I'm trying to use React Router 4.2.2 in order to load a component called PostFocus whenever I click on a 'Card' component, with a Link wrapped around it. When I click on a 'Card' the path changes correctly, but the PostFocus component isn't rendered. Have I done something wrong or missed something out in the Route? I can't figure it out.
Here is the code:
class PostsList extends React.Component {
render() {
var createCards = this.props.posts.map((post, i) => {
return (
<div key={i}>
<Link to={`/${post.id}`}>
<Card title={post.title} subtitle={post.subtitle} date={post.date} id={post.id}/>
</Link>
<Route exact path={`/${post.id}`} render={(post) => (
<PostFocus content={post.content}/>
)}/>
</div>
);
});
return (
<div>
{createCards}
</div>
);
}
App Component:
import React from 'react';
import PostsList from '../containers/posts_list.js';
import {withRouter} from 'react-router';
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return(
<div>
<PostsList />
</div>
);
}
}
export default withRouter(App);
index.js code:
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
import { createStore, applyMiddleware } from 'redux';
import ReduxPromise from 'redux-promise';
import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
import App from './components/App.jsx';
import reducers from './reducers';
const createStoreWithMiddleware = applyMiddleware(ReduxPromise)(createStore);
ReactDOM.render(
<Provider store={createStoreWithMiddleware(reducers)}>
<BrowserRouter>
<App />
</BrowserRouter>
</Provider>
, document.getElementById('root'));
I was also facing the same problem. I fixed it with a trick.
You might have BrowseRouter in your App.js or index.js, I had it in my index.js like this :
ReactDOM.render(<BrowserRouter>
<App />
</BrowserRouter>, document.getElementById('root'))
I changed it to :-
ReactDOM.render((
<BrowserRouter>
<Route component={App} />
</BrowserRouter>
), document.getElementById('root'))
and it tricked, actually we are keeping the router look over our complete application by doing this, thus it also checks up with the routing path and automatically renders the view. I hope it helps.
Note:- Do not forget to import Route in your index.js

Hi... Sorry for the late reply, I was not getting time to work on it.. Your code is running in my system, I didn't had access to push a branch in your repo.. make your App.js like below.. it will work for sure..
import React from 'react';
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route } from 'react-router-dom'
import Navbar from './Components/Navbar/Navbar';
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<Router>
<div className="App">
<Route component={Navbar}/>
</div>
</Router>
);
}
}
export default App;
I solved this problem simply use tag instead of Link helper. Not sure is it right or not, but it works for me, hope it will helps anybody else.

I am fairly new to using react and been following a couple of tutorials on YT, I have ran into a problem with one of them. I copied everything line by line, but my text on 'Home' and 'Login' doesnt display! I get no errors, but the page remains blank.
here is App.js
import React from 'react'
import { Routes, Route, useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';
import Login from './components/Login';
import Home from './container/Home';
const App = () => {
return (
<Routes>
<Route path="login" element={<Login />} />
<Route path="/*" element={<Home />} />
</Routes>
);
};
export default App;
Also the index.js file:
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { BrowserRouter as Router } from 'react-router-dom';
import App from './App';
import './index.css';
ReactDOM.render(
<Router>
<App />
</Router>,
document.getElementById('root'),
);
**Then Login.jsx
**
import React from 'react';
const Login = () => {
return (
<div>
Login
</div>
);
};
export default Login;
Finally Home.jsx
import React from 'react';``your text``
const Home = () => {
return (
<div>
Home
</div>
);
};
export default Home;
I know I am missing something, but I cant seem to find it! Any and all help is very much appreciated!
Tried to see if I am using on old version of the BroswerROuter/Routes in React, but I have very little knowledge to see the difference just yet!
I am learning React, so this question may make no sense but I want to learn it.
I have index.html page and I want to jump to Components.html page.
RouteToComponent.jsx
import React from 'react';
class RouteToComponents extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
Components
</div>
);
}
}
export default RouteToComponents;
RouteToComponent.jsx is called inside index.jsx
index.jsx
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import RouteToComponents from './BasicJSX/RouteToComponents.jsx';
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
Hello World!!!
<RouteToComponents />
</div>
);
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));
export default App;
components.jsx
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
Entered Components HTML!!!
</div>
);
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));
export default App;
But when I click on a tag URL changes but the page remains same.
Wrap your App.js with Router and define Routes. <Route /> allows us to define all paths of our Application.
import {
BrowserRouter as Router,
Switch,
Route,
Link
} from "react-router-dom";
import RouteToComponents from './RouteToComponents.jsx';
import AnyComponent from './AnyComponent';
import App from './App.jsx';
return (
<Router>
<RouteToComponents />
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={App} />
<Route path="/Components/Components.html" component={AnyComponent} />
</Switch>
</Router>
);
Now in your Component where you want to use Link.
In React <Link /> is used instead of anchor.
import { Link } from "react-router-dom";
return (
<div>
<Link to="Components/Components.html">Components</Link>
<Link to="/">Home</Link>
</div>
);
to in Link attribute is similar to href in anchor.
Remember:
npm i react-router-dom
to attribute of Link must be similar to the path defined in App.js Route.
Because when you click on Link it matches Routes in App.js
I am trying to route to a class component but it gives me an error. When I change the component to a functional component, the routing works. How do I route to class components?
I am new to using react-router. I first had a functional component to route to. But once I realized the component needs to be a class, I changed it to a class and now the routing shows
"Cannot GET /explore/words'.
index.js
import React from "react";
import { render } from "react-dom";
import { BrowserRouter } from "react-router-dom";
import App from "./App";
render(
<BrowserRouter>
<App />
</BrowserRouter>,
document.querySelector("#root")
);
App.js
import React from "react";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Switch } from "react-router-dom";
import HomePage from "./pages/HomePage";
import ExplorePage from "./pages/ExplorePage";
function App() {
return (
<Router>
<div>
<header>
<nav>Course Finder</nav>
</header>
<Route path="/" component={HomePage} />
<Route path="/explore/:campus" component={ExplorePage} />
</div>
</Router>
);
}
export default App;
Explore.js
import React, { Component } from "react";
class ExplorePage extends Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
<h1>Explore</h1>
</div>
);
}
}
export default ExplorePage;
Expected result was to see the 'Explore' heading.
I get 'Cannot GET /explore/words' instead.
This is working fine, all you have to do is add /explore/one to url to see the route working.

