What TypeScript type should I use to reference the match object in my props?

You don't need to add it explicitly. You can use RouteComponentProps<P> from @types/react-router as a base interface of your props instead. P is type of your match params.

import { RouteComponentProps } from 'react-router';// example route<Route path="/products/:name" component={ProductContainer} />interface MatchParams {    name: string;}interface Props extends RouteComponentProps<MatchParams> {}

// from typingsimport * as H from "history";export interface RouteComponentProps<P> {  match: match<P>;  location: H.Location;  history: H.History;  staticContext?: any;}export interface match<P> {  params: P;  isExact: boolean;  path: string;  url: string;}

To add onto @Nazar554's answer above, the RouteComponentProps type should be imported from react-router-dom, and implemented as follows.

import {BrowserRouter as Router, Route, RouteComponentProps } from 'react-router-dom';interface MatchParams {    name: string;}interface MatchProps extends RouteComponentProps<MatchParams> {}

Further, to allow for re-usable components, the render() function allows you to pass only what the component needs, rather than the entire RouteComponentProps.

<Route path="/products/:name" render={( {match}: MatchProps) => (    <ProductContainer name={match.params.name} /> )} />// Now Product container takes a `string`, rather than a `MatchProps`// This allows us to use ProductContainer elsewhere, in a non-router setting!const ProductContainer = ( {name}: string ) => {     return (<h1>Product Container Named: {name}</h1>)}

Simple solution

import { RouteComponentProps } from "react-router-dom";const Container = ({ match }: RouteComponentProps<{ showId?: string}>) => { const { showId } = match.params?.showId;//in case you need to take params}
