onclick of sidebar item issue in react

i am trying to create a simple react project. it has a navbar, sidebar and the main content area.
first a home component is displayed.
home.js
import { useState } from "react";
import Navbar from "../navbar/navbar";
import Sidebar from "../sidebar/sidebar";
import "./style.css";
import { useSelector, useDispatch } from 'react-redux'
function Home() {
const sidebarOpen = useSelector((state) => state.sidebarOpenState);
return (
<>
<Navbar />
<div className="home-box d-flex">
{sidebarOpen && <div className="p-2 flex-fill"><Sidebar /></div>}
</div>
</>
);
}
export default Home;
my navbar has a button which will change state sidebarOpen.
my sidebar looks like this->
sidebar.js
import "./style.css";
import { Link } from "react-router-dom";
function Sidebar() {
return (
<div className="divSidebar">
<ul>
<li>
<Link to="/chess">
<img className="sidebar-img" src="images/sidebar/chess.png"></img>
<span className="sidebar-text">Chess</span>
</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/volleyball">
<img
className="sidebar-img"
src="images/sidebar/volleyball.png"
></img>
<span className="sidebar-text">Volleyball</span>
</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/football">
<img
className="sidebar-img"
src="images/sidebar/football.png"
></img>
<span className="sidebar-text">Football</span>
</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/tabletennis">
<img
className="sidebar-img"
src="images/sidebar/table-tennis.png"
></img>
<span className="sidebar-text">TableTennis</span>
</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/rugby">
<img className="sidebar-img" src="images/sidebar/rugby.png"></img>
<span className="sidebar-text">Rugby</span>
</Link>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
);
}
export default Sidebar;
when i click on chess, the respective component should be loaded.
chess.js
function Chess() {
return (
<>
<h1>chess</h1>
</>
);
}
export default Chess;
but the problem is my sidebar disappears. i only want the main content area to be changed nothing else. can someone help? let me know if u want to some more code.
---------edit
i have added console.log in two places. one is in the navbar where the toggle method is defined and another is in redux store where toggle state is defined. both the places onclick is working. i am able to see message but the sidebar is not getting rendered.
---------edit 2
App.js
import "./App.css";
import Navbar from "./components/navbar/navbar";
import { Route, Routes } from "react-router-dom";
import Chess from "./components/chess/chess";
import Volleyball from "./components/volleyball/volleyball";
import Football from "./components/football/football";
import TableTennis from "./components/tabletennis/tabletennis";
import Rugby from "./components/rugby/rugby";
import Home from "./components/home/home";
function App() {
return (
<div className="App">
<Routes>
<Route exact path="/" element={<Home />} />
<Route
path="/chess"
element={
<>
<Navbar />
<Chess />
</>
}
/>
<Route
path="/volleyball"
element={
<>
<Navbar />
<Volleyball />
</>
}
/>
<Route
path="/tabletennis"
element={
<>
<Navbar />
<TableTennis />
</>
}
/>
<Route
path="/football"
element={
<>
<Navbar />
<Football />
</>
}
/>
<Route
path="/rugby"
element={
<>
<Navbar />
<Rugby />
</>
}
/>
</Routes>
</div>
);
}
export default App;

When you click on Chess you navigate to "/chess"
So if u can't see your Navbar there, is because you have to render it there too.
Or, render the Navbar outside de Routes from BrowsterRouter.
We need to see the components rendering on "/chess" and the react-router-dom config on app.js (or on the top lvl you declare it)
----- edit ------
Ok, look this:
function App() {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<NavBar />
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
<Route path="/test" element={<Test />} />
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
);
}
If you refactor your brower like this is gona be more clean to understand the code and even easy to escale.
As u see, the navBar is outside the Routes, so its gona be visible in all routes.
then you can have this:
-> one path -> one element
your Links on navbar (or sidebar or whatelse) are gona work good.

i found a way. i rendered <Sidebar /> again in all my child components.
like this->
chess.js
function Chess() {
const sidebarOpen = useSelector((state) => state.sidebarOpenState);
return (
{sidebarOpen && (
<div className="p-2 flex-fill">
<Sidebar />
</div>
)}
)
}
this way when i click on button the state is updated and sidebar is rendered automatically.

