Material-UI's Tabs integration with react router 4?

Question

The new react-router syntax uses the Link component to move around the routes. But how could this be integrated with material-ui?

In my case, I'm using tabs as the main navigation system, So in theory I should have something like this:

const TabLink = ({ onClick, href, isActive, label }) => 
  <Tab
    label={label}
    onActive={onClick}
  />



export default class NavBar extends React.Component {
  render () {
    return (
      <Tabs>
        <Link to="/">{params => <TabLink label="Home" {...params}/>}</Link>
        <Link to="/shop">{params => <TabLink label="shop" {...params}/>}</Link>
        <Link to="/gallery">{params => <TabLink label="gallery" {...params}/>}</Link>
      </Tabs>
    )
  }
}

But when it renders, material-ui throws an error that the child of Tabs must be a Tab component. What could be the way to proceed? How do I manage the isActive prop for the tab?

Thanks in advance

Another solution (https://codesandbox.io/s/l4yo482pll) with no handlers nor HOCs, just pure react-router and material-ui components:

import React, { Fragment } from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import Tabs from "@material-ui/core/Tabs";
import Tab from "@material-ui/core/Tab";
import { Switch, Route, Link, BrowserRouter, Redirect } from "react-router-dom";

function App() {
  const allTabs = ['/', '/tab2', '/tab3'];

  return (
    <BrowserRouter>
      <div className="App">
        <Route
          path="/"
          render={({ location }) => (
            <Fragment>
              <Tabs value={location.pathname}>
                <Tab label="Item One" value="/" component={Link} to={allTabs[0]} />
                <Tab label="Item Two" value="/tab2" component={Link} to={allTabs[1]} />
                <Tab
                  value="/tab3"
                  label="Item Three"
                  component={Link}
                  to={allTabs[2]}
                />
              </Tabs>
              <Switch>
                <Route path={allTabs[1]} render={() => <div>Tab 2</div>} />
                <Route path={allTabs[2]} render={() => <div>Tab 3</div>} />
                <Route path={allTabs[0]} render={() => <div>Tab 1</div>} />
              </Switch>
            </Fragment>
          )}
        />
      </div>
    </BrowserRouter>
  );
}

const rootElement = document.getElementById("root");
ReactDOM.render(<App />, rootElement);
