How to do a redirect to another route with react-router?

I am trying to do A SIMPLE using react-router ( version ^1.0.3 ) to redirect to another view and I am just getting tired.

import React from 'react';
import {Router, Route, Link, RouteHandler} from 'react-router';


class HomeSection extends React.Component {

  static contextTypes = {
    router: PropTypes.func.isRequired
  };

  constructor(props, context) {
    super(props, context);
  }

  handleClick = () => {
    console.log('HERE!', this.contextTypes);
    // this.context.location.transitionTo('login');
  };

  render() {
    return (
      <Grid>
        <Row className="text-center">          
          <Col md={12} xs={12}>
            <div className="input-group">
              <span className="input-group-btn">
                <button onClick={this.handleClick} type="button">
                </button>
              </span>
            </div>
          </Col>
        </Row>
      </Grid>
    );
  }
};

HomeSection.contextTypes = {
  location() {
    React.PropTypes.func.isRequired
  }
}

export default HomeSection;

all I need is to send the use to '/login' and that's it.

What can I do ?

errors in console:

Uncaught ReferenceError: PropTypes is not defined

    For the simple answer, you can use Link component from react-router, instead of button. There is ways to change the route in JS, but seems you don't need that here. 

    <span className="input-group-btn">
  <Link to="/login" />Click to login</Link>
</span>

    To do it programmatically in 1.0.x, you do like this, inside your clickHandler function:

    this.history.pushState(null, 'login');

    Taken from upgrade doc here

    You should have this.history placed on your route handler component by react-router. If it child component beneath that mentioned in routes definition, you may need pass that down further
