## Summary

[Reference Documentation ↗](https://api.reactrouter.com/v7/functions/react-router.unstable_HistoryRouter.html)

A declarative [`<Router>`](../declarative-routers/Router) that accepts a pre-instantiated
`history` object.
It's important to note that using your own `history` object is highly discouraged
and may add two versions of the `history` library to your bundles unless you use
the same version of the `history` library that React Router uses internally.

## Signature

```tsx
function HistoryRouter({
  basename,
  children,
  history,
  useTransitions,
}: HistoryRouterProps)
```

## Props

### basename

Application basename

### children

``<Route>`` components describing your route configuration

### history

A `History` implementation for use by the router

### useTransitions

Control whether router state updates are internally wrapped in
[`React.startTransition`](https://react.dev/reference/react/startTransition).

- When left `undefined`, all router state updates are wrapped in
  `React.startTransition`
- When set to `true`, [`Link`](../components/Link) and [`Form`](../components/Form) navigations will be wrapped
  in `React.startTransition` and all router state updates are wrapped in
  `React.startTransition`
- When set to `false`, the router will not leverage `React.startTransition`
  on any navigations or state changes.
