How to get history on react-router v4?

I having some little issue migrating from React-Router v3 to v4. in v3 I was able to do this anywhere:

import { browserHistory } from 'react-router';
browserHistory.push('/some/path');

How do I achieve this in v4.

I know that I could use, the hoc withRouter, react context, or event router props when you are in a Component. but it is not the case for me.

I am looking for the equivalence of NavigatingOutsideOfComponents in v4

Solution 1:

You just need to have a module that exports a history object. Then you would import that object throughout your project.

// history.js
import { createBrowserHistory } from 'history'

export default createBrowserHistory({
  /* pass a configuration object here if needed */
})

Then, instead of using one of the built-in routers, you would use the <Router> component.

// index.js
import { Router } from 'react-router-dom'
import history from './history'
import App from './App'

ReactDOM.render((
  <Router history={history}>
    <App />
  </Router>
), holder)

// some-other-file.js
import history from './history'
history.push('/go-here')

Solution 2:

This works! https://reacttraining.com/react-router/web/api/withRouter

import { withRouter } from 'react-router-dom';

class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  render () {
    this.props.history;
  }
}

withRouter(MyComponent);

Solution 3:

Basing on this answer if you need history object only in order to navigate to other component:

import { useHistory } from "react-router-dom";

function HomeButton() {
  const history = useHistory();

  function handleClick() {
    history.push("/home");
  }

  return (
    <button type="button" onClick={handleClick}>
      Go home
    </button>
  );
}
