I've noticed React Router DOM (v6) is now using functions in their help guides in regards to pages instead of using classes.
Previously used classes like so:
export class Login extends React.Component {
render() {
return <p>test</p>
}
}
However, after trying the latest version of React Router DOM I would receive an empty page for the navigation route.
import {Login} from "./js/components/Auth/Login";
function App() {
return <h2>Test</h2>
}
if (document.getElementById('app')) {
ReactDOM.render(
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<App />} />
<Route path="/login" component={() => <Login />} />
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>, document.getElementById('app'))
}
App works fine ('/' route), but /login returns an empty page with no error..
Login refers to a class that uses render() and returns <p>test</p>
Am I doing something incorrectly? Are libraries leaning towards functions instead of class components?
This guide seems to be only using functions for components.
Class vs Function components is irrelevant in RRDv6, they simply render React components specified as JSX, not as a reference to a component, and not as a function returning JSX. There is also no render or component props, the Route components now use only element to render the route components.
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<App />} />
<Route path="/login" element={<Login />} />
</Routes>
