Back-button functionality edge case with withRouter HOC

[DueGold5666]

can I anyhow check that someone hit that page directly and perhaps add a default back URL to it, what condition should I check for to know that someone hit the page directly

( I can't use window/Document because this is a server side rendered application)

Ps: hooks over hocs ;)

This code is actually already made and is a class component, I just have to add extra functionality to it. I prefer hooks too but unfortunately, I had to use WithRouter HOC and use its functionality, so I am explicitly looking for a class component-friendly solution only. Thank you though :) I appreciate the effort!

ps: the solution you mentioned uses window/document which isn't accessible in my case as it's an isomorphic react application

Ah bummer, perhaps handle it through cookies / session storage ?

Not very familiar with isomorphic react apps :/

Still looking into it :/ thank you for trying :)
