in this component this: <ScrollToPart>

Using ScrollToPart
I can detect the changes with the anchor link I can move to that particular part. (I have some pagination feature, which navigates me to the 'my-list' and 'team-list').
I am not able to move to either of the sections when my page loads.
The element
is being passed as null in the ScrollToPart
component when page loads/reloads.
Can you please help?
Here is the answer,
just set the timer, until it finds the element. https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/issues/394#issuecomment-141526205
Hope this helps
