ReactJS - Pass props with Redirect component

Question

How should you pass props with the Redirect component without having them exposed in the url?

Like this <Redirect to="/order?id=123 />"? I'm using react-router-dom.

Answer 1

You can pass data with Redirect like this:

<Redirect to={{
            pathname: '/order',
            state: { id: '123' }
        }}
/>

and this is how you can access it:

this.props.location.state.id

The API docs explain how to pass state and other variables in Redirect / History prop.
