Nothing shows up using react-router

I am new to React, and I cannot get my routes to work. I am following the tutorial in the documentation but somehow it does not work. The content inside the App component does not show up so I assume there is some kind of problem with BrowserRouter or Routes or my nesting but I really cannot figure out what's going on.
index.js
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";
import App from './App';
import Products from './routes/products';
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(
<React.StrictMode>
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<App />}>
<Route path="products" element={<Products />} />
</Route>
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
</React.StrictMode>
);
routes/app.js
import { Outlet, Link } from "react-router-dom";
export default function App() {
return (
<div>
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<nav>
<Link to="/products">Products</Link>
</nav>
<Outlet />
</div>
);
}
routes/products.jsx
export default function Products(){
return (
<div>
<h1>Products</h1>
</div>
);
}
P.S. I already saw some stackoverflow answers but still I could not see what I am getting wrong.
EDIT:
Thank you for the attention and support but after rewriting the code and playing around with it I found out that my App component does not render when I add the Link to="" component. Any Idea why this is happening?

Try this router structure:
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>
<Route index element={<App />}/>
<Route path="products" element={<Products/>}/>
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>

I have made only one change to your code, i.e. I use a wildcard to redirect the user to App for each route that does not match the other routes (i.e. each route that does not match /products). You can add a wildcard with * like this: <Route path="*" element={<App />} />
index.tsx
import { StrictMode } from "react";
import * as ReactDOMClient from "react-dom/client";
import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";
import { Products } from "./Products";
import App from "./App";
const rootElement = document.getElementById("root");
const root = ReactDOMClient.createRoot(rootElement);
root.render(
<StrictMode>
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>
<Route path="*" element={<App />} />
<Route path="products" element={<Products />} />
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
</StrictMode>
);
App.tsx
import "./styles.css";
import { Link } from "react-router-dom";
export default function App() {
return (
<>
<Link to="/home">HOME</Link>
<Link to="/products">PRODUCTS</Link>
<div>HOME PAGE HERE</div>
</>
);
}
Products.tsx
import { Link } from "react-router-dom";
export const Products = () => {
return (
<>
<Link to="/home">HOME</Link>
<Link to="/products">PRODUCTS</Link>
<div>PRODUCTS PAGE HERE</div>
</>
);
};

I am here answering my own question. After 2 days of madness I found out that I had two package.json files, so I just reinstalled locally react-router and eventually it worked. I came to this conclusion thanks to another answer here on StackOverflow.

Function component on the same page in not picking in route (react-router-dom v6) of react project

I have created a route in my react project using the methods of react-router-dom version 6.2.1.
But when I tried to fetch one route of a functional component written on the same implementation component it is not working.
App.js
import React from 'react';
import './App.css';
import {Routes ,Route} from 'react-router-dom';
import HomePage from './pages/homepage/homepage.component';
const CarsPage= () => {
<div>
<h1>CARS PAGE</h1>
</div>
}
function App() {
return (
<div>
<Routes >
<Route exact path='/' element={<HomePage />} />
<Route exact path='/cars' element={<CarsPage/>} /> // This route is not working.
</Routes>
</div>
);
}
export default App;
Issue
The hats route is not picking up.

Your forgot the return statement in CarsPage
Change it to:
const CarsPage= () => {
return (
<div>
<h1>CARS PAGE</h1>
</div>
)
}

You need to wrap the components in BrowserRouter.
See everything works here: https://codesandbox.io/s/festive-leavitt-7tr1d?file=/src/App.js

Looking at the above implementation, the CarsPage component does not return anything. Refactor it to return your JSX like so.
const CarsPage = () => (
<div>
<h1>CARS PAGE</h1>
</div>
);
Also, import BrowserRouter from "react-router-dom" and wrap the "react-router-dom" component <Routes /> with BrowserRouter as seen in the docs like so
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";
...
function App() {
return (
<div>
<Router>
<Routes>
<Route exact path="/" element={<HomePage />} />
<Route exact path="/cars" element={<CarsPage />} />
</Routes>
</Router>
</div>
);
}

