I have just started with React and not able to get the router working. Below is the code for router. If I use the individual components without the router, they are displayed on the screen. But with router I don't get any text on the screen across any of the paths.
Please let me know if I am missing something. Below is the code:
import { Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import AllMeetupsPage from './pages/AllMeetups';
import NewMeetupPage from './pages/NewMeetup';
function App() {
return (
<div>
<Route path='/' exact>
<AllMeetupsPage />
</Route>
<Route path='/new-meetup'>
<NewMeetupPage />
</Route>
</div>);
}
export default App;
A route needs to be a descendent of router component. I'm not sure which version of react-router you're using, but this will be a BrowserRouter and Routes component for react-router v6 and on v4/v5 it'll be a BrowserRouter
Here's some examples:
v6:
import {
BrowserRouter,
Routes,
Route
} from "react-router-dom";
import AllMeetupsPage from './pages/AllMeetups';
import NewMeetupPage from './pages/NewMeetup';
function App() {
return (
<div>
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" exact element={<AllMeetupsPage />}/>
<Route path="/new-meetup" element={<NewMeetupPage />}/>
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
</div>);
}
export default App;
You missed using Switch component
import { Route , Switch } from 'react-router-dom';
function App() {
return (
<div>
<Switch>
<Route path='/' exact>
<AllMeetupsPage />
</Route>
<Route path='/new-meetup'>
<NewMeetupPage />
</Route>
</Switch>
</div>);
}
export default App;
