If you aren't getting the this.props... you were expecting based on the other answers, you may need to use withRouter (docs v4):

import React from 'react'
import PropTypes from 'prop-types'
import { withRouter } from 'react-router'

// A simple component that shows the pathname of the current location
class ShowTheLocation extends React.Component {
  static propTypes = {
    match: PropTypes.object.isRequired,
    location: PropTypes.object.isRequired,
    history: PropTypes.object.isRequired
  }

  render() {
    const { match, location, history } = this.props

    return (
      
You are now at {location.pathname}
    )
  }
}

// Create a new component that is "connected" (to borrow redux terminology) to the router.  
const TwitterSsoButton = withRouter(ShowTheLocation)  

// This gets around shouldComponentUpdate
withRouter(connect(...)(MyComponent))

// This does not
connect(...)(withRouter(MyComponent))
