLs is malformed. Please use only absolute URLs error.
Also, using paths object may be the cleaner way to handle redirection.
// pages/_middleware.ts
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server';
export async function middleware(req: NextRequest) {
const { pathname, origin } = req.nextUrl;
const paths: { [key: string]: string } = {
'/admin/appearance': `${origin}/admin/appearance/theme`,
};
const rePath = paths[pathname];
if (rePath) return NextResponse.redirect(rePath);
else return NextResponse.next();
}
You can set a base path. Next Js allows you to do this. For example, to use /login instead of / (the default), open next.config.js and add the basePath config:
const nextConfig = {
basePath: "/login",
};
module.exports = nextConfig;
You can also check out their docs here https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/next.config.js/basepath
When using a generic modal or toast with a confirm button, it becomes useful to be able to pass an action into this component so it can be dispatched when you click confirm.
The action may look something like this:
export function showConfirm({modalConfirm}) {
return {
type: 'MODALS/SHOW_MODAL',
payload: {
modalId: getUuid(),
modalType: 'CONFIRM',
modalConfirm : modalConfirm,
},
};
}
Where modalConfirm is another action object such as:
const modalConfirm = {
type: 'MAKE_SOME_CHANGES_AFTER_CONFIRM',
payload: {}
}
The modalConfirm action is dispatched inside the modal component using dispatch(modalConfirm) or even dispatch(Object.assign({}, modalConfirm, someResultFromTheModal)
Unfortunatley this solution only works if modalConfirm is a simple redux action object. This system is clearly very limited. Is there anyway you can pass a function (such as a thunk) in instead of a simple object?
Ideally, something full featured likes this:
const modalConfirm = (someResultFromTheModal) => {
return (dispatch, getState){
dispatch({
type: 'MAKE_SOME_UPDATES',
payload: someResultFromTheModal
})
dispatch({
type: 'SAVE_SOME_STUFF',
payload: http({
method: 'POST',
url: 'api/v1/save',
data: getState().stuffToSave
})
})
}
}
Funny, putting an action object in the store and passing it as a prop to a generic dialog is exactly the approach I came up with myself. I've actually got a blog post waiting to be published describing that idea.
The answer to your question is "Yes, but....". Per the Redux FAQ at http://redux.js.org/docs/FAQ.html#organizing-state-non-serializable , it's entirely possible to put non-serializable values such as functions into your actions and the store. However, that generally causes time-travel debugging to not work as expected. If that's not a concern for you, then go right ahead.
Another option would be to break your modal confirmation into two parts. Have the initial modal confirmation still be a plain action object, but use a middleware to watch for that being dispatched, and do the additional work from there. This is a good use case for Redux-Saga.
I ended up using string aliases to an actions library that centrally registers the actions.
Modal emmiter action contains an object with functionAlias and functionInputs
export function confirmDeleteProject({projectId}) {
return ModalActions.showConfirm({
message: 'Deleting a project it permanent. You will not be able to undo this.',
modalConfirm: {
functionAlias: 'ProjectActions.deleteProject',
functionInputs: { projectId }
}
})
}
Where 'ProjectActions.deleteProject' is the alias for any type of complicated action such as:
export function deleteProject({projectId}) {
return (dispatch)=>{
dispatch({
type: 'PROJECTS/DELETE_PROJECT',
payload: http({
method: 'DELETE',
url: `http://localhost:3000/api/v1/projects/${projectId}`,
}).then((response)=>{
dispatch(push(`/`))
}),
meta: {
projectId
}
});
}
}
The functions are registered in a library module as follows:
import * as ProjectActions from '../../actions/projects.js';
const library = {
ProjectActions: ProjectActions,
}
export const addModule = (moduleName, functions) => {
library[moduleName] = functions
}
export const getFunction = (path) => {
const [moduleName, functionName] = path.split('.');
// We are getting the module only
if(!functionName){
if(library[moduleName]){
return library[moduleName]
}
else{
console.error(`Module: ${moduleName} could not be found.`);
}
}
// We are getting a function
else{
if(library[moduleName] && library[moduleName][functionName]){
return library[moduleName][functionName]
}
else{
console.error(`Function: ${moduleName}.${functionName} could not be found.`);
}
}
}
The modalConfirm object is passed in to the modal by props. The modal component requires the getFunction function in the module above. The modalConfirm object is transformed into a function as follows:
const modalConfirmFunction = (extendObject, modalConfirm) => {
const functionFromAlias = getFunction(modalConfirm.functionAlias);
if(functionFromAlias){
dispatch(functionFromAlias(Object.assign({}, modalConfirm.functionInputs, extendObject)));
}
}
As you can see, this function can take in inputs from the modal. It can execute any type of complicated action or thunk. This system does not break time-travel but the centralized library is a bit of a drawback.
I am trying to learn ReactJS with ES6 along with setting up an instance of Fixed-Data-Table. I'm using the ObjectDataExample example from the github repo, but instead of the faker() values fed to the DataListStore, I want to use a DataListStore that gets its cache from a remote JSON resource. This is how I have defined my DataListStore:
class MyDataListStore {
constructor(/* url string */ url) {
this.url = url || 'http://localhost:8080/default-json';
this._cache = [];
this.pageSize = 1;
this.size = 0;
this.getRemoteData(url);
}
getRemoteData() {
/**
* Fetch remote JSON to be used in the store.
*/
var that = this;
fetch(this.url).then(function(response) {
return response.json();
}).then(function(j) {
console.log(j);
//this.pageSize = j["pages"];
that.size = j["total"];
that._cache = j["table"];
if (that._cache) {
// do something here?
