I am using the latest version of react router. When I am using routes in my component, They are not rendering anything but When I remove the routes and use simply the component they are working fine. Not able to understand what is going wrong
This do not work and is not rendering anything on "/" or http://localhost:3000/
import React from "react";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Navigate } from "react-router-dom";
import Users from "./user/pages/Users";
function App() {
return (
<Router>
<Route path="/" exact>
<Users />
</Route>
<Navigate to="/" />
</Router>
);
}
export default App;
This is rendering and working fine.
import React from "react";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Navigate } from "react-router-dom";
import Users from "./user/pages/Users";
function App() {
return <Users />;
}
export default App;
import React, {useState} from "react";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Routes, Route, Navigate } from "react-router-dom";
import Users from "./user/pages/Users";
import Profiles from "./Profiles" // this is dummy
function App() {
const [state, setState] = useState(false)
return (
<Router>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Users />}/>
<Route path="/profiles" element={state ? <Profiles /> : <Navigate to="/" />} />
{/* so you redirect only if your state is false */}
</Routes>
</Router>
);
}
export default App;
It is because, You din't provide which element to render in Route. It has to be mentioned like element={<Users />}. So try like below,
import React from "react";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Routes, Navigate } from "react-router-dom";
import Users from "./user/pages/Users";
function App() {
return (
<Router>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Users />} />
<Navigate to="/" />
</Routes>
</Router>
);
}
export default App;
Based on the docs, all Route components should be placed inside a Routes component, which is nested inside the BrowserRouter.
Also, I noticed you use Navigate everytime, even when you are already at the index path. I think this may cause a problem...
So, with that in mind, Change your code to
import React from "react";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";
import Users from "./user/pages/Users";
function App() {
return (
<Router>
<Routes>
<Route path="/">
<Route index element={<Users />} />
</Route>
</Routes>
</Router>
);
}
export default App;
Issue
In react-router-dom#6 the Route component renders its content on the element prop as a ReactNode, a.k.a. JSX, the only valid child of the Route component is another Route component for the case of nesting routes. The Users component should be moved to the element prop.
Also, to render a redirect to a default route, the Navigate component should also be rendered on a generic route.
Solution
Move Users component onto route's element prop.
Move the Navigate component into a generic route and pass the replace prop so issue a redirect.
Example:
function App() {
return (
<Router>
<Route path="/" element={<Users />} />
<Route path="*" element={<Navigate to="/" replace />} />
</Router>
);
}

Inside App.js:
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import './App.css';
import { BrowserRouter, Route, Routes } from 'react-router-dom';
import Dashboard from './components/Dashboard/Dashboard';
import Preferences from './components/Preferences/Preferences';
import Login from './components/Login/Login';
function App() {
const [token, setToken] = useState();
if(!token) {
return <Login setToken={setToken} />
}
return (
<div className="wrapper">
<h1>Application</h1>
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>
/*<Route path="/dashboard">*/
<Route path="/dashboard" element={<Dashboard/>} /></Route>
/*<Route path="/preferences">*/
<Route path="/preferences" element={<Preferences/>} /></Route>
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
</div>
);
}
export default App;`
Inside Dashboard.js (../src/components/Dashboard/Dashboard.js):
import React from 'react';
export default function Dashboard() {
return(
<h2>Dashboard</h2>
);
}
Url: http://localhost:3000/dashboard
I want to see the Dashboard content along with the App page content (Application and Dashboard headers) when I load the browser. But when I load the browser, it only displays the App page content and getting the same error:
"Matched leaf route at location "/dashboard" does not have an element. This means it will render an <Outlet /> with a null value by default resulting in an "empty" page."
You are using Routes instead of Router. Replace it on your line 3 and in the return().
Source: React-router https://v5.reactrouter.com/web/api/Route
//...
import { BrowserRouter, Route, Router } from 'react-router-dom';
//...
return ( ...
<Router>
/*<Route path="/dashboard">*/
<Route path="/dashboard" element={<Dashboard/>} />
/*<Route path="/preferences">*/
<Route path="/preferences" element={<Preferences/>} />
</Router>
...)
export default App;
Please specify which version of React router you are using, since a lot of the functionality has changed, is it 6.4 or is still 5 ?
