React-router: browserHistory with custom basename

[zettadam]

As I understand from the docs, history module is built into react-router. How would one use browserHistory with a custom basename?

Let's say I have a number of smaller, independent React apps deployed with their own paths, like http://somebigapp.com/app1/, http://somebigapp.com/app2/. Is there a way to pass an option to browserHistory where I could define basename for my apps, or does browserHistory assume / as the root path?

Hmm... perhaps improved documentation would solve this issue.

So what is the canonical way of doing this? Creating a router and passing in the history? If so I've tried this so far with no luck.
