this.props.history.push not working in method for onChange

Question

What I am trying to do is that when a user clicks on an option in the dropdown list, it acts as a filter and takes them to a page with the specific query params matching their filtering. In theory, when a user selects an option, it should use the target.value of that option to take them to that specific page. But when I click on the different options, it does nothing to the URL. It doesn't take the user anywhere, it just stays on the same page. If you manually type in those query params, it will take you to the needed page, but the method with this.props.history.push simply does nothing. And there are no errors that come up either. How can I make it take me to the needed page?

You can look at the entire project and fiddle with it on this stackblitz link.

Answer 1

You function definition is incorrect, Its function inside function..

ageSelect(e) {
  this.props.history.push(`filter_age/${e.target.value}`);
}

jobSelect(e) {
  this.props.history.push(`/filter_job/${e.target.value}`);
};

you are declaring an anonymous function.
