How to push to History in React Router v4?

Question

In the current version of React Router (v3) I can accept a server response and use browserHistory.push to go to the appropriate response page. However, this isn

Here's my hack (this is my root-level file, with a little redux mixed in there - though I'm not using react-router-redux):

const store = configureStore()
const customHistory = createBrowserHistory({
  basename: config.urlBasename || ''
})

ReactDOM.render(
  
    
       {
        window.appHistory = history
        return (
          
        )
      }}/>
    
  ,
  document.getElementById('root')
)

I can then use window.appHistory.push() anywhere I want (for example, in my redux store functions/thunks/sagas, etc) I had hoped I could just use window.customHistory.push() but for some reason react-router never seemed to update even though the url changed. But this way I have the EXACT instance react-router uses. I don't love putting stuff in the global scope, and this is one of the few things I'd do that with. But it's better than any other alternative I've seen IMO.
