Route props

[christiannwamba]

React router which I'm used to, passes route information via props to contained components.

I was hoping to access route payload information via props in Next but it turns out props is an empty object by default.

Is there a way to get information about the current page route like location, param, etc?

Router is a singleton, so you can import from next/router it and get his properties(which is pretty much what react router does, it exposes history package as a singleton)

https://github.com/zeit/next.js/blob/af1afa472be7e8ab15711c84545a92c2a07d223b/lib/router/index.js#L60

at mysite.com?name=jaga

import Router from 'next/router'

Router.pathname // '/'
Router.query // {name: "jaga"}
Router.route // '/'
