npm install react-router-last-location@2.0.0-beta.3
# or
npm install react-router-last-location@latest

Declare <LastLocationProvider /> inside <Router />.

index.js

import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Link } from 'react-router-dom';
import { LastLocationProvider } from 'react-router-last-location';
import Home from './pages/Home';
import About from './pages/About';
import Contact from './pages/Contact';
import Logger from './components/Logger';

const App = () => (
  <Router>
    <LastLocationProvider>
      <div>
        <ul>
          <li><Link to="/">Home</Link></li>
          <li><Link to="/about">About</Link></li>
          <li><Link to="/contact">Contact</Link></li>
        </ul>

        <hr />

        <Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
        <Route path="/about" component={About} />
        <Route path="/contact" component={Contact} />

        <hr />

        <Logger />
      </div>
    </LastLocationProvider>
  </Router>
);

render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

Use hook useLastLocation to get lastLocation.

./components/Logger, see example

import React from 'react';
import { useLastLocation } from 'react-router-last-location';

const Logger = () => {
  const lastLocation = useLastLocation();

  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Logger!</h2>
      <pre>
        {JSON.stringify(lastLocation)}
      </pre>
    </div>
  );
};

export default LoggerHooks;

Use HOC withLastLocation to get lastLocation prop.

./components/Logger, see example

import React from 'react';
import { withLastLocation } from 'react-router-last-location';

const Logger = ({ lastLocation }) => (
  <div>
    <h2>Logger!</h2>
    <pre>
      {JSON.stringify(lastLocation)}
    </pre>
  </div>
);

export default withLastLocation(Logger);

Props
