# Next use contextual routing

## Intro

React hook that generates round trip hrefs to enable [contextual routing][next-docs-contextual-routing] for [Next.js][next]. Take a look to the [demo 👈][demo].

### With Next links

```js
import React from 'react';
import Link from 'next/link';
import { useContextualRouting } from 'next-use-contextual-routing';

function MyPage() {
const { makeContextualHref, returnHref } = useContextualRouting();

return (




  • Start contextual routing




  • Back to where contextual routing was started



);
}
```

### With Next router

```js
import React from 'react';
import { useRouter } from 'next/router';
import { useContextualRouting } from 'next-use-contextual-routing';

function MyPage() {
const router = useRouter();
const { makeContextualHref, returnHref } = useContextualRouting();

const openModal = () =>
router.push(
makeContextualHref({ id: 33 }),
'/route-to-visit-contextually',
{
shallow: true,
}
);

const closeModal = () =>
router.push(returnHref, undefined, { shallow: true });

return (



  • Open contextual modal


  • Close contextual modal


);
}
```

## Why?

Contextual routing presents 2 challenges:

- Persist a href string able to keep the initial page state consistent throughout the whole contextual navigation
- Persist the url to return to when contextual routing is terminated

**Next use contextual routing** abstracts these responsibilities as a React hook.

It also works in statically exported apps and supports navigation with browsers' back button.

## API

```ts
const { makeContextualHref, returnHref } = useContextualRouting();
```

#### makeContextualHref

```ts
const makeContextualHref: (
extraParams?: Record
) => string;
```

The function returns the path to provide as `href` to start or keep alive contextual navigation. The generated path describes the state of the page to keep alive while contextual navigation is active.

It optionally accepts an object describing **extra parameters** to append to contextual navigation `href`.

#### returnHref

```ts
const returnHref: string;
```

The path to return to to close contextual navigation.

## Next.js versions support

| Next use contextual routing | Next.js |
| --------------------------- | -------------- |
| v2.2.0 | v9.X -> v12.X |
| v3.0.0 | v13.X |
| v3.2.0 + | v13.X -> v14.X |
| v4.0.0 + | v15.X |

## Notes

### Naming

**Contextual routing** pattern is also known as:

- Modal route
- [Route as modal][next-docs-contextual-routing]
- [Snowlift][twitter-pattern-name]
- Instagram style modal routing

### Scroll behaviour on refresh

When using **Contextual routing**, default browsers scroll behaviour on page refresh might produce undesired results. If the case, setting [`history.scrollRestoration`][history-scroll-restoration-docs] to `manual` could improve user experience.

```js
history.scrollRestoration = 'manual';
```
