Anyone get the react router working? If so have you been able to find/use:

withRouter

(https://reacttraining.com/react-router/web/api/withRouter).

I haven't been able to find it in the wrappers and haven't been successful in calling it myself on my class components.

Just use hashRouter or browserRouter dsl builders

I have been and they work great, what I am looking for is programmatic control.

*router*.history.push(*path*

[Soren Valle]

I know you have access to that in a component that is a result of a route, but it seems that there should be a way to trigger a route based on something other than a link click.

[Big Chungus]

Hmm, cant you just do plainJS way?

[Big Chungus]

as in window.location.hash = x

[Soren Valle]

huh, smart. I didn't think of that, I suppose you could. I'll have to mess around with that and see if it integrates well. Seems hackish, but also can't see why it wouldn't work. Thanks

[Big Chungus]

Yeah, I'd write some kind of HashManager object to control what goes where and use it from components

[Big Chungus]

Rather than having components accessing hash directly

[Big Chungus]

This way it's less hacky 😄

[Soren Valle]

Good call 👍
