[Solved] useNavigate() may be used only in the context of a <Router> component

problem: While working on a react project while I tried to use useNavigate(),

function App() {
  const navigate = useNavigate();
  return (
    <BrowserRouter>
      <div>
      <button onClick={() => navigate(-1)}>go back</button>
        <Nav/>
        <Routes>
          <Route exact path="/" element={<Home/>}/>
          <Route exact path="/home" element={<Home/>}/>
          <Route exact path="/new/:user" element={<New/>}/>
          <Route exact path="/record/:user" element={<Record/>}/>
          <Route path="*" element={<NotFound/>}/>
        </Routes>
      </div>
    </BrowserRouter>
  );
}

Getting this error:

useNavigate() may be used only in the context of a <Router> component

Solution :

Refactor component like below to solve this issue:

App.jsx:

function App() {
  const navigate = useNavigate();
  return (
      <div>
        <button onClick={() => navigate(-1)}>go back</button>
        <Nav/>
        <Routes>
          <Route exact path="/" element={<Home/>}/>
          <Route exact path="/home" element={<Home/>}/>
          <Route exact path="/new/:user" element={<New/>}/>
          <Route exact path="/record/:user" element={<Record/>}/>
          <Route path="*" element={<NotFound/>}/>
        </Routes>
      </div>
  );
}

index.jsx:

import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
import App from './App';

ReactDOM.render(
  <BrowserRouter>
    <App/>
  </BrowserRouter>,
  document.getElementById('root')
)