Error "Error: A <Route> is only ever to be used as the child of <Routes> element"

I am trying to use routing for the first time and followed the exact instructions from Udemy:
File App.js:
import { Route } from "react-router-dom";
import Welcome from "./Pages/Welcome";
import Game from "./Pages/Game";
import Leaderboard from "./Pages/Leaderboard";
function App() {
return (
<div>
<Route path = "/welcome">
<Welcome />
</Route>
<Route path = "/game">
<Game />
</Route>
<Route path = "/leaderboard">
<Leaderboard />
</Route>
</div>
);
}
export default App;
File index.js
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
import App from "./App";
ReactDOM.render(
<BrowserRouter>
<App />
</BrowserRouter>,
document.getElementById('root')
);
I get the following error:
Error: A Route is only ever to be used as the child of
element, never rendered directly. Please wrap your Route in a Routes.
Where have I gone wrong?

Yes, in react-router-dom version 6 it is a bit different. Please look as the sample below.
React Router tutorial
import { render } from "react-dom";
import {
BrowserRouter,
Routes,
Route
} from "react-router-dom";
import App from "./App";
import Expenses from "./routes/expenses";
import Invoices from "./routes/invoices";
const rootElement = document.getElementById("root");
render(
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<App />} />
<Route path="expenses" element={<Expenses />} />
<Route path="invoices" element={<Invoices />} />
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>,
rootElement
);

There was a fairly decent change between versions 5 and 6 of react-router-dom. It appears that the Udemy course/tutorial is using version 5 where all you needed was a Router to provide a routing context and Route components just needed to be rendered within this context. In version 6, however, the Route components now need to be rendered within a Routes component (which is an upgrade from the v5 Switch component).
Introducing Routes
One of the most exciting changes in v6 is the powerful new <Routes>
element. This is a pretty significant upgrade from v5's <Switch>
element with some important new features including relative routing
and linking, automatic route ranking, and nested routes and layouts.
The error message is pretty clear, wrap your Route components in a Routes component. The routes also don't take children (other than other Route components in the case of nested routes), they render the components as JSX on the new element prop.
function App() {
return (
<div>
<Routes>
<Route path="/welcome" element={<Welcome />} />
<Route path="/game" element={<Game />} />
<Route path="/leaderboard" element={<Leaderboard />} />
</Routes>
</div>
);
}

The problem is your react-router-dom version.
Probably it's 5.1 or higher.
You can try (in terminal):
npm install react-router-dom#5.3.0
And then your code will be OK. Or you better rebuild your code according to new react-router-dom.

import React from 'react'
import {BrowserRouter, Route, Routes } from 'react-router-dom'
import './App.css';
import Navbar from './components/Navbar';
import { Home } from './components/screens/Home';
import { Login } from './components/screens/Login';
import { Profile } from './components/screens/Profile';
import { Signup } from './components/screens/Signup';
function App() {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<Navbar />
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
<Route path="/login" element={<Login />} />
<Route path="/signup" element={<Signup />} />
<Route path="/profile" element={<Profile />} />\
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
);
}
export default App;

In the latest version of React, 'Switch' is replaced with 'Routes' and 'component' is replaced with 'element'
Enter image description here

Try to wrap your routes by Routes:
import { Route, Routes } from "react-router-dom";
import Welcome from "./Pages/Welcome";
import Game from "./Pages/Game";
import Leaderboard from "./Pages/Leaderboard";
function App() {
return (
<div>
<Routes>
<Route path = "/welcome">
<Welcome />
</Route>
<Route path = "/game">
<Game />
</Route>
<Route path = "/leaderboard">
<Leaderboard />
</Route>
</Routes>
</div>
);
}
export default App;

I think there are many problems that can lead to that issue.
react-router-dom version 6 no longer supports the use of components directly. Use an element to specify the component you route.
Route has to be a child of Routes
Use the simple snippet.
import logo from './logo.svg';
import './App.css';
import Navbar from './components/Navbar';
import {BrowserRouter, Routes, Route, Link} from 'react-router-dom';
import Homescreen from './screens/Homescreen';
function App() {
return (
<div className="App">
<Navbar/>
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>
<Route path='/home' element={<Homescreen/>} />
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
</div>
);
}
export default App;

