Feature: determine current page

[josefguenther]

It would be nice to have a function like useLocation that would be able to identify the current page. Right now I have to use window.location.pathname and do some processing on it. Or is there something I'm missing?

One benefit of providing this functionality directly from generouted is built in type safety when using Typescript.

You can use the already available useLocation hook from the routing package like react-router, @solidjs/router, etc.

I haven't encountered the need to have a type-safe useLocation hook. Actually, it might be even sometimes misleading, as the location.pathname value is external (browser URL) - and will not strictly align with the expected types for the pathname.
