react-route-props

This package is for easily passing extra props into react router's Route component. It adds a new component called RouteProps for achieving this.

Install

NPM

npm install react-route-props

Yarn

yarn add react-route-props

Usage

import { Component } from 'react'
import { Route, Switch, Redirect } from 'react-router-dom'

import RouteProps from 'react-route-props'

import SomeStandaloneComponent from './SomeStandaloneComponent'
import SomeComponentWithProps from './SomeComponentWithProps'

export default class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Switch>
        <Route path='/' component={SomeStandaloneComponent}/>
        <RouteProps path='/route' component={SomeComponentWithProps} someProps={'Stringy String'} moreProps={5}/>
        <RouteProps exact path='/another' component={SomeComponentWithProps} someProps={'Example String'}/>
        <RouteProps component={Redirect} to={'/'}/>
      </Switch>
    )
  }
}

RouteProps is just like Route with the difference of being able to pass extra props to the given component. Be careful with conflicting prop names for Route. You should add Route props to the left of the component prop as seen above with the exact prop.

There may be better ways to approach this, but this works for my projects using react-router-v4.