The problem right here is that you are using React v5. Since React v6, several changes were included in Router.
So now, to make it work, and as your error message says, you need to wrap your Route element inside a Routes element (Routes now is the equivalent, but an improved version of Switch element). Also, you need to add an "element" prop that accepts JSX instead of wrapping inside the Route element.
So, to make it work, you need to import all these elements like this:
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Routes, Route } from 'react-router-dom';
That being said, your code should look like this:
<Router>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Welcome/>}>
</Route>
<Route path="/" element={<Game />}>
</Route>
<Route path="/" element={<Leaderboard />}>
</Route>
</Routes>
</Router>

It's probably because you are using version 6 or higher of react-router-dom.
Try:npm i react-router-dom#5.2.0
And it should work.

In the newer version of react-router-dom, we need to nest the Route inside the Routes. Also, component and exact have been removed in newer version.

I was facing same issue and solve it.
Though I am using
react-router-dom#6
So I had to modify app.js and index.js like below
in index.js
import { BrowserRouter } from "react-router-dom";
<React.StrictMode>
<BrowserRouter>
<App />
</BrowserRouter>
</React.StrictMode>
and app.js
import { Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";
function App() {
return (
<>
<Header />
<main className="py-3">
<Container>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<HomeScreen />} exact/>
</Routes>
</Container>
</main>
<Footer />
</>
);
}
export default App;
according to official documentation

Now, React uses React Router version 6
For React Router version 6, your index.js file is correct:
File index.js:
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
import App from "./App";
ReactDOM.render(
<BrowserRouter>
<App />
</BrowserRouter>,
document.getElementById('root')
);
But your App.js file is not correct for React Router version 6, so this is the correct one below:
I changed three parts as shown below:
File App.js
// 1. "Routes" is imported
import { Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";
import Welcome from "./Pages/Welcome";
import Game from "./Pages/Game";
import Leaderboard from "./Pages/Leaderboard";
function App() {
return (
<div> // 2. With "<Routes></Routes>", surround "3 <Route /> tags"
<Routes> // 3. Put an element with a component to each "<Route />"
<Route path = "/welcome" element={<Welcome />} />
<Route path = "/game" element={<Game />} />
<Route path = "/leaderboard" element={<Leaderboard />} />
</Routes>
</div>
);
}
export default App;

Use the element option to set your component instead of nesting it into the route tags. Then wrap all the routes with <Routes></Routes>.
Do not forget to add Routes to your imports
import { Route, Routes } from "react-router-dom";
import Welcome from "./Pages/Welcome";
import Game from "./Pages/Game";
import Leaderboard from "./Pages/Leaderboard";
function App() {
return (
<div>
<Routes>
<Route path = "/welcome" element={<Welcome />}/>
<Route path = "/game" element={<Game />}/>
<Route path = "/leaderboard" element={<Leaderboard />}/>
</Routes>
</div>
);
}
export default App;

Use:
<div>
<Header />
</div>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
<Route path="/profile" element={<Profile />} />
<Route path="/about" element={<About />} />
</Routes>

I know I'm late but there is another way to do nested routes straight from javascript.
first import
import { useRoutes } from "react-router-dom";
secondly, declare your routes. Here is a quick example
function App() {
return useRoutes([
{
path: "/",
element: <Example/>
},
{
path: "/contact",
element: <Example/>
}]);
}
so now you can have unlimited nested components doing it this way.

in your index.js
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom/client";
import "./index.css";
import App from "./App";
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root")); //where App must rendered in real DOM?in root
root.render(<App />); //jsx code is a special syntax that browser not undrestand it!
and in your App.js
import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";
import AllMeetupsPage from "./pages/AllMeetups";
import NewMeetupPage from "./pages/NewMeetup";
import FavoritesPage from "./pages/Favorites";
function App() {
return (
<div>
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<AllMeetupsPage />} />
<Route path="/new-meetup" element={<NewMeetupPage />} />
<Route path="/favorites" element={<FavoritesPage />} />
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
</div>
);
}
export default App;

