Package Exports
- connected-react-router
- connected-react-router/immutable
- connected-react-router/lib/actions
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (connected-react-router) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Connected React Router

A Redux binding for React Router v4
Main features
✨ Synchronize router state with redux store through uni-directional flow (i.e. history -> store -> router -> components).
🎁 Support React Router v4.
☀️ Support functional component hot reloading while preserving state (with react-hot-reload).
🎉 Dispatching of history methods (push, replace, go, goBack, goForward) works for both redux-thunk and redux-saga.
⛄ Nested children can access routing state such as the current location directly with react-redux's connect.
🕘 Support time traveling in Redux DevTools.
💎 Support Immutable.js
💪 Support TypeScript
Installation
Using npm:
$ npm install --save connected-react-routerOr yarn:
$ yarn add connected-react-routerUsage
Step 1
- Create a
historyobject. - Create root reducer as a function that takes
historyas an argument and returns reducer. - Add
routerreducer into root reducer by passinghistorytoconnectRouter. Note: The key MUST berouter. - Use
routerMiddleware(history)if you want to dispatch history actions (e.g. to change URL withpush('/path/to/somewhere')).
// reducers.js
import { combineReducers } from 'redux'
import { connectRouter } from 'connected-react-router'
export default (history) => combineReducers({
router: connectRouter(history),
... // rest of your reducers
})
// configureStore.js
...
import { createBrowserHistory } from 'history'
import { applyMiddleware, compose, createStore } from 'redux'
import { routerMiddleware } from 'connected-react-router'
import createRootReducer from './reducers'
...
const history = createBrowserHistory()
const store = createStore(
createRootReducer(history), // root reducer with router state
initialState,
compose(
applyMiddleware(
routerMiddleware(history), // for dispatching history actions
// ... other middlewares ...
),
),
)Step 2
- Wrap your react-router v4 routing with
ConnectedRouterand pass thehistoryobject as a prop. - Place
ConnectedRouteras a child ofreact-redux'sProvider.
...
import { Provider } from 'react-redux'
import { Route, Switch } from 'react-router' // react-router v4
import { ConnectedRouter } from 'connected-react-router'
...
ReactDOM.render(
<Provider store={store}>
<ConnectedRouter history={history}> { /* place ConnectedRouter under Provider */ }
<div> { /* your usual react-router v4 routing */ }
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" render={() => (<div>Match</div>)} />
<Route render={() => (<div>Miss</div>)} />
</Switch>
</div>
</ConnectedRouter>
</Provider>,
document.getElementById('react-root')
)Now, it's ready to work!
