TypeScript: Getting an error ‘Options’ type is not compatible with ‘NavigateOptions’ in Next.js

TypeScript: Getting an error ‘Options’ type is not compatible with ‘NavigateOptions’ in Next.js

If you are using TypeScript with Next.js, you may have encountered an error message that says ‘Options’ type is not compatible with ‘NavigateOptions’. This error typically occurs when you are trying to use the Next.js router’s navigate function with custom options, but TypeScript is not able to infer the correct type.

Solution 1: Type Assertion

One way to resolve this error is by using a type assertion to explicitly tell TypeScript the correct type of the options object.

    import { useRouter } from 'next/router';
    
    const router = useRouter();
    
    const handleClick = () => {
        const options = {
            // Your custom options here
        };
        
        router.push('/path', options as NavigateOptions);
    };
    

In the code snippet above, we use the ‘as’ keyword to assert that the options object is of type ‘NavigateOptions’. This tells TypeScript to treat the object as if it has the correct type, resolving the error.

Solution 2: Type Casting

Another way to fix this error is by using type casting to explicitly convert the options object to the correct type.

    import { useRouter } from 'next/router';
    
    const router = useRouter();
    
    const handleClick = () => {
        const options = {
            // Your custom options here
        };
        
        router.push('/path', options as unknown as NavigateOptions);
    };
    

In the code snippet above, we use ‘as unknown’ to cast the options object to an unknown type first, and then use ‘as NavigateOptions’ to cast it to the correct type. This also resolves the error.

By using either of these solutions, you should be able to resolve the ‘Options’ type is not compatible with ‘NavigateOptions’ error in Next.js when using TypeScript.
