I'm trying to create a route for my page, I used REACT + TAILWIND bootstrap with vite.So I tried creating a link in my navigation file that would route to other pages, but nothing is displaying. No error is displaying in my terminal but there is a lot of error in my browser console. I don't know what I am doing wrong. here is what my console says.
Navigation.jsx
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom'
import * as ROUTES from '../../constants/routes'
const Navigation = () => {
return (
<div>
<ul>
<li>
<Link to={ROUTES.SIGN_IN}>Sign In</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to={ROUTES.LANDING}>Landing</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link t0={ROUTES.HOME}>Home</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to={ROUTES.ACCOUNT}>Account</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to={ROUTES.ADMIN}>Admin</Link>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
)
}
export default Navigation
Main.jsx
import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import './index.css'
import App from './App'
import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom'
ReactDOM.render(

<App />
</BrowserRouter>,
document.getElementById('root')
)
App.jsx
import React, { useState } from 'react'
import { Router, Routes } from 'react-router-dom'
import Navigation from './components/Navigation/Navigation'
function App() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0)
return (
<Router>
<div className="App">

<Navigation/>
</Routes>
</div>
</Router>
)
}
export default App

I'm having troubles displaying the Home component. How can I get this to work?
console display Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'string')
at ./node_modules/react-icon/lib/index.js
I'm using
my versions are:
"react": "^18.1.0",
"react-dom": "^18.1.0",
"react-icon": "^1.0.0",
"react-icons": "^4.4.0",
"react-router-dom": "^6.3.0",
"react-scripts": "5.0.1",
And my codes are:
index.js
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import './index.css';
import App from './App';
import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom'
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(
<BrowserRouter>
<App />
</BrowserRouter>
);
My codes are:
Navbar.js
import React from 'react'
import './NavbarStyles.css'
import Logo from '../assets/logo.png'
import {Link} from 'react-router-dom'
import {FaBars,} from 'react-icon'
const Navbar = () => {
return (
<header>
<nav className='navbar'>
<div className='logo'>
<Link to='/'><img src={Logo} alt='' /></Link>
</div>
<ul className='nav-menu'>
<li className='nav-item'>
<Link to='/' className='nav-link'>Home</Link>
</li>
<li className='nav-item'>
<Link to='/' className='nav-link'>Services</Link>
</li>
<li className='nav-item'>
<Link to='/' className='nav-link'>Events</Link>
</li>
<li className='nav-item'>
<Link to='/' className='nav-link'>Contact</Link>
</li>
</ul>
<div className='hamburger'>
<FaBars />
</div>
</nav>
</header>
)
}
export default Navbar;
My codes are:
App.js
import React from 'react';
import {Routes, Route} from 'react-router-dom';
import Home from './components/Home';
function App() {
return (
<>
<Routes>
<Route path='/' element={<Home />} />
</Routes>
</>
);
}
export default App;
My codes are:
Home.js
import React from 'react'
import './HomeStyles.css'
import Navbar from './Navbar'
const Home = () => {
return (
<div>
<Navbar />
</div>
)
}
export default Home;
Issue
I think the issue is in the NavBar component. It is trying to import a named export from react-icon. react-icon doesn't export any specific icon components, instead it exports a single default export (i.e. import Icon from 'react-icon';) that uses props to specify which icon should be rendered. react-icon looks like an older/outdated package that fails to work with newer versions (React 15.5+) of React.
react-icon/src/index.js
const React = require('react');
const Icon = React.createClass({
displayName: 'Icon',
propTypes: {
glyph: React.PropTypes.string.isRequired, // <-- issue likely here
classPrefix: React.PropTypes.string,
children: React.PropTypes.node
},
statics: {
defaultFontPrefix: 'fa',
setDefaultFontPrefix(prefix) {
Icon.defaultFontPrefix = prefix;
}
},
render() {
const prefix = this.props.classPrefix || Icon.defaultFontPrefix;
let className = `${prefix} ${prefix}-${this.props.glyph}`;
if (this.props.className) {
className += ` ${this.props.className}`;
}
return (
<span {...this.props} className={className}>
{this.props.children}
</span>
);
}
});
module.exports = Icon;
React removed the PropTypes into its own package since React 15.5, so in the code above React.PropTypes is undefined and throws an error when trying to access the string property object.
