I am stuck with a problem with passing data from one page to another page in next.js as I am building a basic news application in which I am fetching get requests from news api and I got results of 10 articles and I mapped them correctly but I want to pass the single article date to a new Page named singleNews. So How can I do it? here is place where I am fetching all 10 articles:
export default function news({data}) {
// const randomNumber = (rangeLast) => {
// return Math.floor(Math.random()*rangeLast)
// }
// console.log(data)
return (
<>
<div>
<h1 className="heading">Top Techcrunch Headlines!</h1>
</div>
<div className={styles.newsPage}>
{ // here you always have to check if the array exist by optional chaining
data.articles?.map(
(current, index) => {
return(
<Card datas={current} key={index+current.author} imageSrc={current.urlToImage} title={current.title} author={current.author}/>
)
}
)
}
</div>
</>
)
}
export async function getStaticProps() {
const response = await fetch(`https://newsapi.org/v2/top-headlines?sources=techcrunch&apiKey=${process.env.NEWS_API_KEY}&pageSize=12`)
const data = await response.json() // by default Article length is 104
// const articles = data.articles;
return{
props : {
data,
}
}
}
You can pass data to another page via Link
component this way:
import Link from 'next/link'
<Link
href={{
pathname: '/to-your-other-page',
query: data // the data
}}
>
<a>Some text</a>
</Link>
and then receive that data in your other page using router
:
import { useRouter } from 'next/router'
const router = useRouter();
const data = router.query;
This is also known as putting state in the URL.
Update - Next.js v13+:
Next.js added a new app directory feature which uses React Server Components by default. Since Next.js v13.4.1 the app
directory is now stable and is the recommended way of working with the framework.
Some changes have been implemented on the Link
component and useRouter
hook. Also, some new hooks have been added for client-side use. A brief list of these changes:
It's no longer needed to wrap an a
tag with the Link
component. The new Link
component extends the HTML <a>
element. <a>
tag attributes can be added to Link
as props. For example, className
or target="_blank"
. These will be forwarded to the underlying <a>
element on render.
The new useRouter
hook should be imported from next/navigation
and not next/router
.
The query object has been removed and is replaced by useSearchParams().
Passing data from one page to another using app
directory feature and Server Components:
import Link from 'next/link'
const SomePage = () => {
return (
<section>
<h1>Some page</h1>
<Link
href={{
pathname: '/anotherpage',
query: {
search: 'search'
}
}}
>
Go to another page
</Link>
</section>
)
}
export default SomePage
Receiving the data through searchParams
prop:
const AnotherPage = ({ searchParams }) => {
console.log(searchParams.search) // Logs "search"
...
}
export default AnotherPage
On Client Components:
'use client'
import { useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'
const SomeClientComponent = () => {
const searchParams = useSearchParams()
console.log(searchParams.get('search')) // Logs "search"
...
}
export default SomeClientComponent
This also works with page components on pages
folder. Don't include the 'use client'
directive in this case.