I am new to react and still learning.
I am trying to add nested routes in my react project, so that a content of div changes based on the route.
Following are my components :-
//index.js
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
import 'font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css';
import './index.css';
import App from './App';
import * as serviceWorker from './serviceWorker';
library.add(faIgloo);
ReactDOM.render(<BrowserRouter>
<App />
</BrowserRouter>, document.getElementById('root'));
serviceWorker.unregister();
// app.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Route, Switch, Redirect } from 'react-router-dom';
import Login from './components/login/login.js'
import Protected from './components/protected/protected.js'
import './App.css';
class App extends Component {
render() {
return (
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/protected" component={Protected}/>
<Route path="/login" component={Login}/>
</Switch>
);
}
}
export default App;
//protected.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Route, Switch } from 'react-router-dom';
import Header from './header/header.js';
import './protected.css';
import CafePreview from './cafepreview/cafepreview.js'
class Protected extends Component {
render() {
const {match} = this.props;
return (
<div>
<Header></Header>
{/*<Preview/>*/}
<Switch>
<Route path='/protected/cafepreview' component={CafePreview}/>
</Switch>
</div>
);
}
}
export default Protected
// cafepreview.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Route, Switch } from 'react-router-dom';
import './preview.css';
console.log("here");
class CafePreview extends Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
<div>
<i class="fa fas fa-arrow-left"></i>
<span> BACK TO ALL CAFES </span>
</div>
</div>
);
}
}
export default CafePreview
When i open '/protected' i can see the header coming, but when i try to open '/protected/cafepreview' i see an empty page instead of header with cafe preview html.
I tried some options mentioned in this stackoverflow thread Multiple Nested Routes in react-router-dom v4 but none of them worked.
I hope i have explained my problem clearly.
Check documentation https://reacttraining.com/react-router/web/api/Route/exact-bool. Remove exact from the route in the App component and it will start working.
its because you have set exact in the app.js file. Remove it from the particular route. It'll work
I am having some trouble with a component not rendering after following its route. The routes are created in a parent component Drawings, and send a couple of props to Drawing components.
When I click the link, I get to the correct path, for example, /drawing/20170724, and the log statement I have in the render function runs. I also get the props, so far so good. However, the return doesn't happen, so the HTML I need isn't available.
Here is Drawings where the routes and links are created:
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { Route, Link } from "react-router-dom";
import AnimatedWrapper from "../modules/AnimatedWrapper";
import Drawing from '../components/Drawing';
class DrawingsComponent extends Component {
render() {
const drawings = this.props.drawings;
const drawingsMap = this.props.drawingsMap;
return(
<div>
<div className="page">
<div className="drawings-list">
{
drawings.map((drawing) => {
return(
<Link to={`/drawing/${drawing.date}`} key={drawing.date}>
<div className="drawing-thumb">
<h2>{drawing.date}</h2>
</div>
</Link>
)
})
}
</div>
{
Object.keys(drawingsMap).map((d, i) => {
return <Route path={`/drawing/${drawings[i].date}`} render={(props) => (<Drawing drawingPkg={drawingsMap[d]} drawingInfo={drawings[i]} {...props} />)} key={`${drawings[i].date}`}/>
})}
</div>
</div>
)
}
}
const Drawings = AnimatedWrapper(DrawingsComponent);
export default Drawings;
And here is Drawing:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import AnimatedWrapper from "../modules/AnimatedWrapper";
class DrawingComponent extends Component {
render() {
const drawing = this.props.drawingPkg;
const drawingInfo = this.props.drawingInfo;
console.log('gonna draw now');
return(
<div className="drawing">
<h2 className="drawing-title">{drawingInfo.title}</h2>
<canvas></canvas>
</div>
)
}
}
const Drawing = AnimatedWrapper(DrawingComponent);
export default Drawing;
I can't figure out why the Drawing component isn't returning.
What you are doing is wrong. You change the URL when the link is clicked. Then you have to give routes configuration, that tells react router which component to render when the URL changes. It should be something like this inside your index.js file.
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
import { createStore, applyMiddleware } from 'redux';
import { BrowserRouter, Route, Switch } from 'react-router-dom';
import promise from 'redux-promise';
import reducers from './reducers';
import Drawing './components/drawing_component';
const createStoreWithMiddleware = applyMiddleware(promise)(createStore);
ReactDOM.render(
<Provider store={createStoreWithMiddleware(reducers)}>
<BrowserRouter>
<div>
<Switch>
<Route path="/drawings/:date" component={Drawing} />
<Route path="/" component={IndexComponent} />
</Switch>
</div>
</BrowserRouter>
</Provider>
, document.querySelector('.container'));
I think what is wrong here is your routes config. I have never seen route config is given like the way you do.
Then write a separate Drawing component which renders a given drawing instance.
With this change your Link should be like this.
<Link to={`/drawing/${drawing.date}`}>
{drawing.date}
</Link>
The bottom line is this. Here you give some text with a hyperlink. Upon clicking this router changes the URL as in your case now. Then it uses router config to render the relevant component.
