Custom history outside of react router

You can define your own history outside of the react router :

  pnpm add history

1. Create independent history

   // history.ts
   import { createBrowserHistory } from 'history'
   
   export const history = createBrowserHistory()
   
   // or
   // import { createBrowserHistory } from '@remix-run/router'
   // export const history = createBrowserHistory({ v5Compat: true })

2. Replace <BrowserRouter> and inject history instance

   import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-use-history'
   import { history } from './history'
   
   function Root() {
     return (
       <BrowserRouter history={history}>
         {/* ... */}
       </BrowserRouter>
     )
   }

3. Then you can use history anywhere

   // anywhere.ts
   import { history } from './history'
   
   history.push('/page')
