How to programmatically change a route in Next.js

New Course Coming Soon:

Get Really Good at Git

In a component, you can use the useRouter hook:

import { useRouter } from 'next/router'

//...

const router = useRouter()

router.push('/test')

Sometimes you can’t, for example when you’re not in a React component, maybe in a utility function.

In that case, you can do this:

import Router from 'next/router'

Router.push('/test')
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time you have to do something in Git?

A course that helps you feel less frustrated with Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
