Is there anything like match object and use of it in React Router Dom v6?

I am trying to follow up the course with React Router Dom version 6 installed and it gets pretty confusing. Is there still a use of an older version in a real world?

Hi Gennadii Chamorsov,

Great question! Have you checked out the React Router v6 documentation yet? You'll be able to find all changes there along with some great examples.

As for a match alternative it depends on what you want to do with this object. There are a couple of hooks like useParams which you can use to retrieve the query parameters.

When following along with this video I'd suggest to stick to React Router v5.3.0 as mentioned in the Teachers Notes, this was the latest stable release before they recently updated to v6. As the update was quite recently this is currently still being used in the real world, also v6 no longer works with Class based components.

Hope this helps 🙂
