You can redirect a user with post data in React.js using the history object from the react-router-dom package. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:

  1. Install react-router-dom package if you haven't already:
1
npm install react-router-dom


  1. Import Redirect and withRouter from react-router-dom in your component file:
1
2
import React from 'react';
import { Redirect, withRouter } from 'react-router-dom';


  1. Create a function in your component that handles the form submission and redirects the user:

class YourComponent extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      redirect: false,
      postData: {}
    };
  }

  handleSubmit = (event) => {
    event.preventDefault();
    
    // Perform any necessary data processing here
    
    // Set post data in state
    this.setState({ 
      postData: { /* Your post data here */},
      redirect: true
    });
  }

  render() {
    if (this.state.redirect) {
      return <Redirect to={{
        pathname: '/target-route',
        state: { postData: this.state.postData }
      }} />;
    }

    return (
      <form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
        {/* Form elements here */}
        <button type="submit">Submit</button>
      </form>
    );
  }
}

export default withRouter(YourComponent);


In this example, when the user submits the form, the handleSubmit function sets the post data in the component's state and sets the redirect flag to true. The render function then checks if the redirect flag is set and redirects the user to the 'target-route' with the post data in the state.


Please note that the withRouter higher-order component is needed to access the history object from the component's props, which allows you to programmatically redirect the user.
