I've read many things about react-router v4 and the npm history library to this point, but none seems to be helping me.
My code is functioning as expected up to the point when it should navigate and do a simple redirect when the url is changed using the history.push() method. The URL IS changing to the specified route, but not doing the redirect on the button push. Thanks in advance, still learning react-router...
I would like for the button push to do a simple redirect without the {forceRefresh:true}, which then reloads the whole page.
import React from 'react';
import createBrowserHistory from 'history/createBrowserHistory';
const history = createBrowserHistory({forceRefresh:true});
export default class Link extends React.Component {
onLogout() {
history.push("/signup");
}
render() {
return(
<div>
<h1>Your Links</h1>
<button onClick={this.onLogout.bind(this)}>Log Out</button>
</div>
)
}
}
Check if you don't have nested BrowserRouter tags.
I had this issue on react-router v4 but I solved it after changing the app to only have the BrowserRouter at the top most level like the example below.
ReactDOM.render(
<BrowserRouter >
<App />
</BrowserRouter>,
document.getElementById('root')
);
You shouldn't need to downgrade to v3, React-Router 4.0.0 is totally capable of accomplishing what the OP asks for.
const history = createBrowserHistory();
is a custom history object so you should use <Router>
to synchronize it with react-router instead of <BrowserRouter>
, which is what I assumed you were using.
Try this instead:
import React, {Component} from 'react';
import { Router } from 'react-router';
import { Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import createHistory from 'history/createBrowserHistory';
const history = createHistory();
class App extends Component {
constructor(props){
super(props);
}
render(){
return (
<Router history={history}> //pass in your custom history object
<Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
<Route path="/other" component={Other} />
<Router />
)
}
}
Once your custom history object is passed in via Router's history prop, history.push should work just as expected in anywhere of your app. (you might want to put your history object in a history config file and import it at places where you want to route programmatically).
For more info, see: React Router history object
Rendering this would refresh on route change
`ReactDOM.render(
<AppContainer>
<BrowserRouter children={routes} basename={baseUrl} forceRefresh={true}/>
</AppContainer>,
document.getElementById("react-app")
);`
react-router-dom : 4.2.2
I have the same problem.
After some search i have found this react-router issue
I have currently downgrade react-router to the v3 and i use browserHistory
from the react-router
package and it's work fine.