There is another way to fix the version issues:
App.js File:
import { BrowserRouter, Route, Routes } from "react-router-dom";
import Welcome from "./Pages/Welcome";
import Game from "./Pages/Game";
import Leaderboard from "./Pages/Leaderboard";
function App() {
return (<div>
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>
<Route path = "/Welcome" element={< Welcome/>}/>
<Route path = "/Game" element={< Game/>}/>
<Route path = "/LeaderBoard" element={< LeaderBoard/>}/>
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
</div>
);
}
export default App;
Index.js file:
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './index.css';
import App from './App';
ReactDOM.render(
<React.StrictMode>
<App />
</React.StrictMode>,
document.getElementById('root')
);

React Routing doesnt render

I have tried to learn React and now wanted make a Route but it seems like it doesnt render Overview.
Iam thankful for any help.
import Sidebar from "./components/Sidebar";
import {BrowserRouter as Router, Switch, Route} from 'react-router-dom';
import Overview from "./pages/Overview";
function App() {
return (
<Router>
<Sidebar />
<Switch>
<Route path="/overview" components={Overview} />
</Switch>
</Router>
);
}
export default App;
import React from 'react';
const Overview = () => {
return (
<>
<div>Please Render!!</div>
</>
)
};
export default Overview;

The Route accepts component as param and not components. See here
Your code should be -
import Sidebar from "./components/Sidebar";
import {BrowserRouter as Router, Switch, Route} from 'react-router-dom';
import Overview from "./pages/Overview";
function App() {
return (
<Router>
<Sidebar />
<Switch>
<Route path="/overview" component={Overview} />
</Switch>
</Router>
);
}
export default App;

You have type error, you write components instead of component.
Change this
<Route path="/overview" components={Overview} />
to this
<Route path="/overview" component={Overview} />

Add exact attribute as following:
<Route path="/overview" exact components={Overview} />

You must switch components to component. Just take out the s.

Declaring React Routes in a separate file and Importing

I am new to React. I have been trying to declare routes in a file and then use it in another file.
Here is my routes.js
import React from 'react';
import { Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import App from './components/App';
import Template1 from './components/template1';
import Template2 from './components/template2';
import Template3 from './components/template3';
const routes = (
<Route exact path="/" component={App}>
<Route exact path="/sessionstate1" component={Template1} />
<Route exact path="/sessionstate2" component={Template2} />
<Route exact path="/sessionstate3" component={Template3} />
</Route>
)
export default routes
and index.js
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { BrowserRouter as Router } from 'react-router-dom';
import './styles/css/index.css';
import routes from './routes.js';
ReactDOM.render(
<Router history={browserHistory} routes={routes} />,
document.getElementById('root')
);
I am not getting any errors or warning but the page is not loading. Please tell me what I am missing
Thanks

well i had the same issue a few days ago, and the solution for me was this...
This one of the routes files:
import React from 'react';
import { Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import { ComponentY } from '../components/functionalitys';
export default [
<Route path="/appointment" component={ComponentY} exact key="create" />,
];
This another route file:
import React from 'react';
import { Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import { LoginPage, Register } from '../components/user';
export default [
<Route path="/register" component={Register} exact key="create" />,
<Route path="/login" component={LoginPage} exact strict key="login" />
];
And this is how I imported in the main app.js:
import routesFromFile1 from './the/route';
import routesFromFile2 from './the/other/route';
class App extends Component{
render(){
return(
<div className="wrapper">
<section className="content container-fluid">
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={Home} strict={true} exact={true}/>
<Route path="/500" component={InternalServer} />
{routesFromFile1}
{routesFromFile2}
</Switch>
</section>
</div>
)
}
}
I hope this help Someone! Cheers!!

