this.props not accessible when using ApolloClient

I am using apollo-boost and I have created an ApolloClient and I want to do some redirection after a mutation is run but I cannot access the props

index.js

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { BrowserRouter } from "react-router-dom";
import { ApolloProvider } from "react-apollo";
import ApolloClient from "apollo-boost";

import "./bootstrap";
import Routes from "./RoutesComponent";

const client = new ApolloClient({
  uri: "http://localhost:4000/graphql"
});

const Root = () => {
  return (
    <ApolloProvider client={client}>
      <BrowserRouter>
        <Routes />
      </BrowserRouter>
    </ApolloProvider>
  );
};

ReactDOM.render(<Root />, document.querySelector("#root"));

RoutesComponent

import React, { Component } from "react";
import { Route, Switch } from "react-router-dom";

import Register from "./authenticate/register/RegisterComponent";
import Login from "./authenticate/login/LoginComponent";
import Product from "./customers/product/ProductComponent";
import AddProduct from "./customers/add-product/AddProductComponent";
import Products from "./customers/products/ProductsComponent";
import AdminProduct from "./admin/product/ProductComponent";
import AdminProducts from "./admin/products/ProductsComponent";

class RoutesComponent extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Switch>
        <Route path="/products/new" render={() => <AddProduct />} />
      </Switch>
    );
  }
}
export default RoutesComponent;

AddProductComponent

import React, { Component } from "react";

class AddProductComponent extends Component {
  render() {
    console.log(this.props);
    return (
      <div>
        <h1>AddProductComponent</h1>
      </div>
    );
  }
}
export default AddProductComponent;

this.props in console shows {}

to mitigate this I also tried using history package and it changes the url but redirection does not work

I can do the redirection using state but I would rather do it using history prop than state.

any advise on this will be appreciated.

The Route's render function takes props as argument and since you're not passing it, it won't be available in the component

<Route path="/products/new" render={() => <AddProduct />} />

Fixed:

<Route path="/products/new" component={AddProduct} />
