My login application (react) and actual (react) application are in the same domain. My login application sets localStorage when user logs in successfully. In my actual application i have to check that value . if it is not there i have to redirect to login application in onload . What is the best practice to do that

In that case you cannot use Router, you need to use window.location – Shubham Khatri May 08 '18 at 07:50

You can check it in the componentDidMount life cycle method as below.
class LoggedInComponent extends Component {
componentDidMount() {
if (!localStorage.get('loggedIn')) {
window.location = "/login";
// You mentioned login app and actual app is deferent.
// So you should use window.location
// Otherwise you can use react-router's router.push('/login') function.
}
}
}
Use componentDidMount only. Because react v17 is going to deprecate the componentWillMount function.

No you cannot do it with the router if both applications are different. – Akhil P May 08 '18 at 07:40
