Why is this.props.history undefined despite having used withRouter? - reactjs

Question

I'm trying to do this.props.history.push... in my component, but even after making sure that I'm exporting it using withRouter I still get this error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'push' of undefined
I also made sure that the parent component that's using this is wrapped inside of a ProtectedRoute as well:
// my component:
import React from 'react';
import { withRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
class UserIndexItem extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind(this);
this.play = this.play.bind(this);
}
handleClick(e) {
if (!e.target.classList.contains("triangle")) {
this.props.history.push(`/playlist/${this.props.playlist.id}`);
}
}
handleTrack(playlist) {
// still going forward one, then back one, and then it plays normally...
if (!playlist.payload.tracks) return;
let tracks = Object.values(playlist.payload.tracks);
let currentTrack = tracks[0];
let nextTrack = tracks[1];
this.props.receiveCurrentTrack(currentTrack);
this.props.receiveNextTrack(nextTrack);
this.props.receiveTitle(currentTrack.title);
this.props.receiveArtist(currentTrack.artist);
this.props.receiveAlbumId(currentTrack.album_id);
}
play() {
const { playlist } = this.props;
this.props.requestSinglePlaylist(this.props.playlist.id).then(playlist => this.handleTrack(playlist));
this.props.receivePlaylistId(playlist.id);
}
render() {
const { playlist } = this.props;
return (
<li>
<div className="playlist-image" onClick={ this.handleClick }>
<div className="play-button" onClick={ this.play }>
<div className="triangle right"></div>
<div className="circle"></div>
</div>
<div className="overlay"></div>
<img src={playlist.photo_url} alt="Playlist thumbnail" onClick={ this.handleClick }/>
</div>
<div className="playlist-name">
<Link to={`/playlist/${playlist.id}`}>{ playlist.title}</Link>
</div>
</li>
);
}
}
export default withRouter(UserIndexItem);
// my parent component:
import React from 'react';
import UserIndexItem from './user_index_item';
import { selectTracksFromPlaylist } from '../../reducers/selectors';
class UserIndex extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
}
render() {
const { user, playlists } = this.props;
return(
<div className="user-index-container">
<div className="header">
<h1>{ user.username }</h1>
<h2>Public Playlists</h2>
</div>
<div className="playlists">
<ul>
{ playlists.map(playlist =>
<UserIndexItem
key={ playlist.id }
playlist={ playlist }
requestSinglePlaylist={ this.props.requestSinglePlaylist }
receiveCurrentTrack={ this.props.receiveCurrentTrack }
receiveNextTrack = { this.props.receiveNextTrack }
receiveTitle={ this.props.receiveTitle }
receiveArtist={ this.props.receiveArtist }
receivePlaylistId={ this.props.receivePlaylistId }
receiveAlbumId={ this.props.receiveAlbumId }
/>)
}
</ul>
</div>
</div>
);
}
}
export default UserIndex;
// my route that's using the parent component:
<ProtectedRoute path="/users/:userId" component={UserIndex} />
// my ProtectedRoute implementation:
const Protected = ({ component: Component, path, loggedIn, exact }) => (
<Route path={ path } exact={ exact } render={ (props) => (
loggedIn ? (
<Component {...props} />
) : (
<Redirect to="/welcome" />
)
) }/>
);

Answer 1

You can try like this:
<ProtectedRoute path="/users/:userId" component={props => <UserIndex {...props} />} />
Please let me know if this is working.
Thanks.

Answer 2

I think that {...props} need to call inside UserIndexItem as well.
According to my understand inside the App.js you need to pass {...props} to child component otherwise it don't have parent properties
// this ProtectedRoute should change according to your requirement. I just put sample code
const ProtectedRoute = ({ component: Component, ...rest }) => (
<Route {...rest} render={(props) => (
? <Component {...props} />
: <Redirect to="/Login"/>
)} />
)
<ProtectedRoute path="/users/:userId" component={UserIndex} />
// my parent component:
<UserIndexItem
key={ playlist.id }
playlist={ playlist }
requestSinglePlaylist={ this.props.requestSinglePlaylist }
receiveCurrentTrack={ this.props.receiveCurrentTrack }
receiveNextTrack = { this.props.receiveNextTrack }
receiveTitle={ this.props.receiveTitle }
receiveArtist={ this.props.receiveArtist }
receivePlaylistId={ this.props.receivePlaylistId }
receiveAlbumId={ this.props.receiveAlbumId }
{...this.props}
/>
