LocationProvider type is missing url prop

[florianeckerstorfer]

I'm trying to test a component that uses useLocation with @testing-library/preact and I found no information in the docs on how to mock the location. After looking through the source code I figured out I can just provide the URL to the LocationProvider:

render(
  <LocationProvider url="/some/path">
    <My Component />
  </LocationProvider>
);

However, since url is missing from the Typescript type I get an TypeError in my code. Is there a reason why the prop is missing from the type or should it be added?

Not missing; it was hastily added and the prop doesn't fully work. It'll be removed entirely in the next version.

Instead, patch globalThis.location, it's far more robust and ensures better compatibility with components.

I need to publish a new version of iso, but for the meantime, you can just copy/paste this.

Thanks for the response, works like a charm.
