Go to previous URL and clear search params + React-router-dom V6

I have navigate to a page with some search parameters. I want go to the previous URL and clear search params. I handle actions by useSearchParams (react-router-dom v6)

In useEffect, I return callback function setSerachParams with an empty object. It works and clears the params but navigate(-1) doesn't work and doesn't return to the previous page.

It sounds like you're trying to clear the search parameters and navigate back to the previous page using React Router v6. When you use navigate(-1), it's supposed to go back to the previous page in the history stack.

If clearing the search parameters in the useEffect callback is not working as expected, you might want to check a couple of things:

Make sure you are using useEffect correctly. It should look something like this:

import { useEffect } from 'react';
import { useSearchParams, useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';

const YourComponent = () => {
  const [searchParams, setSearchParams] = useSearchParams();
  const navigate = useNavigate();

  useEffect(() => {
    // Your logic to clear search parameters
    setSearchParams({});
    
    // Your logic to navigate back
    navigate(-1);

    // Make sure to return a cleanup function if needed
    return () => {
      // Cleanup logic if necessary
    };
  }, [setSearchParams, navigate]);

  // Rest of your component
  return (
    // Your component JSX
  );
};

Ensure that the component containing this logic is actually mounted when useEffect runs. If it's unmounted, the cleanup function might interfere with navigation.

Double-check if there are any other hooks or components interfering with the navigation.
