[javascript] No restricted globals

I am using React and Redux to develop a webapp and when I started up my project I got this:

Line 13:  Unexpected use of 'location'  no-restricted-globals

Search for the keywords to learn more about each error.

I search a lot about how to resolve it, but none of the answers I found helped me, so I turned to Stack overflow.

Does anyone know how to fix this error? I appreciate all the help I can get.

Use react-router-dom library.

From there, import useLocation hook if you're using functional components:

import { useLocation } from 'react-router-dom';

Then append it to a variable:

Const location = useLocation();

You can then use it normally:

location.pathname

P.S: the returned location object has five properties only:

{ hash: "", key: "", pathname: "/" search: "", state: undefined__, }

Perhaps you could try passing location into the component as a prop. Below I use ...otherProps. This is the spread operator, and is valid but unneccessary if you passed in your props explicitly it's just there as a place holder for demonstration purposes. Also, research destructuring to understand where ({ location }) came from.

import React from 'react';
import withRouter from 'react-router-dom';

const MyComponent = ({ location, ...otherProps }) => (whatever you want to render)


export withRouter(MyComponent);

/* eslint no-restricted-globals:0 */

is another alternate approach

For me I had issues with history and location... As the accepted answer using window before history and location (i.e) window.history and window.location solved mine

This is a simple and maybe not the best solution, but it works.

On the line above the line you get your error, paste this:

// eslint-disable-next-line no-restricted-globals
