Fixing the "Cannot use useLocation outside of RouterProvider" Error in React Router

When developing with React Router, you might encounter the error:

[[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]]

This error commonly surfaces when attempting to use the useLocation hook outside of a valid routing context, which is necessary for routing functionalities to work correctly.

In this guide, we'll explore why this error occurs and provide a solution to ensure that your components like EDProgressBar can access routing properties, even when required on every page of your application.

Understanding the Problem

The useLocation hook is designed to provide information about the current URL and is tightly coupled with the React Router context. If this hook is called outside of a <Router> component, React will throw an error, indicating that the routing context is not available.

Why You Encounter This Error

Hook Context: The useLocation hook needs a routing context, meaning it should be used within a component that is nested under a React Router <Router> or <RouterProvider>.

Component Placement: If you place your component that uses useLocation at the same level as the <RouterProvider>, it will not have access to the routing context.

Solution: Create a Layout Route

To resolve this issue, a recommended approach is to create a layout route that will render shared components like EDProgressBar and EDNotification along with any routes defined in your application.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Let's walk through a solution that includes refactoring your RouterBuilder file to utilize an AppLayout component.

Create an App Layout Component: This component will serve as the wrapper for shared components and the outlet for routed components.

Refactor the RouterBuilder: Ensure the layout component is included as the main element in your route structure. Modify the routes to contain the layout and the actual pages.

Use the Router in the App View: Ensure your component leverages the updated routes.

Conclusion

By creating an AppLayout that contains your shared components, you ensure that the EDProgressBar and EDNotification can access the routing context via React Router. This not only adheres to the structure of React Router but also simplifies the management of components that should be rendered across different pages of the application.

If you follow the steps outlined in this guide, you should be able to eliminate the error and maintain a clean routing structure in your application. Happy coding!
