How do I get the params of a route inside a react component Im using react containers from the react composer package if this is the whole route
https://learnbuildrepeat-tevinthuku.c9users.io/ReadProjectMeta/wD98XTTtpf8ceyRJT
How do I get only
wD98XTTtpf8ceyRJT
and store its value in a variable inside a react component. Ive tried to use
FlowRouter.getParam()
but it doesnt work. I keep getting undefined
import React from 'react';
export default class ReadProjectMetaLayout extends React.Component {
render() {
var category = FlowRouter.getQueryParam();
console.log(category);
return (
<div>
<h4>Hello World</h4>
</div>
)
}
}
this is the route
FlowRouter.route("/ReadProjectMeta/:_id", {
name: 'project.meta',
action(params) {
mount(ReadProjectMetaLayoutContainer, {
components: (<ReadProjectMeta _id={params._id}/>)
})
}
});
What could be the problem and how do I solve it
To only get the last part of the string:
location.pathname.substr((location.pathname.lastIndexOf('/')+1))
Another pure meteor based thing you can try is from this reference:
FlowRouter.getParam(":_id");
NOTE: Your solution didn't work as you are getting query parameter, query parameters are the parameters that are passed in the url after '?'
i.e. /apps/this-is-my-app?show=yes&color=red
Here in above code color and show are query parameters, while apps is a part of pathname
