The Problem:
In NextJS, the Router.push
method is asynchronous. However, it can be used without await
. Determine the correct usage of Router.push
to ensure proper navigation between pages without executing subsequent code.
The Solutions:
Solution 1: Use `await` when necessary
The Router.push
method in Next.js returns a promise, indicating it’s an asynchronous operation. However, using await
with Router.push
isn’t always necessary.
If your code doesn’t depend on the navigation completion, like updating state or fetching data on the new page, you can omit await
. This allows you to continue executing code without waiting for navigation to complete.
However, if you have code that should only execute after navigation, you need to use await
or handle navigation completion differently.
