Moving from redux-router to react-router-redux

[Vincz]

I'm facing an issue with redux-router. I need to access the store's state in a route hook (onEnter).
It is not possible with redux-router as stated here : acdlite/redux-router#32
So, i get the error about the fact that i'm trying to access the store state even if i don't.
Another interesting read is : acdlite/redux-router#172

Maybe is it time to move on?

What exactly would you do in onEnter?

The current design of redux-router is unable to create store before creating routes for some reason:

I fixed the issue in redux-router.
acdlite/redux-router#272
You can leave a comment there if you want to speed up the merging process.

In the meanwhile I'll be migrating to react-router-redux just for fun

I investigated the possibility of moving to react-router-redux and it's currently not that suitable because it fires before route matching is performed where as redux-router does it after.
This is not critical, i.e. redux-router could be dropped, but the code style would change: instead of just @preload() it would be:

<Route component={Page} onEnter={Page.preload}/>

Which is more verbose.

While the aforementioned PR is being considered a workaround is to run the code inside onEnter in a setTimeout(..., 0) wrapper.

In version 5.0.2 I added onEnter substitute

Version 9.0.0 no longer uses redux-router and seems to work. See HISTORY for more details.
