[Feature Request] Use indexRedirect in route's configuration object

Hello,

I tried to use indexRedirect in a route configuration object, but it seems that it’s ignored.

Would it be possible to add it with a syntax like :

indexRedirect: { to: "path" },

Thanks to all the contributors for this awesome library.

No – the issue tracker is not the place for support questions.

@timdorr This doesn’t work for me, I also have an infinite redirect loop, like the last comment on the issue : https://github.com/reactjs/react-router/issues/2256#issuecomment-151993906

The route in question :

import { view } from "./view"
import { update } from "./update"
import { route as rechercheRoute } from "./components/Recherche"
import { route as saisieRoute } from "./components/Saisie"

export const route = {
  component: view,
  reducer: update,
  onEnter: (_, replaceState) => { replaceState(null, saisieRoute.path) },
  childRoutes: [
    rechercheRoute,
    saisieRoute
  ]
}

I assume I have to find the way to redirect only when no child is matched (this is what IndexRoute does).

Sorry to bother you all, I’ll continue on stackoverflow/discordapp instead,

have a nice day ! 👍
