use options as history.state in next router.

[pratheekhegde]

Is it safe to use options in Router.push(url, as, options) to pass state between routes? Currently I'm migrating a project to Next.js and it has references to history.pushState(state, title[, url]). Apparently the docs doesn't explicitly say this, so is it safe to use this approach?

I don't know if this is safe, but I came to ask the same question. Is there any official ability to store application data in the history state API of the browser?

Thank you for the response. I will try rolling my data into the options field and see what happens.

The docs seem to specifically enumerate what is (and not) allowed in options so I was a bit reluctant to depend on this behavior. https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/next/router#routerpush
