Preserving previous location while authenticating

[jabidof]

I'm trying to preserve the previous location so I can send the user there after they authenticate.
The use case is described in below sequence

1. Non-authorized user enter any URL pointing to a particular route:
   .../dashboard/topics/123?readMode=raw <- save this!
2. User is re-routed to .../login
3. User logged in successfully and is navigated to "saved URL"

What is the best practice using react-location?

You can capture the location from useLocation or useRouter into something persistent like localStorage or even a ?redirect=url search param, then either declaratively <Navigate> or imperatively useNavigate to a new route. When things are good, do the same back to the original location you captured.

Dear @tannerlinsley ,

can you give me some examples(script) for this secenario?

[V1RE]

@caturhidayat There's an example in the docs here: Overview | Router Docs

[caturhidayat]

@V1RE I don't get in about :
router.history.push(search.redirect) // How to use it

can you give me some examples?

[jabidof]

Thanks for the info.
I just implemented the mechanism using ?redirect=url approach as described in #92. All good!

Just my two cents regarding the doc (which is already close to perfection (Y)). The useLocation is nowhere mentioned unless I'm wrong?

I have a similar issue which is after submitting the form or clicking the cancel button, how can I jump back to the previous page, or a few pages back.

I tried to use useNavigate to implement it but it seems I have to provide a specific to parameter.
