Property 'history' does not exist on type 'IntrinsicAttributes

Question

I'm wrapping react app in Router with passing createBrowserHistory prop. But getting "property 'history' does not exist on type 'IntrinsicAttributes & RouterPops"

Here is my index.tsx

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import "./index.css";
import App from "./App";
import { Router } from "react-router-dom";
import history from "../src/utils/history";

ReactDOM.render(
    <Router history={history}>
    <App />
  </Router>,
  document.getElementById("root")
);

Here is my history.tsx

import { createBrowserHistory } from "history";

const history = createBrowserHistory();

export default history;

I'm using react-router-dom v6.0.2

I suspect you could implement a bit more of the logic of one of the higher level routers and get the behavior you want with a custom history object.

BrowserRouter implementation for example:

export function BrowserRouter({
  basename,
  children,
  window
}: BrowserRouterProps) {
  let historyRef = React.useRef<BrowserHistory>();
  if (historyRef.current == null) {
    historyRef.current = createBrowserHistory({ window });
  }

  let history = historyRef.current;
  let [state, setState] = React.useState({
    action: history.action,
    location: history.location
  });

  React.useLayoutEffect(() => history.listen(setState), [history]);

  return (
    <Router
      basename={basename}
      children={children}
      location={state.location}
      navigationType={state.action}
      navigator={history}
    />
  );
}

Create a CustomRouter that consumes a custom history object and manages the state:

const CustomRouter = ({ history, ...props }) => {
  const [state, setState] = useState({
    action: history.action,
    location: history.location
  });

  useLayoutEffect(() => history.listen(setState), [history]);

  return (
    <Router
      {...props}
      location={state.location}
      navigationType={state.action}
      navigator={history}
    />
  );
};
