I am getting the following error when running npm run start in the terminal.
Attempted import error: 'Redirect' is not exported from 'react-router-dom'.
I have reinstalled node_modules, react-router-dom, react-router. Also restarted the terminal and my computer, but the issue persists.
My code:
import React from 'react';
import { Switch, Redirect } from 'react-router-dom';
import { RouteWithLayout } from './components';
import { Minimal as MinimalLayout } from './layouts';
import {
Login as LoginView,
Dashboard as DashboardView,
NotFound as NotFoundView
} from './views';
const Routes = () => {
return (
<Switch>
<Redirect
exact
from="/"
to="/dashboard"
/>
<RouteWithLayout
component={routeProps => <LoginView {...routeProps} data={data} />}
exact
layout={MinimalLayout}
path="/login"
/>
<Redirect to="/not-found" />
</Switch>
);
};
export default Routes;
Here is my package.json imports:
"react-router": "^6.0.0-beta.0",
"react-router-dom": "^6.0.0-beta.0",
For react-router-dom v6, simply replace Redirect with Navigate
import { Navigate } from 'react-router-dom';
.
.
.
{ component: () => <Navigate to="/404" /> }
Redirect has been removed from v6. You can replace Redirect with Navigate.
import {
BrowserRouter as Router,
Routes,
Route,
Navigate,
} from 'react-router-dom';
import Home from '../home/Home';
export default function App() {
return (
<Router>
<Routes>
<Route path="/home" element={<Home />} />
<Route path="/" element={<Navigate replace to="/home" />} />
</Routes>
</Router>
);
}
Redirect component has been removed from the react-router version 6.
From react router docs:
The
<Redirect>element from v5 is no longer supported as part of your route config (inside a ). This is due to upcoming changes in React that make it unsafe to alter the state of the router during the initial render. If you need to redirect immediately, you can either a) do it on your server (probably the best solution) or b) render a<Navigate>element in your route component. However, recognize that the navigation will happen in auseEffect.
If you want to use Redirect component, you will have to use react router version 5.
Alternatively, you can use Navigate component from react router v6. A <Navigate> element changes the current location when it is rendered
import { Navigate } from "react-router-dom";
return (
<Navigate to="/dashboard" replace={true} />
)
Note: Navigate is a component wrapper around useNavigate hook. You can use this hook to change routes programmatically.