React routing to endpoint but not rendering content

I can route to another endpoint, but the component content only appears on manual refresh.
I've seen this question asked here, here, and I've been checking out the reactrouter docs, amongst others. The solution always seems to be "add withRouter" or "make sure you're wrapping it in Router. I've done those things, but sadly got no where.
Here's the code:
App.js
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Switch } from "react-router-dom";
function App() {
return (
<Router>
<Provider store={store}>
<div className="App">
<NavBar />
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
<Route path="/account" component={Account} />
</Switch>
</div>
</Provider>
</Router>
);
}
NavBar.js
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Link } from "react-router-dom";
import { withRouter } from "react-router";
function NavBar() {
return (
<Router>
<div className="navbar">
<h3>Connectory</h3>
<div className="buttons-container">
<Link>
<button>Settings</button>
</Link>
<Link to="/account"> // successfully redirects to /account, but doesn't render Account page content until refresh
<button>Account</button>
</Link>
</div>
</div>
</Router>
);
}
export default withRouter(NavBar);
EDIT: After comment suggestions, here's a code sandbox link and here;s the Account.js page:
import React from "react";
export default function Account() {
return (
<div>
<h3>This is the Account page</h3>
</div>
);
}

The Problem here is that, in your Navbar.js, you are re-setting your Routes again when they are already set in App.js.
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
<Route path="/account" component={Account} /> // Route for Applicatin set here
</Switch>
You do not need to do that again in. Check here.
https://codesandbox.io/s/gracious-germain-7fyry?file=/src/Navbar.js
Your Nabar should look like:
function NavBar() {
return (
<div className="navbar">
<h3>Connectory</h3>
<div className="buttons-container">
<Link to="/">
<button>Settings</button>
</Link>
<Link to="/account">
<button>Account</button>
</Link>
</div>
</div>
);
}

Hi i found a bug in your code and that's the reason because is not working.
in this component you are injecting the Router to the rest of the app.
function App() {
return (
<Router>
<div className="App">
<NavBar />
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
<Route path="/account" component={Account} />
</Switch>
</div>
</Router>
);
}
in this one you are injecting again the Router. That's why is not working you just have to remove the Router from de Navbar and it will work properly.
function NavBar() {
return (
<Router>
<div className="navbar">
<h3>Connectory</h3>
<div className="buttons-container">
<Link>
<button>Settings</button>
</Link>
<Link to="/account">
<button>Account</button>
</Link>
</div>
</div>
</Router>
);
}
like this
function NavBar() {
return (
<div className="navbar">
<h3>Connectory</h3>
<div className="buttons-container">
<Link>
<button>Settings</button>
</Link>
<Link to="/account">
<button>Account</button>
</Link>
</div>
</div>
);
}

React Router is leaving my main page loaded when trying to load other pages

I have a MainPage that is loaded in App.js but when I use Browser Router and Route it will keep the MainPage and loads the second page over the top of it. Any tips would be helpful.
class App extends Component {
render() {
return(
<BrowserRouter>
<div className="App">
<Mainpage></Mainpage>
</div>
</BrowserRouter>
);
}
}
export default App;
The other thing that is weird is that it is loading the background of the page and styling that it is routing to when the button is not even pushed.
This is the main page.
class Mainpage extends Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
<header>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>
<Link exact to="/meettheteam">
This is a new Page
</Link>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
<h1>
THE
<br />
BARBER
<br />
SHOP
</h1>
<p>
<img src={logo} alt="logo" />
<img src={facebookLogo} alt="logoFacebook" />
<img src={twitterLogo} alt="logoTwitter" />
#TheBarberShop
</p>
<ul>
<div className="schedule">
<li>SCHEDULE</li>
</div>
<div className="styles">
<li>STYLES</li>
</div>
<div className="meettheteam">
<li>MEET THE TEAM</li>
</div>
</ul>
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/meettheteam" component={MeetTheTeam} />
</Switch>
{/* <Route path="/stylesandprices" component={StylesAndPrices}/> */}
</div>
);
}
}
export default Mainpage;

Assuming you want the navigation portion of your main page to always render (to obviously allow navigation) then I have the following suggestions:
Move the header/nav to App component and render at the top of the router.
Move the Switch also to App and render your Mainpage and other page components in their own respective Route components, in decreasing specificity, i.e. "/pathA/b" listed before "/pathA".
Since the Switch matches and returns the first matching Route or Redirect, render the Mainpage route last as a default "home page".
If you want link highlighting (i.e. noticed the exact prop on the Link) then use NavLink as the Link component doesn't take this prop. Though, the exact prop here really only matters if you have nested routes that you don't want the link to appear active for
Changes
App
class App extends Component {
render() {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<div className="App">
<header>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>
<Link to="/meettheteam">
This is a new Page
</Link>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
<Switch>
<Route path="/meettheteam" component={MeetTheTeam} />
<Route path="/stylesandprices" component={StylesAndPrices} />
{/* other routes listing in decreasing specificity */}
<Route component={Mainpage} />
</Switch>
</div>
</BrowserRouter>
);
}
}
Mainpage
class Mainpage extends Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
<h1>

