# useRouteMatch

Execute React Router's matching algorithm against the registered routes and a given location to determine if any route match the location.

const match = useRouteMatch(locationArg)

• locationArg: The location to match the route paths against.
• options: An optional object literal of options:
  • throwWhenThereIsNoMatch: Whether or not to throw an Error if no route match locationArg.

A Route object if there's a matching route, otherwise if throwWhenThereIsNoMatch is enabled and no route match the given location, an Error is thrown.

If throwWhenThereIsNoMatch is disabled and there's no route matching locationArg, undefined is returned.
