API

const [handleBack, handleForward] = useBrowserHistory( name, isActive, onBack, onForward );

Key	Type	Description
name	`string`	(required) The unique name to be used inside the browser history state.
isActive	`bool`	(required) Whether or not the entry should exist in the browser history state. For example, in the case of a modal, this should be set to `true` when the modal is open / visible, and `false` when it’s closed.
onBack	`func`	A callback that is fired when the back button is pressed, or when the `handleBack` (first arg returned by `useBrowserHistory`) function is called and the browser history state has been cleaned up.
onForward	`func`	Exactly like `onBack`, but for the forward button. You can use this to re-perform something if the user clicks back then forward (like in the example GIF above), to do something such as re-opening a modal.