Solution
Import the FaBars icon from react-icons instead of react-icon.
import React from 'react';
import './NavbarStyles.css';
import Logo from '../assets/logo.png';
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
import { FaBars } from 'react-icons'; // <-- import from `react-icons`
const Navbar = () => {
return (
<header>
<nav className='navbar'>
<div className='logo'>
<Link to='/'><img src={Logo} alt='' /></Link>
</div>
<ul className='nav-menu'>
<li className='nav-item'>
<Link to='/' className='nav-link'>Home</Link>
</li>
<li className='nav-item'>
<Link to='/' className='nav-link'>Services</Link>
</li>
<li className='nav-item'>
<Link to='/' className='nav-link'>Events</Link>
</li>
<li className='nav-item'>
<Link to='/' className='nav-link'>Contact</Link>
</li>
</ul>
<div className='hamburger'>
<FaBars />
</div>
</nav>
</header>
);
};
You'll probably want to also remove react-icon from your project since it's so outdated. As of today (13/06/2022) the repo hasn't had an update in 7 years! Uninstall it by running the following command from the project's root directory.
npm uninstall --save react-icon
import React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import './index.css';
import App from './App';
import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom'
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(
<BrowserRouter>
<App />
</BrowserRouter>
);
try like this
Header Component
import React from "react";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Link } from "react-router-dom";
import { ReactComponent as Logo } from "../../asset/crown.svg";
import "./header.scss";
const Header = () => {
return (
<div className='header'>
<Router>
<Link exact className='logo-container' to='/'>
<Logo className='logo' />
</Link>
<div className='options'>
<Link className='option' to='/shop'>
SHOP
</Link>
</div>
</Router>
</div>
);
};
export default Header;
This is my header Component in which I am using Link tag but these tags are changing the URL in the Search Bar but not actually rendering the components.
You don't need the Router inside the Header Component...You can just use Link and then in your App.js setup the Route to the Component. Like So..
App.Js
import React from "react";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Link } from "react-router-dom";
import { ReactComponent as Logo } from "../../asset/crown.svg";
import "./header.scss";
const Header = () => {
return (
<div className='header'>
<ul>
<li className='logo-container'>
<Link to='/'>
<Logo className='logo' />
</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/shop">
SHOP
</Link>
</li>
</div>
);
};
export default Header;
//APP COMPONENT
import React from "react";
import { BrowserRouter as Router,Switch, Route } from "react-router-dom";
const App = () => {
return (
<Router>
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component="Home">
<Route path="/shop" component="shop">
</Switch>
</Router>
);
};
export default App;
Make sure not to use BrowserRoute inside BrowserRouter.
e.g: when you place a component inside a component it's not JSX there it gets converted to HTML and can cause an error.
I've been working on my first React project and used react-router to navigate to different pages. Although I have reached the functionality, I have found that I have to manually refresh the page (using F5) whenever I press the link (for eg. About or Shop in the following code) to load the content.
Here's my Code
App.js
import React from "react";
import Nav from "./Nav";
import Shop from "./Shop";
import About from "./About";
import Home from "./Home";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Switch } from "react-router-dom";
import "../App.css";
function App() {
return (
<Router>
<div className="App">
<Nav />
<Switch>
<Route path="/" exact component={Home} />
<Route path="/about" component={About} />
<Route path="/shop" component={Shop} />
</Switch>
</div>
</Router>
);
}
export default App;
Nav.js
import React from "react";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Link } from "react-router-dom";
import "../App.css";
function Nav() {
return (
<nav>
<h3>Adifier</h3>
<ul className="nav-links">
<Router>
<Link to="/about">
<li>About</li>
</Link>
<Link to="/shop">
<li>Shop</li>
</Link>
</Router>
</ul>
</nav>
);
}
export default Nav;
About.js
import React from "react";
function About() {
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>About Page</h1>
</div>
);
}
export default About;
Shop.js
import React from "react";
function Shop() {
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>Shop Page</h1>
</div>
);
}
export default Shop;
Thanks in advance
Remove Router from Nav.js. It has already served its purpose when you defined routes in app.js
<ul className="nav-links">
<Link to="/about">
<li>About</li>
</Link>
<Link to="/shop">
<li>Shop</li>
</Link>
</ul>
Hi im new to react and the routers. The problem is when I click on a link the URL at the top changes so I can tell that something is happening. But the page does not refresh automatically and so the new components arent rendered hen I click on it. If I manually refresh the page in chrome it will then render the correct components for the link. Not sure why this is happening.
Also I'm not sure if this has any affect on it but I do have a back end node js server and MongoDB data base this isn't just a front end react page. Im not sure if that has any affect? the functions of the nodejs server and Mongodb work it just doesn't refresh. Im not sure if that is relevant.

