react-router go back a page how do you configure history?

Question

Can anyone please tell me how I can go back to the previous page rather than a specific route?

When using this code:

var BackButton = React.createCla         


        

Answer 1

Call the following component like so:

And here is the component:

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import PropTypes from 'prop-types'
class BackButton extends Component {
  constructor() {
    super(...arguments)

    this.goBack = this.goBack.bind(this)
  }

  render() {
    return (
      
          Back
      
    )
  }

  goBack() {
    this.props.history.goBack()
  }
}

BackButton.propTypes = {
  history: PropTypes.object,
}

export default BackButton

I'm using:

"react": "15.6.1"
"react-router": "4.2.0"
