React-Bootstrap link item in a navitem

2020 upd: tested with react-boostrap: 1.0.0-beta.16 and react-router-dom: 5.1.2

2019 upd: for those who are working with react-bootstrap v4 (using 1.0.0-beta.5 currently) and react-router-dom v4 (4.3.1) just use "as" prop from Nav.Link, here is full example:

import { Link, NavLink } from 'react-router-dom'
import { Navbar, Nav } from 'react-bootstrap'

<Navbar>
  {/* "Link" in brand component since just redirect is needed */}
  <Navbar.Brand as={Link} to='/'>Brand link</Navbar.Brand>
  <Nav>
    {/* "NavLink" here since "active" class styling is needed */}
    <Nav.Link as={NavLink} to='/' exact>Home</Nav.Link>
    <Nav.Link as={NavLink} to='/another'>Another</Nav.Link>
    <Nav.Link as={NavLink} to='/onemore'>One More</Nav.Link>
  </Nav>
</Navbar>

Here is working example: https://codesandbox.io/s/3qm35w97kq

Using LinkContainer from react-router-bootstrap is the way to go. The following code should work.

import { Route, RouteHandler, Link } from 'react-router';
import AuthService from '../services/AuthService'
import { Button, Nav, Navbar, NavDropdown, MenuItem, NavItem } from 'react-bootstrap';
import { LinkContainer } from 'react-router-bootstrap';

/// In the render() method
<Nav pullRight>
  <LinkContainer to="/home">
    <NavItem eventKey={1}>Home</NavItem>
  </LinkContainer>
  <LinkContainer to="/book">
    <NavItem eventKey={2}>Book Inv</NavItem>
  </LinkContainer>
  <NavDropdown eventKey={3} title="Authorization" id="basic-nav-dropdown">
    <LinkContainer to="/logout">
      <MenuItem eventKey={3.1}>Logout</MenuItem>    
    </LinkContainer>      
  </NavDropdown>  
</Nav>

This is mostly a note to future self, when googling this issue. I hope someone else might benefit from the answer.
