Can you put up the snippet that you're trying to execute? I would appreciate it if you elaborate on what output you are expecting.

From what I understand, you might what to try adding this before your return() :

const location = useLocation();

If you use Class Component then try this inside the render() method before the return() codeblock :

const { location } = this.props;

Then you can just go on and use location .
