reactjs - React Router Pass Param to Component

Question

const rootEl = document.getElementById('root');

ReactDOM.render(
    <BrowserRouter>
        <Switch>
            <Route exact path="/">
                <MasterPage />
            </Route>
            <Route exact path="/details/:id" >
                <DetailsPage />
            </Route>
        </Switch>
    </BrowserRouter>,
    rootEl
);

I am trying access the id in the DetailsPage component but it is not being accessible. I tried

<DetailsPage foo={this.props}/>

to pass parameters to the DetailsPage, but in vain.

export default class DetailsPage extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <div className="page">
            <Header />
            <div id="mainContentContainer" >

            </div>
            </div>
    );
    }
}

So any idea how to pass the ID on to the DetailsPage ?

Answer 1

I used this to access the ID in my component:

<Route path="/details/:id" component={DetailsPage}/>

And in the detail component:

export default class DetailsPage extends Component {
  render() {
    return(
      <div>
        <h2>{this.props.match.params.id}</h2>
      </div>
    )
  }
}

This will render any ID inside an h2, hope that helps someone.
