How to Redirect to a Different Page with React Router after a Redux Action is Done?

Sometimes, we want to redirect to a different page with React Router after a Redux action is complete.

React Router Redirect after Redux Action

We can redirect after a Redux action is committed.

To do that, we install the history package.

We install it by running:

npm install --save history

Then we can create a function like:

import { createBrowserHistory } from 'history';

const browserHistory = createBrowserHistory();

const actionName = () => (dispatch) => {
  axios
    .post('url', { body })
    .then(response => {
       dispatch({
         type: ACTION_TYPE_NAME,
         payload: payload
       });
       browserHistory.push('/foo');
    })
    .catch(err => {
      // Process error code
    });
  });
};

We make a POST request with Axios.

Then in the then callback, we call dispatch to dispatch our actions.

And then we call browserHistory.push to navigate.

We called createBrowserHistory to get the browserHistory object.
