TypeScript enhances React Router by providing strong typing for route parameters, history, and navigation. This gives you type safety when navigating between routes and handling URL parameters in your React application.
Firstly, define the types for your route parameters. For instance, if you have a route with a parameter userId, you can create a type:
type UserRouteParams = {
userId: string;
}
Now, use this type with RouteComponentProps
from react-router-dom to type your component props:
import { RouteComponentProps } from 'react-router-dom';
const UserPage: React.FC<RouteComponentProps<UserRouteParams>> //...
This ensures that userId
is always treated as a string within your component, preventing type-related bugs.
