how do I acces express params in my react component

Question

I'm trying to create a React application using Express as a back-end

I have this route set up in express

 app.get('/manage/:id', (req, res) => {
    // redirect to react application
 });

I want to be able to make my React component get data from my database (to then use it), but I need the id for that.

Any suggestions on how I can access the:id in my React component?

Answer 1

Get the URL from the window.location object and parse it:

UPDATE: window.location.pathname.split('/').reverse()[0]
