Goal
I'm trying to extract the <Switch> with its <Route>'s out to a different module.
Problem
The url is being changed to the new path, but the content doesn't (only when I refresh it changes).
I'm trying to understand what am I missing.
EDITED:
live example: https://stackblitz.com/edit/separated-switch-module
working example:
<BrowserRouter>
<div>
<Link to="/"> Home </Link>
<Link to="contacts"> Contacts </Link>
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
<Route path="/contacts" component={Contacts} />
</Switch>
</div>
</BrowserRouter>
failing exmaple:
<BrowserRouter>
<div>
<Link to="/"> Home </Link>
<Link to="contacts"> Contacts </Link>
<SwitchedRoutes/>
</div>
</BrowserRouter>
EDITED:
SwitchedRoutes:
import React from "react";
import { observer, inject } from "mobx-react";
import { Switch, Route } from "react-router-dom";
#inject('pageStore')
#observer
export default class extends React.Component {
render(){
const {
home,
contacts
} = this.props.pageStore.pages;
return (
<Switch>
<Route exact path={home.path} render={()=> <Home />} />
<Route path={contacts.path} render={()=> <Contacts/>} />
</Switch>
)
}
}
Since react-router v4 changed an API a bit you need to give to the all underlying components such as Switch, Link and etc a router context. (Something like subscriber to the routing stuff), as soon as you disconnects the module to the separate file it loses the context.
just add this to the SwitchedRoutes.js
import React from 'react';
import { withRouter } from 'react-router'
import {Switch, Route} from 'react-router-dom';
import {inject, observer} from 'mobx-react';
const Home = () => <h1>Home</h1>;
const Contacts = () => <h1>Contents</h1>;
const switchedRouter = inject('store')(observer(props => {
const {home, contacts} = props.store.routes;
return(
<Switch>
<Route exact path={home.path} component={Home}/>
<Route path={contacts.path} component={Contacts}/>
</Switch>
);
}));
export default withRouter(switchedRouter)
we simply wrapped the component with withRouter HoC which provides us a correct react-router context.

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.
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 simple question. What is the best way to use a navbar with multiple components using react router? Just let me show the code so you can understand what I'm trying to say.
import React from "react";
import "./App.css";
import {
BrowserRouter as Router,
Switch,
Route,
Redirect
} from "react-router-dom";
import Auth from "./website/Auth/Auth";
import SocialMedia from "./website/SocialMedia/SocialMedia";
import SingleUser from "./website/SingleUser/SingleUser";
import Search from "./website/Search/Search";
import SinglePhoto from "./website/SinglePhoto/SinglePhoto";
import Navbar from "./components/Navbar/Navbar";
function App() {
const logIn = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("token"));
return (
<Router>
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={Auth}>
{logIn ? <Redirect to={`/profile/${logIn.data.id}`} /> : <Auth />}
</Route>
<Navbar>
<Route exact path="/profile/:id" component={SingleUser} />
<Route exact path="/socialmedia" component={SocialMedia} />
<Route exact path="socialmedia/search" component={Search} />
<Route exact path="socialmedia/photo/:id" component={SinglePhoto} />
</Navbar>
</Switch>
</Router>
);
}
export default App;
So I have to reuse my Navbar component, and I tried to use <Navbar />, then the other routes below, but that wasn't working, and when I put <Navbar> </Navbar> that worked and the other components will appear, but is that the way I reuse my Navbar component?
Thanks for your time !!
import React from "react";
import "./App.css";
import {
BrowserRouter as Router,
Switch,
Route,
Redirect
} from "react-router-dom";
import Auth from "./website/Auth/Auth";
import SocialMedia from "./website/SocialMedia/SocialMedia";
import SingleUser from "./website/SingleUser/SingleUser";
import Search from "./website/Search/Search";
import SinglePhoto from "./website/SinglePhoto/SinglePhoto";
import Navbar from "./components/Navbar/Navbar";
function App() {
const logIn = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("token"));
return (
<Router>
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={Auth}>
{logIn ? <Redirect to={`/profile/${logIn.data.id}`} /> : <Auth />}
</Route>
<Route Component={Navbar}>
<Route exact path="/profile/:id" component={SingleUser} />
<Route exact path="/socialmedia" component={SocialMedia} />
<Route exact path="socialmedia/search" component={Search} />
<Route exact path="socialmedia/photo/:id" component={SinglePhoto} />
</Route>
</Switch>
</Router>
);
}
export default App;
Try this!