You don't need to wrap your Routes inside a div. Try something like this:
routes.js
import React from 'react';
import { Router, Route } from 'react-router';
import { Template1, Template2, Template3 } from './templates';
const createRoutes = () => (
<Router>
<Route exact path="/sessionstate1" component={Template1}/>
<Route exact path="/sessionstate2" component={Template2}/>
<Route exact path="/sessionstate3" component={Template3}/>
</Router>
);
export default createRoutes;
index.js
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import createRoutes from './routes';
const routes = createRoutes();
ReactDOM.render(
routes,
document.getElementById('root')
);

index.js:
import LoginRoutes from './login/routes'
let routeConfig = [];
routeConfig = routeConfig.concat(LoginRoutes(store));
<Router routes={routeConfig}/>
routes.js:
export default (store) => {
return [
{path: '/login', component: Login},
{path: '/signup', component: SignUp},
]
}
This way you can add routes from different files and spread your route definitions to different folders that serve the contextual purpose of the route.
The store variable is there in case you want to use redux and want to have an onEnter event on the route. Example:
export default () => {
const sessionEnter = (location) => {
let {appId} = location.params;
store.dispatch(loadApp(appId));
return [
{path: '/apps/:appId', component: App, onEnter: sessionEnter},
]
}
I find onEnter events a good alternative to componentDidMount, data-fetching-wise. Invoking a data fetch on route level makes more sense to me as I see the component as part of the presentation level.

I think the problem is with wrapping the Route inside a div.
Try wrapping them inside a Route like following. Try this fiddle and change the routes wrapper to div.
const routes=(
<Route >
<Route exact path="/sessionstate1" component={Template1}/>
<Route exact path="/sessionstate2" component={Template2}/>
<Route exact path="/sessionstate3" component={Template3}/>
</Route >
)
export default routes;
And import it into index.js
import routes from './routes.js';
ReactDOM.render(
<Router history={browserHistory} routes={routes} />,
document.getElementById('root')
);

With Typescript
Sepate the file for routes as routes.ts
export const routes = [
{ path: '/', component: Home },
{ path: '/auth-callback', component: authCallback },
{ path: '/fetch-data/:startDateIndex?', component: FetchData }
];
In the App.tsx
export function App() {
const routeComponents = routes.map(({ path, component }, key) => <Route exact path={path} component={component} key={key} />);
return (
<Layout>
{routeComponents}
</Layout>
);
}
Layout.tsx
export default (props: { children?: React.ReactNode }) => (
<React.Fragment>
<div>
<NavMenu />
<TopAppBarFixedAdjust>
{props.children}
</TopAppBarFixedAdjust>
</div>
</React.Fragment>
);

I know I'm little late but here my working
here a working demo
my dependencies are
"react": "16.2.0",
"react-dom": "16.2.0",
"react-router-dom": "4.2.2",
"react-scripts": "1.1.0"
create nav.js file as this
this file is responsible for storing all the links for navbar
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { Link } from "react-router-dom";
class Navi extends Component {
render = () => (
<div>
<Link to="/">Go to Home</Link> <br />
<Link to="/about">Go to About</Link> <br />
<Link to="/any-route">404 page</Link>
</div>
);
}
export default Navi;
Then the routes.js file
here you will define all your routes, and your pages where the routes should navigates to
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Link, Switch } from "react-router-dom";
// your components
const Home = () => <h1>Home</h1>;
const About = () => <h1>About</h1>;
const MissingPage = () => <h1>404</h1>;
const routes = (
<Switch>
<Route path="/" exact component={Home} />
<Route path="/about" component={About} />
<Route component={MissingPage} />
</Switch>
);
export default routes;
finally here is the code for index.js
import React, { Component } from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Link, Switch } from "react-router-dom";
import Navi from "./nav";
import routes from "./routes";
// initialize rotues and navi links
const initRoutes = () => (
<Router>
<div>
<Navi />
{routes}
</div>
</Router>
);
const initializedRoutes = initRoutes();
ReactDOM.render(
initializedRoutes,
document.getElementById("root")
);

This is the routing page created
routing page imported
Hope, it will help everyone. click the link to see code.!!

