I'm getting

pathname.match is not a function

error when I use matchPath of react-router.

Here is the code that throws the exception:

import { matchPath, useLocation } from "react-router";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Routes, Route, Link } from "react-router-dom";

const MatcherControl = () => {
  const location = useLocation();
  const match = matchPath(location.pathname, {
    path: "/users/:id",
    exact: true,
    strict: false
  });
  return <div>{match ? "matches" : "not matches"}</div>;
};

This is the minimal example sandbox to reproduce the error.

You are using react-router v6 that the order of matchPath arguments is inverted in new version:

declare function matchPath<
  ParamKey extends string = string
>(
  pattern: PathPattern | string,
  pathname: string
): PathMatch<ParamKey> | null;

interface PathMatch<ParamKey extends string = string> {
  params: Params<ParamKey>;
  pathname: string;
  pattern: PathPattern;
}

interface PathPattern {
  path: string;
  caseSensitive?: boolean;
  end?: boolean;
}

Check it here

You should pass the pattern first , and then pathname :

const match = matchPath(
  { path: "/users/:id" },
  location.pathname,
);
