How to use React Router with Electron?

I'm using React Router v4 and didn't want to fallback to the HashRouter, so I solved it with something amongst the likes of:

import { Redirect, BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom';

const App = () => (
  <BrowserRouter>
    <div>
      {window.location.pathname.includes('index.html') && <Redirect to="/" />}
    </div>
  </BrowserRouter>
);

Had to Replace BrowserRouter with HashRouter.

import {
  HashRouter,
  Route
} from "react-router-dom";

And then in my index.js or the entry file of the Electron app I had something like this:

<HashRouter>
  <div>
    <Route path="/" exact     component={ Home } />
    <Route path="/firstPage"  component={ FirstPage } />
    <Route path="/secondPage" component={ SecondPage } />
  </div>
</HashRouter>

And then everything just worked.

The reasoning: BrowserRouter is meant for request-based environments whereas HashRouter is meant for file-based environments.

Another option would be to use hashHistory instead. Actually, in your referenced repo you can see that they're using hashHistory, how about trying that and posting back?
