I have created a route in React.js

<BrowserRouter>
    <div>
        <Header isLogged={this.state.isLoggedIn} userdata={this.props.userdata}/>
        <div className='container'>
          <Switch>
            <Route path="/" exact render={(props) => (<LoginPage handleLogIn={this.handleLogIn} alterLoginStatus={this.alterLoginStatus} {...props}/>)} />
            <Route path="/dashboard" exact component={DashboardPage}/>
              <Route path="/contact"  component={Contact}/>
              <Route component={PageNotFound} />
          </Switch>
        </div>
    </div>
</BrowserRouter>

In my Header component I have a button in navbar, upon which click I want to clear some localstorage and navigate to /login.

this.props.history.push('/login') is not working as I dont have access to router props inside Header component.

Please help me.

you can use browserHistory like : ``` browserHistory.push('/login') ``` and if you want to clear any localStorage then dispatch an action where you can clear localStorage and then navigate to /login route. – Osman Goni Nahid Nov 11 '17 at 12:51

` import {browserHistory} from 'react-router' ` logout() { localStorage.removeItem('key'); this.props.logoutHard(); browserHistory.push('/login'); } – Osman Goni Nahid Nov 11 '17 at 12:59
