5/12 TIL: history obj & withRouter

• react-router-dom's <Link> vs. react-router-bootstrap's <LinkContainer>
  • the only difference is that <LinkContainer> allows us to wrap around bootstrap components
• i can access history's object properties using withRouter
  • import { withRouter } from "react-router"
  • you can access history object's properties with this HOC
  • e.g. export default withRouter(App)
  • had issue with a FC having 2 parameters—a function & history obj https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/issues/17355
• Higher-Order Component (HOC)
  • a function that takes a component and returns a new one
