We also made it explicit in this release that you can't use contextTypes to access properties on this.context.router anymore. If you try, you'll get a warning. That's our private API! If you need stuff on context, just use a or withRouter instead. It's all the same stuff, and that's our public API 👍

🚨 In a future release, we will remove the old context API entirely so your app will break if you were using our private API. 🚨

Since react-router-bootstrap uses the forbidden contextTypes, this PR addresses that.

In short, LinkContainer is now exported by default, wrapped by withRouter. This exposes history and such directly as a property on LinkContainer.

Additionally, the original unwrapped LinkContainer class is exported, if desired.

Summary of changes:

• IndexLinkContainer:
  • Wrapped withRouter as default export,
  • Now exports original component separately
• LinkContainer:
  • Wrapped withRouter as default export,
  • Now exports original component separately
  • contextTypes validation has been removed
  • propTypes now expects history object (required), as it is expected to be wrapped withRouter
  • Added propTypes: location, match, staticContext, since withRouter will provide them
  • this.context.router.history references replaced with this.props.history
  • Updated render() to strip props (location, match, staticContext) from children
• Tests updated to deal with wrapped component vs real component references
• git ignore updates