<br />

<br />
SHOP
</h1>
<p>
<img src={logo} alt="logo" />
<img src={facebookLogo} alt="logoFacebook" />

<ul>
<div className="schedule">
<li>SCHEDULE</li>

<div className="styles">

}

Routes should be wrapped inside of a <Switch> component of react-router-dom
Right usage:
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Switch, Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import ComponentA from './componenta'
import ComponentB from './componentb'
function App() {
return (
<Router>
<Switch>
<Route path="/">
<ComponentA />
</Route>
<Route path="/componentb">
<ComponentB />
</Route>
</Switch>
</Router>
);
}
export default App
This example below would render first route and second route on top of each other, This is the similar way on how the code snippets of the question was structured. The first route was wrap with Switch while the second route was outside of Switch
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Switch, Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import ComponentA from './componenta'
import ComponentB from './componentb'
function App() {
return (
<Router>
<Switch>
<Route path="/">
<ComponentA />
</Route>
</Switch>
<Route path="/">
<ComponentB />
</Route>
</Router>
);
}
export default App;
Tips/Suggestion:
The best thing to do is to wrap all the Route's with Switch statement at the top level of the app hierarchy

How to properly route pages on ReactJS with React Router Dom

I try to route my pages.. but when I copy some URL link from the page and want to show to other people.. They see 404 Page's not found..
I use this simple code of React:
import React from "react";
import {
BrowserRouter as Router,
Switch,
Route,
Link
} from "react-router-dom";
export default function App() {
return (
<Router>
<div>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>
<Link to="/">Home</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/about">About</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/users">Users</Link>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
{/* A <Switch> looks through its children <Route>s and
renders the first one that matches the current URL. */}
<Switch>
<Route path="/about">
<About />
</Route>
<Route path="/users">
<Users />
</Route>
<Route path="/">
<Home />
</Route>
</Switch>
</div>
</Router>
);
}
function Home() {
return <h2>Home</h2>;
}
function About() {
return <h2>About</h2>;
}
function Users() {
return <h2>Users</h2>;
}
I have more pages.. but when I copy/paste a URL address without some pages is show.
How can I fix that ?

this depends on the router version used. example for version 4.
i create codepen https://codepen.io/romanown/pen/ZEQjrXm and its worked. changed to working on codepen when i go to menu labels. but going by web address not worked on codepen. for it need real local or network server or hosting.
those who put a minus at least write for what.
html
<div id="app"></div>
js
const {
BrowserRouter,
Switch,
Route,
Link
} = ReactRouterDOM
function Home() {
return <h2>Home</h2>;
}
function About() {
return <h2>About</h2>;
}
function Users() {
return <h2>Users</h2>;
}
const App = () => (
<BrowserRouter>
<div>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>
<Link to="/">Home</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/about">About</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/users">Users</Link>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
<Switch>
<Route path="/about">
<About />
</Route>
<Route path="/users">
<Users />
</Route>
<Route path="/">
<Home />
</Route>
</Switch>
</div>
</BrowserRouter>
)
ReactDOM.render((
<App />
), document.getElementById('root'))

conditional rendering react router dom

I am making an advertising website with reusable components that load with different graphics depending on what page it is. I am using react-router-dom Route exact path. I imagine i need to be able to read the state of that with my useEffect,[]. So how do i pass down the state so its able to be read by the component.
Please note that the component Hero appears in the functions for Home, Consultants and Solutions
const Hero = props => {
useEffect(() => {
console.log(props);
}, []);
return (
<Fragment>
<div className='grid-hero'>
<Fragment>
<div className='overlay'>
<div>
<p className='bg-dark'></p>
<img src={{ homeimg } || { consimg } || { solsimg }} alt='' />
</div>
</div>
</Fragment>
<Router>
<Fragment>
<Navbar />
<Switch>
<Route exact path='/' component={Home} />
<Route exact path='/consultants' component={Consultants} />
<Route exact path='/solutions' component={Solutions} />
<Route exact path='/contactus' component={ContactUs} />"
</Switch>
</Fragment>
</Router>
<div
className={
{pathname === "/" && ("grid-home")}
{pathname === "/consultants" && ("grid-consultants")}
{pathname === "/solutions" && ("grid-solutions")}
}>

maybe this is what you're looking for:
I've added Hero as top-level image component where your image would switch. I don't have the images, so I used strings, but if you import images like JSX, you'll be able to use this code by removing the img strings inside my Hero dummy component.
adding reference image import syntax for help:
import img from './img.png';
complete example:
import React, { Fragment } from "react";
import {
BrowserRouter as Router,

} from "react-router-dom";