In react-router-dom version 6.x.x
Suppose you have the following URLs in your react app
/
/home
/handlers
/handlers/notes
/handlers/users
you can isolate all routing components related to handlers(including its nested URLs) by:
Define your main routing
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<HomePage />} />
<Route path="/home" element={<HomePage />} />
<Route path="/handlers/*" element={<AllHandlersPages />} />
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
Notice the existence of path="/handlers/*" where we have a wildcard * to tell react-router-dom to match with any nested route too
then
declare AllHandlersPages in another file like this
export function AllHandlersPages() {
return (
<Routes>
<Route>
<Route index element={<HandlersIndexPage />} />
<Route path="notes" element={<NotesPage />} />
<Route path="users" element={<UsersPage />} />
</Route>
</Routes>
);
}
Because <Route /> can't be defined unless it has a parent <Routes /> don't forget to make them nested properly.
Full working Demo

Try it like this way
import React from "react";
import {HashRouter as Router, Route} from 'react-router-dom';
import NoteContainer from "./component/note/index.jsx";
import Header from "./component/common/header.jsx";
const App = (props) => {
return (
<div className="container">
<Header/> {props.children}
</div>
);
};
var x = () => {
return (
<h1>Hello world!</h1>
);
};
module.exports = () => {
return (
<Router>
<App>
<Route path="/" component={NoteContainer}/>
<Route path="/inbox" component={x}/>
</App>
</Router>
);
};

I did it with very simple way. Follow the two steps below.
In App.js
import "bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css";
import Header from "./component/common/header";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Link, Switch } from "react-router-dom";
import routes from "./routes";
function App() {
return (
<Router>
<section className="container">
<Header />
{routes}
</section>
</Router>
);
}
export default App;
in routes.js
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Link, Switch } from "react-router-dom";
import Overview from "./component/overview/overview";
import UsersList from "./component/userslist/UsersList";
import FavUserList from "./component/userslist/FavUserList";
const routes = (
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={Overview} />
<Route path="/adduser" component={UsersList} />
<Route path="/favuser" component={FavUserList} />
</Switch>
);
export default routes;
Note: Make sure you import like this
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Link, Switch } from "react-router-dom";
In < Header /> component you have to declare navigation link.

i'm starting into react too, and i figured out a way to make what you are looking for.
What i did was inside the app file (which comes default in every project) i imported the routes file, the routes file is located in a folder called approuter (you can name it whatever you want), i'll write some of my code so you can see what i mean
//APP FILE
import AppRouter from './router/approuter'
function App() {
return (
<>
<div className='app' id="mode">
<AppRouter />
</div>
</>
)
}
export default App
//ROUTER FILE/
import { Route, Routes } from 'react-router-dom'}
import Register from "../pages/register"
import Login from "../pages/login"
export default function AppRouter() {
return (
<>
<div>
<Routes>
<Route path="login" element={<Login />}/>
<Route path="register" element={<Register />}/>
</Routes>
</div>
</>
)
}
This actually worked in a project i'm currently working on, i hope this can answer your question

**index.js**
import ReactDOM from "react-dom/client";
import Paths from "./routes/Paths";
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root"));
root.render(
<React.StrictMode>
<Paths />
</React.StrictMode>
);
**Paths.js**
import LoginSample from "../portal/LoginSample";
import Dashboard from "../portal/Dashboard";
function Paths() {
return (
<Router>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<LoginSample />} />
<Route path="/dashboard" element={<Dashboard />} />
</Routes>
</Router>
);
}
export default Paths;

Also new to react and was running into the same issue. Here is what I tried (obviously different code and structure, but what we're looking for should be the same functionality)
index.js
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { createHashHistory } from "history";
import { BrowserRouter, Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import routes from "./routes";
const allRoutes = routes;
ReactDOM.render(
allRoutes,
document.getElementById("app")
)
and the routes.js file.
import React from "react";
import { createHashHistory } from "history";
import { BrowserRouter, Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import App from "./pages/App";
import Detail from "./pages/Detail";
import List from "./pages/List";
const routes = (
<BrowserRouter>
<div>
<Route exact path="/" component={ App } />
<Route path="/" component={ List } />
<Route path="/detail/:repo" component={ Detail } />
</div>
</BrowserRouter>
);
export default routes;
Let me know if that works for you.
