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

Create a custom Router with its own browserHistory:

import React from 'react';
import { Router } from 'react-router-dom';
import { createBrowserHistory } from 'history';

export const history = createBrowserHistory();

const ExtBrowserRouter = ({children}) => (
  
  { children }
  
);

export default ExtBrowserRouter

Next, on your Root where you define your Router, use the following:

import React from 'react';       
import { /*BrowserRouter,*/ Route, Switch, Redirect } from 'react-router-dom';

//Use 'ExtBrowserRouter' instead of 'BrowserRouter'
import ExtBrowserRouter from './ExtBrowserRouter'; 
...

export default class Root extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      
        
          
            ...
            
            ...
          
        
      
    )
  }
}

Finally, import history where you need it and use it:

import { history } from '../routers/ExtBrowserRouter';
...

export function logout(){
  clearTokens();      
  history.push('/login'); //WORKS AS EXPECTED!
  return Promise.reject('Refresh token has expired');
}
