React Rout v-4 `this.props.match.params` **undefined** and `staticContext` undefined

Question

I am using

    "react": "^15.6.1",
    "react-dom": "^15.6.1",
    "react-router": "^4.1.2",

Hare my rout :

<BrowserRouter>
        <div>
            <Route exact path='/' component={Layout}></Route>
            <Route path='/about' name="about" component={About}>
                <Route path="/:article" component={anotherAbout}></Route>
            </Route>
            <Route path='/protfolio' name="protfolio" component={Portfolio}></Route>
        </div>
    </BrowserRouter >

When i am call {this.props.match.params.article} it give undefined

And my Console: this.props

Why staticContext: undefined and my props.match.params null object.

Take a look at this basic example from the react-router v4 documentation.

Look at const Topics = ({ match }) => ( ... ) and you will see the nested routes at the bottom of this component. This is how you nest routes in react-router v4. If you fix this your problem should be resolved.

import React from 'react'
import {
  BrowserRouter as Router,
  Route,
  Link
} from 'react-router-dom'

const BasicExample = () => (
  <Router>
    <div>
      <ul>
        <li><Link to="/">Home</Link></li>
        <li><Link to="/about">About</Link></li>
        <li><Link to="/topics">Topics</Link></li>
      </ul>

      <hr/>

      <Route exact path="/" component={Home}/>
      <Route path="/about" component={About}/>
      <Route path="/topics" component={Topics}/>
    </div>
  </Router>
)

const Home = () => (
  <div>
    <h2>Home</h2>
  </div>
)

const About = () => (
  <div>
    <h2>About</h2>
  </div>
)

const Topics = ({ match }) => (
  <div>
    <h2>Topics</h2>
    <ul>
      <li>
        <Link to={`${match.url}/rendering`}>
          Rendering with React
        </Link>
      </li>
      <li>
        <Link to={`${match.url}/components`}>
          Components
        </Link>
      </li>
      <li>
        <Link to={`${match.url}/props-v-state`}>
          Props v. State
        </Link>
      </li>
    </ul>

    <Route path={`${match.url}/:topicId`} component={Topic}/>
    <Route exact path={match.url} render={() => (
      <h3>Please select a topic.</h3>
    )}/>
  </div>
)

const Topic = ({ match }) => (
  <div>
    <h3>{match.params.topicId}</h3>
  </div>
)

export default BasicExample

I think this is happen because of nested routes. Instead of using nested ones use

<BrowserRouter>
    <div>
        <Route exact path='/' component={Layout}></Route>
        <Route path='/about' name="about" component={About}></Route>
        <Route path="/about/:article" component={anotherAbout}></Route>
        <Route path='/protfolio' name="protfolio" component={Portfolio}></Route>
    </div>
</BrowserRouter >

and destructuring the matched params of url

const { article } = this.props.match.params

I think this works