Either way, please remove the comments of the routes, I don't think they help at all.
if you have chosen BrowserRouter from the 6.4 version then it should be used like this
import { BrowserRouter, Route } from 'react-router-dom';
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<Route path="/" element={<RootComp />} >
<Route path="dashboard" element={<Dashboard/>} />
<Route path="preferences" element={<Preferences/>} />
</Route>
</BrowserRouter>
)
export default App;
Where <RootComp /> should have an <Outlet /> as children
import { Outlet } from 'react-router-dom';
const RootComp = () => {
return <div><Outlet /></div>
}
export default RootComp;
Again, this is for the latest React Router component, however, I would advise using createBrowserRouter() rather than the old component-based trees, this way you can programatically create and manage the routes in an Object.
My route set up returns a blank page with no error, the only thing that's showing up is the side menu. I don't know what I'm doing wrong?
App.js:
import React from "react";
import Sidebar from "./components/Sidebar";
import i18n from './i18n';
import Dash from "./pages/Dash";
import Prof from "./pages/Prof";
import {BrowserRouter as Router, Routes, Route} from 'react-router-dom';
function App() {
return (
<Router>
<Sidebar/>
<Routes>
<Route path='/' exact component={Dash} />
<Route path='/profile' exact component={Prof} />
</Routes>
</Router>
);
}
export default App;
Dash.js:
import React from "react";
import Dashboard from ".././components/Dashboard";
export default function Dash() {
return (
<>
<Dashboard />
</>
);
}
Prof.js:
import React from "react";
import Dashboard from ".././components/Profile";
export default function Prof() {
return (
<>
<Profile />
</>
);
}
I assume you are using React Router Dom v6 since you are using Routes instead of Switch, in which case it should be element, not component, the propriety where you pass that component for that route. Also, call the component when passing it, like so:
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Routes } from "react-router-dom";
import Sidebar from "./components/Sidebar";
import Dash from "./pages/Dash";
import Prof from "./pages/Prof";
function App() {
return (
<Router>
<Sidebar />
<Routes>
<Route path="/" exact element={<Dash />} />
<Route path="/profile" exact element={<Prof />} />
</Routes>
</Router>
);
}
export default App;
⚠️: notice it's element={<Dash />} and not element={Dash}.
That's not how you use Routes object. You must use Routes > Route as a declaration. In order to go for what your trying which is to render a component based on url, you must use Outlets.
https://reactrouter.com/docs/en/v6/api#outlet
I have just started with React and not able to get the router working. Below is the code for router. If I use the individual components without the router, they are displayed on the screen. But with router I don't get any text on the screen across any of the paths.
Please let me know if I am missing something. Below is the code:
import { Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import AllMeetupsPage from './pages/AllMeetups';
import NewMeetupPage from './pages/NewMeetup';
function App() {
return (
<div>
<Route path='/' exact>
<AllMeetupsPage />
</Route>
<Route path='/new-meetup'>
<NewMeetupPage />
</Route>
</div>);
}
export default App;
A route needs to be a descendent of router component. I'm not sure which version of react-router you're using, but this will be a BrowserRouter and Routes component for react-router v6 and on v4/v5 it'll be a BrowserRouter
Here's some examples:
v6:
import {
BrowserRouter,
Routes,
Route
} from "react-router-dom";
import AllMeetupsPage from './pages/AllMeetups';
import NewMeetupPage from './pages/NewMeetup';
function App() {
return (
<div>
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" exact element={<AllMeetupsPage />}/>
<Route path="/new-meetup" element={<NewMeetupPage />}/>
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
</div>);
}
export default App;
You missed using Switch component
import { Route , Switch } from 'react-router-dom';
function App() {
return (
<div>
<Switch>
<Route path='/' exact>
<AllMeetupsPage />
</Route>
<Route path='/new-meetup'>
<NewMeetupPage />
</Route>
</Switch>
</div>);
}
export default App;
I have a problem with my react router when I want to pass from a router to another.
