React Router v4 – How to get current route?

In the 5.1 release of react-router there is a hook called useLocation, which returns the current location object. This might useful any time you need to know the current URL.

import { useLocation } from 'react-router-dom'

function HeaderView() {
  const location = useLocation();
  console.log(location.pathname);
  return <span>Path : {location.pathname}</span>
}