Here it shows login in the URL but is still rendering notes when I refresh the page it will show notes
You don't need to use browserrouter in the navlink, only use in router and also put the BrowserRouter before the switch
Like this:-
import React , {useState} from 'react';
import logo from './logo.svg';
import './App.css';
import axios from 'axios';
import bootstrap from '../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
import Register from './Components/Register';
import Login from './Components/Login';
import Notes from './Components/Notes' ;
import Navbar from './Components/Navbar';
import { BrowserRouter, Switch, Route, Link, Redirect } from "react-router-dom";
function App() {
const[getDefault, setDefault] = useState('');
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>react app</h1>
<Navbar/>
<div className="App">
<BrowserRouter>
<Switch>
<Route path='/app/' component={Register} exact />
<Route path='/app/login/' component={Login} exact/>
<Route path='/app/notes/' component={Notes} exact/>
</Switch>
</BrowserRouter>
</div>
</div>
);
}
export default App;
Remove BrowserRouter in your navbar component. I think that should work, normally we have to use BrowserRouter once.
BrowserRouter should wrap all route things, that means that you should put the links within the Browser Router
import React , {useState} from 'react';
import logo from './logo.svg';
import './App.css';
import axios from 'axios';
import bootstrap from '../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
import Register from './Components/Register';
import Login from './Components/Login';
import Notes from './Components/Notes' ;
import Navbar from './Components/Navbar';
import { BrowserRouter, Switch, Route, Link, Redirect } from "react-router-dom";
function App() {
const[getDefault, setDefault] = useState('');
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>react app</h1>
<BrowserRouter>
<Navbar/>
<div className="App">
<Switch>
<Route path='/app/' component={Register} exact />
<Route path='/app/login/' component={Login} exact/>
<Route path='/app/notes/' component={Notes} exact/>
</Switch>
</div>
</BrowserRouter>
</div>
);
}
export default App;
import React, {useState} from 'react';
import './Navbar.css';
import {Link, Redirect, Router, Switch} from 'react-router-dom';
function Navbar() {
return (
<div>
<p style={{color: 'white', fontWeight:'500', fontSize:'50px'}}> Simple Planner </p>
<div className ='navbarOptions' style={{backgroundColor:'black'}}>
<ul>
<Link to='/app/' exact style={{ fontSize:'30px', color: '#48c6ef', fontWeight: '700'}}>Register</Link>
<Link to='/app/login/' exact style={{fontSize:'30px', color: '#48c6ef', fontWeight:'700'}}>Login</Link>
<Link to='/app/notes/' exact style={{fontSize:'30px', color: '#48c6ef' , fontWeight:'700'}}>Notes</Link>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
);
}
export default Navbar ;
I'm learning React router, tried to build a pretty basic application like this Home.js:
import React from 'react';
import About from '../pages/About';
import { HashRouter as Router, Switch, Route, Link } from "react-router-dom";
const Navbar = () => {
return (
<Router>
<div>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>
<Link to="/">HOME</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/about-us">ABOUT US</Link>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
<Switch>
<Route path="/about-us">
<About />
</Route>
<Route path="/">
<Home />
</Route>
</Switch>
</div>
</Router>
)
}
const Home = () => {
return (
<>
<Navbar />
</>
)
}
export default Home;
Then in index.js render Home page:
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './index.css';
import Home from './pages/Home';
import * as serviceWorker from './serviceWorker';
ReactDOM.render(
<React.StrictMode>
<Home />
</React.StrictMode>,
document.getElementById('root')
);
serviceWorker.unregister();
Problem is, Home wouldn't render in localhost:3000, terminal showed Compiled successfully! but when loading localhost:3000, it just spins forever with nothing rendered. However, if I remove the element it rendered. Folder structure set like this:
src
--pages
----About.js
----Home.js
index.js
Can anyone help?
You've created yourself an infinite loop from what it looks like. Your index.js returns your Home component, which then returns the Navbar, which has a router, which then returns the Home component, which then repeats that cycle over and over again.
This is the approach I would take, which will show the Navbar on both the about and home page, and will only show one of the pages at a time based on the current route.
// Navbar.js
const Navbar = () => {
return (
<nav>
<ul>
<li>
<Link to="/">HOME</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/about-us">ABOUT US</Link>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
)
}
export default Navbar;
// Layout.js
import React from 'react';
import Navbar from './Navbar';
import About from '../pages/About';
import Home from '../pages/Home';
import { HashRouter as Router, Switch, Route, Link } from "react-router-dom";
const Layout = () => {
return (
<Router>
<Navbar />
<Switch>
<Route path="/about-us">
<About />
</Route>
<Route path="/">
<Home />
</Route>
</Switch>
</Router>
)
}
export default Layout;
// index.js
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './index.css';
import Layout from './components/Layout';
import * as serviceWorker from './serviceWorker';
ReactDOM.render(
<React.StrictMode>
<Layout />
</React.StrictMode>,
document.getElementById('root')
);
serviceWorker.unregister();