I have a Connexion files :
import React from "react";
import {
Switch,
BrowserRouter as Router,
Route,
Redirect,
} from "react-router-dom";
import SignIn from "./Containers/Login/Login";
import Player from "./Player";
const Routes = () => {
return (
<Router>
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={SignIn} />
<Route path="/app/player/" component={Player} />
<Route path="/*">
<Redirect to="/" />
</Route>
</Switch>
</Router>
);
};
export default Routes;
When I connect from "SignIn", I want to go in the next route "Player" :
import React from "react";
import {
Switch,
BrowserRouter as Router,
Route,
useRouteMatch,
} from "react-router-dom";
import Navigation from "./Navigation/PlayerNavigation";
import FillCollect from "./Containers/Collect/Collect";
import Dashboard from "./Containers/Dashboard/Dashboard";
const Player = () => {
const { path } = useRouteMatch();
console.log(path);
return (
<Router>
<Navigation />
<Switch>
<Route path={`${path}/collect/:id`} component={FillCollect} />
</Switch>
</Router>
);
};
export default Player;
(My Navigation component is my sidebar and topbar)
But when I'm connect my Navigation is displayed but not my Fill Collect ! And i have this warning :
Warning: Can't perform a React state update on a unmounted component. This is a no-op, but it indicates a memory leak in your application. To fix, cancel all subscriptions and asynchronous tasks in a useEffect clean function.
In SignIn (created by Context.Consumer)
I tried to display a minimalist component with just div but it's the same
There are a couple of problems in this
Firstly you are using a nested Router component too, which then restricts the inner Routes from listening to the router Router component
Secondly, your matchPath in parent is "/app/player/" which if you combine with the nested Route in child like ${path}/collect/:id. It becomes "/app/player//collect/:id" which is not what you indent
The working solution will be as follows
const Routes = () => {
return (
<Router>
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={SignIn} />
<Route path="/app/player" component={Player} />
<Route path="/*">
<Redirect to="/" />
</Route>
</Switch>
</Router>
);
};
export default Routes;
const Player = () => {
const { path } = useRouteMatch();
console.log(path);
return (
<React.Fragment>
<Navigation />
<Switch>
<Route path={`${path}/collect/:id`} component={FillCollect} />
</Switch>
</React.Fragment>
);
};
export default Player;
I'm having issues with my project, actually i'm trying to handle a 404 page when the user enters different url outside of the Routes in my App, but using my knowledge of React and react-router only needs to put the last route has no path and exact path wrapped by a Switch from react-router but not work well, the home page is rendering the Home and the NotFound components at same time.
I've tried to remove Container component inside the Router but that makes that all of the components after MenuBar disappears.
I've tried to put path='*' in the last Route having 2 components rendered in the same page.
A picture of what i'm talking about:
2 components at same time
My project have 3 principal files:
1.- Index.js :
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import * as serviceWorker from './serviceWorker';
import ApolloProvider from './ApolloProvider';
import 'semantic-ui-css/semantic.min.css';
import 'animate.css/animate.min.css';
import './App.css';
ReactDOM.render(ApolloProvider, document.getElementById('root'));
serviceWorker.unregister();
2.- ApolloProvider.js (using Apollo with GraphQL) :
import React from 'react';
import App from './App';
import ApolloClient from 'apollo-client';
import { InMemoryCache } from 'apollo-cache-inmemory';
import { createHttpLink } from 'apollo-link-http';
import { ApolloProvider } from '#apollo/react-hooks';
const httpLink = createHttpLink({
uri: 'http://localhost:5000/graphql'
});
const client = new ApolloClient({
link: httpLink,
cache: new InMemoryCache()
});
export default (
<ApolloProvider client={client}>
<App />
</ApolloProvider>
);
3.- And finally App.js :
import React from 'react';
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Switch } from 'react-router-dom';
import { Container } from 'semantic-ui-react';
import MenuBar from './Components/MenuBar';
import Home from './Pages/Home';
import Login from './Pages/Login';
import Register from './Pages/Register';
import NotFound from './Pages/404';
const App = props => (
<Router>
<Switch>
<Container>
<MenuBar />
<Route exact path='/' component={Home} />
<Route exact path='/login' component={Login} />
<Route exact path='/register' component={Register} />
<Route path='*' component={NotFound} />
</Container>
</Switch>
</Router>
);
export default App;
I only need to render Home component when the user visits '/' but it's weird how react-router is rendering two components at same time, please le me know if you find where i'm wrong or a solution for that, i'll being posting updates if i find a solution or whatever.
Thanks in advance mates!.
Thanks to #skyboyer and #Hugo Dozois the issue was fixed, this is the updated App.js for future references:
const App = props => (
<Router>
<Container>
<MenuBar />
<Switch>
<Route exact path='/' component={Home} />
<Route exact path='/login' component={Login} />
<Route exact path='/register' component={Register} />
<Route path='*' component={NotFound} />
</Switch>
</Container>
</Router>
);
Best Regards!
