React + Redux + Storybook: How to use connected react router's useParams when writing storybook stories?

Question

I have a react component that grabs an id from the route and uses that to load some data and populate the redux state.

I am using useParams from 'react-router' to do this.

import { useParams } from 'react-router'

import { usePreload } from './hooks'
import Display from './Display'

const Overview = () => {
  const { id } = useParams()
  const { data } = usePreload(id) // uses useEffect to preload the data with the given id

  return <Display data={data} />
}

export default Overview

I've got a story

import Overview from './Overview'

import preloadData from './decorators/preloadData'

export default {
  title: 'Redux/scenes/Overview',
  decorators: [preloadData()],
  component: Overview,
  argTypes: {}
}

const Template = args => <Overview {...args} />

export const Default = Template.bind({})

The preloadData decorator is simply

import { usePreload } from '../hooks'
import { data } from './fixtures'

const Loaded = ({ children }) => {
  useSubmissionsPreload(data.id) // loads the site data into the state

  return <>{children}</>
}

const preloadData = () => Story => (
  <Loaded>
    <Story />
  </Loaded>
)

export default preloadData

The code all works fine when actually running in the site but when running within a story there is no :id in the path for useParams to pick up.

For now I am just going to skip this story and just test the Display component, but the completist in me demands to know how to get this to work.

I also had the problem and the comment from De2ev pointed me in the right direction. It did however not work directly and I had to make slight changes. In the end it worked with the following code:

import React from "react";
import { Meta } from "@storybook/react";
import MyComponent from "./MyComponent";
import { MemoryRouter, Route} from "react-router-dom";

export default {
    title: "My Title",
    component: MyComponent,
    decorators: [(Story) => (
        <MemoryRouter initialEntries={["/path/58270ae9-c0ce-42e9-b0f6-f1e6fd924cf7"]}>
            <Route path="/path/:myId">
                <Story />
            </Route>
        </MemoryRouter>)],
} as Meta;

export const Default = () => <MyComponent />;
