history object with central Routes file










1














I have seen many examples over the net on how to use history object with React Router. However, I havent stumbled upon a case where the example shows a central routes file as shown below:



routes.js



const RouteList = () => (
<main>
<Switch>
<Route path="/" exact component=HomePage />
<Route component=Error />
</Switch>
</main>
);

export default RouteList;


App.js



render() 
return (
<div>
<Header />
<RouteList />
<Footer />
</div>
);



history.js



import createBrowserHistory from 'history';

export default createBrowserHistory();


Can someone shed some light how i can use history with my centralized routes? Or if there is another similar thread please let me know thank you so much.

          The custom history object need to be provided as a prop to the Router Provider component. In your case you can Specify a Router Provider in App.js or RouteList depending on whether Header and Footer also need Router props or not.



          import browserHistory from './history.js';

          ...
          render()
          return (
          <Router history=browserHistory>
          <div>
          <Header />
          <RouteList />
          <Footer />
          </div>
          </Router>
          );



          Also in your history.js file, import createBrowserHistory like



          import createBrowserHistory from 'history/createBrowserHistory';
