I'm trying to set up routing but for some reason, it returns a blank page and renders nothing.
I'm using router version 6.3.0
// index.js
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { BrowserRouter } from "react-router-dom";
import './index.css';
import App from './App';
ReactDOM.render(
<React.StrictMode>
<BrowserRouter><App /></BrowserRouter>
</React.StrictMode>,
document.getElementById('root')
);
// --------------------------------------------- //
// App.js
import React, { Component, Fragment } from "react";
import { Route } from "react-router-dom";
import Header from "./components/Landing/Header"
import Landing from "./components/Landing/Landing";
import Footer from "./components/Landing/Footer";
class App extends Component {
render() {
return (
<Fragment>
<Header />
<Route path="/landing">
<Landing />
</Route>
<Footer />
</Fragment>
);
}
}
export default App;
// --------------------------------------------- //
// Landing.js
import Body from './Body'
function Landing(props) {
return (
<Body>
<div className="Landing">
Landing Context
</div>
</Body>
)
}
export default Landing;
So when I visit http://localhost:3000/landing nothing is rendered, and when I try http://localhost:3000 nothing is rendered either.
If I remove the <Route></Route> part in App.js, it renders, but on any URL. What do I miss?
react-router v6 has some breaking changes, it replaced Switch with Routes component:
/ index.js
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { BrowserRouter } from "react-router-dom";
import './index.css';
import App from './App';
ReactDOM.render(
<React.StrictMode>
<BrowserRouter><App /></BrowserRouter>
</React.StrictMode>,
document.getElementById('root')
);
// --------------------------------------------- //
// App.js
import React, { Component, Fragment } from "react";
import { Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";
import Header from "./components/Landing/Header"
import Landing from "./components/Landing/Landing";
import Footer from "./components/Landing/Footer";
class App extends Component {
render() {
return (
<Fragment>
<Header />
<Routes>
<Route path="/landing" element={<Landing />}/>
</Routes>
<Footer />
</Fragment>
);
}
}
export default App;
As the OP is using react-router-dom v6
Instead of children, it is expecting element props to render the component.

In app.js wrap your route in router like this
import React, { Component, Fragment } from "react";
import { Router, Route } from "react-router-dom";
import Header from "./components/Landing/Header"
import Landing from "./components/Landing/Landing";
import Footer from "./components/Landing/Footer";
class App extends Component {
render() {
return (
<Fragment>
<Header />
<Router>
<Route path="/landing">
<Landing />
</Route>
</Router>
<Footer />
</Fragment>
);
}
}
export default App;
