react router v4 default page(not found page)

This is common purpose, directing unmatch request to notfound page.

making this with react-router v4 looks like previous versions and I expect this sample works below. Links work fine but I expect NotFound component called only unknown url requested; but its always there.

import {
  BrowserRouter as Router,
  Route,
  Link
} from 'react-router-dom'


class Layout extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
    <Router>
      <div className="App">
        <ul>
          <li><Link to="/">Home</Link></li>
          <li><Link to="/user">User</Link></li>
        </ul>
        <Route exact path="/" component={Home}/>
        <Route path="/user" component={User}/>
        <Route path="*" component={Notfound}/>
      </div>
  </Router>
    );
  }
}

enter image description here enter image description here

its since path="*" represent all request and notfound component always there but how can I say hide this component for valid url path?

React Router's No Match documentation covers this. You need to import the <Switch> component, then you can remove the path attribute altogether.

A <Switch> renders the first child <Route> that matches. A <Route> with no path always matches

This is the example that uses:

<Router>
  <div>
    <Switch>
      <Route path="/" exact component={Home}/>
      <Redirect from="/old-match" to="/will-match"/>
      <Route path="/will-match" component={WillMatch}/>
      <Route component={NoMatch}/>
    </Switch>
  </div>
</Router>

So in your case, you'd simply drop the path="*" and introduce the <Switch>:

<Switch>
  <Route exact path="/" component={Home}/>
  <Route path="/user" component={User}/>
  <Route component={Notfound} />
</Switch>

Remember to include Switch to your import statement at the top.

this is my solution with two components.

const NotFound = () => <div>Not found</div>

const NotFoundRedirect = () => <Redirect to='/not-found' />

//root component
<Switch>
 <Route path='/users' component={UsersPages} />
 <Route path='/not-found' component={NotFound} />
 <Route component={NotFoundRedirect} />
</Switch>

//UsersPages component
<Switch>
 <Route path='/home' component={HomePage} />
 <Route path='/profile' component={ProfilePage} />
 <Route component={NotFoundRedirect} />
</Switch>

That work perfect for me. Thanks.

This method works perfectly, it allows to make a redirect if the url does not exist or if it is false

function App() {
  return (
    <Router>
      <Switch>
        <Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
        <Route path="/sorties-scolaires" component={SortiesScolaires} />
        <Route path="/voyages-entreprise" component={VoyagesEntreprise} />
        <Route path="*">
          <Redirect to="/" />
        </Route>
      </Switch>
    </Router>
  );
}
