Get path params in react-router v4
I'm trying to build a router link through my application,
In this scenario, I have three files.
App.js
Book.js
DetailedView.js
I have inside of Book built up a <Link>
that only appears when hovered ( over a book cover )
{this.state.isHovered ? (
<Link to={`/details/${this.props.book.industryIdentifiers[1].identifier}`}>
<div className="hover-box"></div>
</Link>) : ( <div /> )}
This will take me to a /details/12345 (isbn10 number)
The thing I have a hard time to understand is how to for example
setState({iPressedThisBook})
when pressing <Link>
or if i can use the part after /12345
to create like a filter
Because in App
the Route
will be hooked up as...
<Route path="/details/:id" render={() => (
<BookDetailedView
bookStateUpdated = {this.bookStateUpdated}
book = {this.state.books}
/>
)}/>
I, later on, want to grab the :id
so that I make for example a this.props.book.find(:id)
inside of my <BookDetailedView>
In order to receive the path param in you component, you need to first connect your component with withRouter
HOC from react-router
so that you can access the Router props and get the path params
from the match
props as this.props.match.params.id
Sample Code:
import {withRouter} from 'react-router';
class BookDetailedView extends React.Component {
render() {
var id = this.props.match.params.id
}
}
export default withRouter(BookDetailedView) ;
or simply passing it with render prop in route as
<Route path="/details/:id" render={({match}) => (
<BookDetailedView
bookStateUpdated = {this.bookStateUpdated}
book = {this.state.books}
id={match.params.id}
/>
)}/>
From the React Documentation of match
match
A match object contains information about how a
<Route path>
matched the URL.match
objects contain the following properties:
- params - (object) Key/value pairs parsed from the URL corresponding to the dynamic segments of the path
- isExact - (boolean) true if the entire URL was matched (no trailing characters)
- path - (string) The path pattern used to match. Useful for building nested s
- url - (string) The matched portion of the URL. Useful for building nested s
You’ll have access match objects in various places:
- Route component as
this.props.match
- Route render as ({ match }) => ()
- Route children as ({ match }) => ()
- withRouter as this.props.match
- matchPath as the return value
If a Route does not have a path, and therefore always matches, you’ll get the closest parent match. Same goes for withRouter