If you want the Navbar to render only on certain routes then render it only on certain routes. Render the Navbar into a route outside the Switch and specify all the paths you want it to be rendered on in an array on the path prop.
Additional notes:
Within the Switch component, order and path specificity matter, reorder your routes to specify more specific paths before less specific paths. This allows you to not need to specify the exact prop for every route.
Don't specify both a component prop and render children on a single Route, see Route render methods. Just render the Redirect or Auth component as children.
Code:
function App() {
const logIn = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("token"));
return (
<Router>
<Route
path={["/profile", "/socialmedia"]}
component={Navbar}
/>
<Switch>
<Route path="/profile/:id" component={SingleUser} />
<Route path="socialmedia/photo/:id" component={SinglePhoto} />
<Route path="socialmedia/search" component={Search} />
<Route path="/socialmedia" component={SocialMedia} />
<Route path="/">
{logIn ? <Redirect to={`/profile/${logIn.data.id}`} /> : <Auth />}
</Route>
</Switch>
</Router>
);
}
Im trying to figure out how to get my navigation bar setup as most of the UI is coming together. I have setup my index.js and also a Route.js and then linked them with my different components like so:
Index.js
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { Auth0Provider } from "./react-auth0-spa.js";
import { useAuth0 } from "./react-auth0-spa";
import Routes from "./Routes"
import config from "./utils/auth_config.json";
import { BrowserRouter } from "react-router-dom";
// A function that routes the user to the right place
// after login
const onRedirectCallback = appState => {
history.push(
appState && appState.targetUrl
? appState.targetUrl
: window.location.pathname
);
};
ReactDOM.render(
<Auth0Provider
domain={config.domain}
client_id={config.clientId}
redirect_uri={window.location.origin}
onRedirectCallback={onRedirectCallback}
>
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes />
</BrowserRouter>
</Auth0Provider>,
document.getElementById("root")
);
Routes.js
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { Router, Route, Switch, BrowserRouter } from "react-router-dom";
import {Link } from "react-router-dom";
import Profile from "./components/user/Profile";
import PrivateRoute from "./components/user/PrivateRoute";
import history from "./utils/history.js";
import HomePage from "./modules/HomePage.js";
import ProductPage from "./modules/ProductPage";
class Routes extends Component {
render() {
return (
<Router history={history}>
<Switch>
<Route path="/" component={HomePage} />
<Route path="/ProductPage" component={ProductPage} />
<PrivateRoute path="/profile" component={Profile} />
</Switch>
</Router>
)
}
}
export default Routes;
but when i reload my site it just continues to say localhost:8080/ProductPage like its suppose to be the default, then when i manually enter localhost:8080/ and click on a button after linking it with
<Link to="ProductPage">
it will show on the tab localhost:8080/ProductPage but wont actually redirect me to the other component, i am just wondering what i am doing wrong?
Issue
You have your "home" route listed first in the Switch.
Switch
Renders the first child <Route> or <Redirect> that matches the location.
"/" is less specific and matches basically all routes, so even though the URL is "/ProductPage", "/" still matches it and HomePage is rendered.
Solution
Either move it after the other more specific routes or use the exact prop on it.
<Router history={history}>
<Switch>
<Route path="/ProductPage" component={ProductPage} />
<PrivateRoute path="/profile" component={Profile} />
<Route path="/" component={HomePage} />
</Switch>
</Router>
or
<Router history={history}>
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={HomePage} />
<Route path="/ProductPage" component={ProductPage} />
<PrivateRoute path="/profile" component={Profile} />
</Switch>
</Router>
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;
