Use history.push in action creator with react-router-v4?

Instead of using BrowserRouter you could use the Router with custom history like

import { Router } from 'react-router'

import createBrowserHistory from 'history/createBrowserHistory'

export const history = createBrowserHistory()

<Router history={history}>
  <App/>
</Router>

in which case your history.push() will work. With BrowserRouter history.push doesn't work because Creating a new browserHistory won't work because <BrowserRouter> creates its own history instance, and listens for changes on that. So a different instance will change the url but not update the <BrowserRouter>.

Once you create a custom history, you can export it and then import it in your action creator and use it to navigate dynamically like

import { history } from '/path/to/index';

const someAction = () => {
    return dispatch => {
        ApiCall().then((res) => {
            dispatch({type: 'SOME_CALL', payload: res })
            history.push('/home');
        })
    }
}
