bookCreating and Managing Active Links

In web development, a common practice is highlighting active links based on the current page.

In Next.js, we can achieve this using the usePathname() hook. This hook checks the current path in the app, allowing us to implement dynamic highlighting for the corresponding page with the clsx library.

Back to the Project

To utilize usePathname() hook, convert nav-links.tsx into a Client Component. Begin by adding "use client" directive at the top of the file.

Now, we can use the usePathname hook and use it.

Lastly, employ the clsx library to apply styles conditionally. Set the condition such that if the pathname is equal to link.href, change the background color to bg-neutral-600.
