I’m not proud of this but it works fine. I’ll keep an eye on this not breaking in the React repo 😄

This is safe because React makes no guarantees about when this method can be called

I think on net this is a bit messier than the earlier implementation that just updated the router object in-place. |

Yea. On the other hand, this keeps the desired property of |
|
I mean, it's an unfortunate caveat to have, but I'm guessing it's probably slightly more performant to not recreate the object every time. Having to keep the same object identity is a caveat that I can live with. |

I think this would only be relevant if navigation was something that’s performed hundreds of time per second. I wouldn’t expect this to have any measurable performance in this particular scenario. Happy to change it though. You sure? |
|
What I like about this is while it’s messier on the net, the messy bits are all in the “polyfill”. As opposed to spreading through the legit code. |

I’m fairly content with what I posted before but I added 893cbf0 as a minimally invasive alternative approach. It adds |

cc @jquense who's done some stuff to work around this issue. At this point I'm really torn. |

Ultimately we can go either way and switch if we find problems later. I’d probably use the last commit because it doesn’t touch |
|
Yeah, I'm fine with imposing a bit of extra work on the users of this polyfill I think. Probably I'd be happier mutating my context objects in place rather than worrying that setting |
|
In case we want to change the mind later, the test case I added should catch any mistakes. |
|
I'm happy with this for now. |
|
@taion One last problem is this still doesn’t update containers with shallow equality check. We can either revert the last commit or add a bogus prop just to force an update. |

Alternatively, we can inject |

Yeah. That’s the primary use case I’m trying to get support for because it’s very common in Redux apps. |
