Navigating Outside of Components

While you can use this.props.router from withRouter to navigate around, many apps want to be able to navigate outside of their components. They can do that with the history the app gives to Router.

// Your main file that renders a <Router>:
import { Router, browserHistory } from 'react-router'
import routes from './app/routes'

render(
  <Router history={browserHistory} routes={routes} />,
  mountNode
)

// Somewhere like a Redux middleware or Flux action:
import { browserHistory } from 'react-router'

// Go to /some/path.
browserHistory.push('/some/path')

// Go back to previous location.
browserHistory.goBack()
