How to access 'this.props.match.params' along with other props?

Question

I have this code in my parent component:

<Route path='/champions/:id' render={(props) => <ChampionDetails {...props} match={this.handleMatch}/>}/>

where the match prop will be a function that retrieves data from the child component (ChampionDetails). A snippet of my ChampionDetails (child) component:

    import React, { Component } from 'react';

    class ChampionDetails extends Component {
      state = {
        champId:this.props.match.params.id,
        champData:null,
        match:false
      }

      componentDidMount(){
        console.log('ChampionDet mounted')
        this.handleChampInfo();
        console.log(this.props.match)
      }

      componentDidUpdate(){
        console.log('ChampionDet updated')
      }


      handleChampInfo=()=>{
        let champData = [];
        let id = this.state.champId
        console.log(id)
        fetch('/api/getChampion?id='+id)
          .then(data=> { return data.json() })
          .then(json=> {
            console.log(json.data);
            champData.push(json.data);
            this.setState({
              champData:json.data,
              match:true
            })
            this.props.match(true)
            // this.props.history.push('/champions/'+id)
          })
          .catch(err=>{
            console.log(err)
          })
      }

      render(){
        return(
          <div>
            <p>{this.state.champId}</p>
            {this.state.champData===null ? null:<p>{this.state.champData.roles}</p>}
          </div>
        )
      }
    }

    export default ChampionDetails;

The problem here is that if I have the match={} in my parent's route, then this.props.match.params.id will become undefined. If I remove match={} then I can retrieve this.props.match.params.id

I would like to know if its possible to be able to pass other props while still have access to this.props.match.params.id in my case.

Any help will be much appreciated!

If you're using react-router version >=4, you should be able to access the router params at any component inside the router via withRouter HOC. For instance:

import { withRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
...
export withRouter(ChampionDetails);
