React-router with BrowserRouter / browserHistory doesn't work on refresh
First thing you have mentioned in your routes as the home component to have path /home
. So you need to visit http://localhost:8080/home
. Also if you try to access this url directly, it will give you this error since you are using browserHistory
. If you want you can use hashHistory
or HashRouter
in react-router v4, in which case you will need to visit http://localhost:8080/#/home
. If you want to continue using browserHistory
or BrowserRouter
as in react-router v4, then you will need to add historyApiFallback: true
in you webpack
var webpack = require('webpack');
var path = require('path');
var BUILD_DIR = path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/client/public');
var APP_DIR = path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/client/app');
var config = {
entry: [
APP_DIR + '/config/routes.jsx',
'webpack/hot/dev-server',
'webpack-dev-server/client?http://localhost:8080'
],
output: {
publicPath: 'http://localhost:8080/src/client/public/'
},
devServer: {
historyApiFallback: true
},
module : {
loaders : [
{
test: /\.jsx?$/,
loader: 'babel-loader',
include: APP_DIR,
exclude: /node_modules/,
query: {
presets: ['es2015']
}
},
{
test: /\.scss$/,
loaders: [ 'style', 'css', 'sass' ]
},
{
test: /\.json$/,
loader: "json-loader"
}
]
}
};
module.exports = config;
You need to add this in your webpack settings:
devServer: {
historyApiFallback: true,
},
And start your server like this:
webpack-dev-server --config webpack.config.js
Because you want React-Route to handle the route instead of your server. So no matter what the url is it should goes to index.html.
