useLocation in v4

I'm using

const location = useLocation()
const { products, code } = location.state as any

const location = useLocation()
const { products, code } = location.state as any

but got Uncaught Error: useLocation() may be used only in the context of a <Router> component.

Hi @ganuzaz. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- It seems like you're trying to use the useLocation hook outside of a router context. To fix this issue, make sure you're using the useLocation hook within a component that is wrapped by a router provider. In refine, you can use the useRouterContext hook to access the router context. Here's an example of how to use it:

import { useRouterContext } from "@refinedev/core";

const MyComponent: React.FC = () => {
  const { useLocation } = useRouterContext();
  const location = useLocation();
  const { products, code } = location.state as any;

  // Your component logic here
};

import { useRouterContext } from "@refinedev/core";

const MyComponent: React.FC = () => {
  const { useLocation } = useRouterContext();
  const location = useLocation();
  const { products, code } = location.state as any;

  // Your component logic here
};

Also, ensure that you have properly set up the router provider in your App.tsx or similar file. For example, if you're using React Router v6:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import routerProvider from "@refinedev/react-router-v6";
import { BrowserRouter } from "react-router-dom";

const App: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <BrowserRouter>
      <Refine routerProvider={routerProvider}>
        {/* Your components here */}
      </Refine>
    </BrowserRouter>
  );
};

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import routerProvider from "@refinedev/react-router-v6";
import { BrowserRouter } from "react-router-dom";

const App: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <BrowserRouter>
      <Refine routerProvider={routerProvider}>
        {/* Your components here */}
      </Refine>
    </BrowserRouter>
  );
};

For more information on setting up router providers in refine, refer to the router provider documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/providers/router-provider). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Hi, bot is right. are u using useLocation inside <BrowserRouter> ?

correct-apricot•16mo ago

yes i think its just the wrong import im trying it rn

sensitive-blue•16mo ago

import { useLocation } from 'react-router-dom'; is this import cause error ?

correct-apricot•16mo ago

yes it was that then i changed it into import { useRouterContext } from "@refinedev/core"; const {useLocation} = useRouterContext() const location = useLocation() still same error my App.tsx is basically like this

  <BrowserRouter>

      <ConfigProvider >
          <Refine
          routerProvider={routerProvider}

I might miss something tho because im migrating from v3

sensitive-blue•16mo ago

In which component are you using useLocation?

correct-apricot•16mo ago

create component const ConfigurationCreate: React.FC = () => {}

sensitive-blue•16mo ago

is ConfigurationCreate inside resource ? or, as a child of <BrowserRouter> ?

correct-apricot•16mo ago

inside the ...configuration

sensitive-blue•16mo ago

oh ok

correct-apricot•16mo ago

configuration is is an array of resources { name: "config/area", meta: { label: "Configuration, route: "config/area", parent : "config", icon: <IoTimerOutline/>, }, create: ConfigurationCreate },

sensitive-blue•16mo ago

i try to reproduce the problem but couldn't yet

correct-apricot•16mo ago

kind of like that hmm and the parent is like this

    {
        name: "config",
        meta:{
          label: "Configuration Parent",
          route: "config",
          icon: <IoFileTrayStackedOutline/>,
        }
      },

    {
        name: "config",
        meta:{
          label: "Configuration Parent",
          route: "config",
          icon: <IoFileTrayStackedOutline/>,
        }
      },

even if i removed the resources props in the Refine element, the error still popping out could there be something im missing from package.json or vite stuffs?

sensitive-blue•16mo ago

maybe. it's a long shot but you can remove package.lock.json and node_modules and try to install again
