How to redirect in React Router v6?

I am trying to upgrade to React Router v6 (react-router-dom 6.0.1).

Here is my updated code:

import { BrowserRouter, Navigate, Route, Routes } from 'react-router-dom';

<BrowserRouter>
  <Routes>
    <Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
    <Route path="/lab" element={<Lab />} />
    <Route render={() => <Navigate to="/" />} />
  </Routes>
</BrowserRouter>

The last Route is redirecting the rest of paths to /.

However, I got an error

TS2322: Type '{ render: () => Element; }' is not assignable to type 'IntrinsicAttributes & (PathRouteProps | LayoutRouteProps | IndexRouteProps)'.   Property 'render' does not exist on type 'IntrinsicAttributes & (PathRouteProps | LayoutRouteProps | IndexRouteProps)'.

However, based on the doc, it does have render for Route. How to use it correctly?

Create the file RequireAuth.tsx

import { useLocation, Navigate } from "react-router-dom";
import { useAuth } from "../hooks/Auth";

export function RequireAuth({ children }: { children: JSX.Element }) {
  let { user } = useAuth();
  let location = useLocation();

  if (!user) {
    return <Navigate to="/" state={{ from: location }} replace />;
  } else {
    return children;
  }
}

Import the component to need user a private router:

import { Routes as Switch, Route } from "react-router-dom";

import { RequireAuth } from "./RequireAuth";
import { SignIn } from "../pages/SignIn";
import { Dashboard } from "../pages/Dashboard";

export function Routes() {
  return (
    <Switch>
      <Route path="/" element={<SignIn />} />
      <Route
        path="/dashboard"
        element={
          <RequireAuth>
            <Dashboard />
          </RequireAuth>
        }
      />
    </Switch>
  );
}

I think you should use the no match route approach.

Check this in the documentation.

https://reactrouter.com/docs/en/v6/getting-started/tutorial#adding-a-no-match-route

import { BrowserRouter, Navigate, Route, Routes } from 'react-router-dom';

<BrowserRouter>
  <Routes>
    <Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
    <Route path="/lab" element={<Lab />} />
    <Route
        path="*"
        element={<Navigate to="/" replace />}
    />
  </Routes>
</BrowserRouter>

Update - 18/03/2022

To keep the history clean, you should set replace prop. This will avoid extra redirects after the user click back. Thanks @Paul for this tip.

I found another way to do this:

import { useNavigate } from "react-router-dom";
let navigate = useNavigate();

useEffect(() => {
   if (LoggedIn){
      return navigate("/");
   }
},[LoggedIn]);