}
});
}
getObjectAt(/*number*/ index) /*?object*/ {
if (index < 0 || index > this.size){
return undefined;
}
if (this._cache[index] === undefined) {
//this._cache[index] = this.createFakeRowObjectData(index);
}
return this._cache[index];
}
getSize() {
return this.size;
}
}
module.exports = MyDataListStore;
As you can see I'm following the FakeObjectDataListStore provided with the example from fixed-data-table more or less. The JSON is fetched properly, the _cache is populated with an array of objects, and when you output getSize once getRemoteData has executed, you do get the size of the _cache. However, I haven't figured out how my fixed-data-table Table component should be updated once the data has been fetched. Currently the Table is rendered but is simple blank with no rows.
class ObjectDataExample extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
dataList: new MyDataListStore()
};
}
render() {
var {dataList} = this.state;
return <Table
rowHeight={70} rowsCount={dataList.getSize()} width={1170} height={500} headerHeight={30}>
<Column
header={<Cell>ID</Cell>}
cell={<TextCell data={dataList} col="id" />}
width={50}
fixed={true}
/>
<Column
header={<Cell>Email</Cell>}
cell={<TextCell data={dataList} col="email" />}
width={300}
fixed={true}
/>
</Table>
}
}
module.exports = ObjectDataExample;
I think the main issue is that I don't have any code meant to populate the table once MyDataListStore is populated with the data from the async call. However, I can't find any help from the examples given in the Fixed-Data-Table github repo or the docs. Any idea how to get this done? I assume I need to set up some sort of event listener, but I'm not sure where/how to do this, as I'm still new to both ReactJS and Fixed-Data-Table.
Edit: I should also add that when the page loads, I get the following error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined
once I set the initial this.size to more than 0. So of course the table doesn't have the available data when it's first loading.
Edit 2: After looking into this further, it looks like if I run the fetch in componentDidMount of my ObjectDataExample and use this.setState(); to reset the dataList object, then I get the table updated. However, this looks a little messy and I'd assume there's a better way to do this directly from my MyDataListStore object.
Thanks,
One design issue with the current implementation of MyDataListStore is that it does not provide a way to notify the caller when the data has been loaded.
One possible way you might do this is to implement some sort of factory function (in the example below, I'm pretending that one exists called MyDataListStore.of) that returns a Promise that eventually resolves the MyDataListStore instance once the data loads:
// In the ObjectData component constructor, we call the MyDataListStore
// factory function and once it resolves, we assign it to our
// state. This will cause our component to re-render.
constructor() {
MyDataListStore.of(myDataListStoreUrl).then(store => {
this.setState({ dataList: store });
});
}
Now, once the data in the data list store resolves, our template (specified in your render function) will render correctly.
The DataListStore.of function we used earlier might look something like this:
class MyDataListStore {
static of(url) {
const dataListStore = new MyDataListStore(url);
return dataListStore.getRemoteData().then(() => return dataListStore);
}
/* ... other MyDataListStore properties/methods ... */
}
And finally we need to update the getRemoteData to return a promise. This is what will allow any clients of our MyDataListStore class to be notified that the data has loaded:
getRemoteData() {
/**
* Fetch remote JSON to be used in the store.
*/
var that = this;
// Return the chained promise! This promise will resolve
// after our last callback is called.
return fetch(this.url).then(function(response) {
return response.json();
}).then(function(j) {
console.log(j);
//this.pageSize = j["pages"];
that.size = j["total"];
that._cache = j["table"];
if (that._cache) {
// do something here?
}
});
}
I can set data into the State.data of History.js, like this:
var pushStateData = {};
function RetrieveSearchResults(type, url, searchData) {//, showResetButton,
controlToFocus, navDirection) {
pushStateData = {
SearchType : type,
SearchData : searchData,
};
RetrievePageResults(true, url, pushStateData);
}
function RetrievePageResults(pushNewUrl, url, pushStateData) {
navigationInProgress = true;
if (pushNewUrl) {
if (window.History) {
window.History.pushState(pushStateData, null, url);
}
$.get(url, pushStateData.SearchData, function (reply) {
$("#search-results").html(reply);
navigationInProgress = false;
});
}
If I set a breakpoint on the window.History.pushState statement, in Chrome, I can clearly see pushStateData has the desired values.
However, when I try to retrieve the data:
$(window).bind("statechange", function (e) {
if (!navigationInProgress) {
var State = window.History.getState();
if (window.console && window.console.log) {
console.log("popstate", State, window.location.href);
}
RetrievePageResults(false, State.cleanUrl, State.data);
}
});
When I set a breakpoint on the RetrievePageResults statement,
The State.data object no longer has any of the values I set. State.data is defined, and is not null, but it is an empty object without any apparent values.
Thanks,

I don't see anything wrong with State.data, when you issue a pushState, make sure you call the History.js method:
History.pushState({state:1}, "State 1", "?state=1");
Where:
First Parameter => The data
Second Parameter => The name
Third Parameter => The url
It seems your not passing the state, and the data will only be present if and only if you call the History.pushState. When your visiting the URL directly (/?state=1) you would have no data in the state, data will only be available when navigating back/forward while pushing state via History.pushState.
side note: Make sure your navigationInProgress variable is fixed, you don't want it to be stalled there. Reset it when the $.get request failed when listening on the error callback. And when your pushNewUrl is false, reset the navigationInProgress attribute.
