I know this question has been asked a lot and I've looked at quite a lot of answers and articles including one on how to upgrade from React Router V5 to V6 since I'm used to V5. However, V6 is giving me a weird issue which I don't know how to fix or what am I doing wrong.
Here's my code below
App.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Routes } from 'react-router-dom';
import Login from './components/dashboard/Login';
import Profile from './components/dashboard/Profile';
import './resources/style/tutorApp.css';
export default class App extends Component {
static displayName = App.name;
render () {
return (
<Router>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={ <Profile /> } />
<Route path="/Login" element={ <Login /> } />
</Routes>
</Router>
);
}
}
Profile.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
class Profile extends Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
<h1>This is my Profile Page.</h1>
</div>
);
}
}
export default Profile;
Login.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
class Login extends Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
<h1>This is my Login page.</h1>
</div>
);
}
}
export default Login;
index.js
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
import App from './App';
import registerServiceWorker from './registerServiceWorker';
const baseUrl = document.getElementsByTagName('base')[0].getAttribute('href');
const rootElement = document.getElementById('root');
ReactDOM.render(
<BrowserRouter basename={baseUrl}>
<App />
</BrowserRouter>,
rootElement);
registerServiceWorker();
I just get a blank window in the browser. Nothing is rendered! What is the problem?
You are mounting a router inside another router.
In ReactDom.render you're wrapping your app in BrowserRouter.
import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
// ...
ReactDOM.render(
<BrowserRouter basename={baseUrl}> // <-- this is the outer browser router
<App />
</BrowserRouter>,
rootElement
);
However inside your app you mount another BrowserRouter in your render method.
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Routes } from 'react-router-dom';
// ...
render () {
return (
<Router> // <-- this is the nested browser router
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={ <Profile /> } />
<Route path="/Login" element={ <Login /> } />
</Routes>
</Router>
);
}
To fix the problem simply remove one or the other.
The rest of your code looks fine.
