useBack hook how to know the address or resource its would go back to

Hi @Joe Gaffney. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
The
useBack
hook in refine leverages the back
method of the routerProvider
to perform the "go back" operation in the history stack. However, based on the provided knowledge sources, there is no direct method mentioned to know the exact address or resource it would go back to.
The useBack
hook is designed to navigate to the previous page in the history stack, but it does not provide information about the specific address or resource it will navigate to.
Here is an example of how to use the useBack
hook:
For more details, you can refer to the useBack documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/hooks/use-back/).
If you need to know the specific address or resource, you might need to manage the navigation state manually or use other hooks or methods provided by your router (e.g., useHistory
from react-router-dom
).
For further information, you can explore the routerProvider documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/router-provider/).

@kapa.ai how could i find the history from the router provider
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To find the history from the
routerProvider
in refine, you can use the useHistory
method provided by the routerProvider
. This method typically includes functions like push
, replace
, and goBack
to manage navigation history.
Here is an example of how you can use the useHistory
method from the routerProvider
:
To use the useHistory
method in your component, you can do something like this:
For more details, you can refer to the following documentation:
- Router Provider (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/router-provider/)
- useNavigation Hook (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/hooks/use-navigation/)
These resources will provide you with more information on how to manage navigation and history using the routerProvider
in refine.

@kapa.ai goBack
This method navigates to the previous page. It uses the goBack method of the useHistory from the routerProvider.

The
goBack
method in refine navigates to the previous page. It uses the goBack
method of the useHistory
from the routerProvider
.
Here is an example of how to use the goBack
method with the useNavigation
hook:
The goBack
method parameters are dependent on your router provider.
For more details, you can refer to the useNavigation documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/hooks/use-navigation/#goback).
Additionally, if you are using the useBack
hook, it also leverages the back
method of the routerProvider
to perform the "go back" operation in the history stack:

hook, you can refer to the useBack documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/hooks/use-back/).

@kapa.ai how can i access useHistroy do i directly use from reactRouter
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To access
useHistory
in refine, you should use the routerProvider
that refine provides. You do not directly use useHistory
from react-router-dom
but rather through the routerProvider
that refine integrates with.
Here is how you can set up and use the routerProvider
with useHistory
in refine:
1. Set up the routerProvider
in your application:
2. Use the useNavigation
hook to access navigation methods including goBack
:
The useNavigation
hook internally uses the useHistory
method from the routerProvider
, so you don't need to directly use useHistory
from react-router-dom
.
For more details, you can refer to the following documentation:
- Router Provider (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/router-provider/)
- useNavigation Hook (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/hooks/use-navigation/#goback)
These resources will provide you with more information on how to manage navigation and history using the routerProvider
in refine.

@kapa.ai i want to avoid showing the back if its the same page or has no history
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To avoid showing the back button if it's the same page or if there is no history, you can use the
useBack
hook along with some custom logic to determine whether to display the back button.
Here is an example of how you can achieve this:
1. Check if there is history:
- You can use the window.history.length
to determine if there is any history.
2. Check if it's the same page:
- You can use the useLocation
hook from your router provider to get the current location and compare it with the previous location.
Here is a complete example:
In this example:
- window.history.length > 1
checks if there is any history.
- location.key !== "default"
is a simple check to ensure it's not the initial load (you might need to adjust this based on your specific routing setup).
For more details, you can refer to the following documentation:
- useBack Hook (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/hooks/use-back/)
- useLocation Hook (https://reactrouter.com/web/api/Hooks/uselocation) (if you are using react-router-dom
)
This approach ensures that the back button is only shown when there is a valid history to go back to and it's not the same page.

@kapa.ai thats not right would i not need the router providers histroy not the window histroy as is SPA
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
You're correct. In a Single Page Application (SPA), you should rely on the router provider's history rather than the
window.history
. Here’s how you can achieve this using the useNavigation
and useLocation
hooks provided by refine and your router provider.
1. Set up the routerProvider
in your application:
2. Use the useNavigation
and useLocation
hooks to determine if the back button should be shown:
In this example:
- useNavigation
provides the goBack
method.
- useLocation
from react-router-dom
is used to get the current location.
- location.key !== "default"
is a simple check to ensure it's not the initial load (you might need to adjust this based on your specific routing setup).
For more details, you can refer to the following documentation:
- useNavigation Hook (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/hooks/use-navigation/#goback)
- useLocation Hook (https://reactrouter.com/web/api/Hooks/uselocation) (if you are using react-router-dom
)
This approach ensures that the back button is only shown when there is a valid history to go back to and it's not the same page.
