Nesting Routes in react-router v4
I've upgraded the react router to version 4 in my application. But now I'm getting the error
Warning: You should not use <Route component> and <Route children> in the same route; <Route children> will be ignored
What is wrong with this routing?
import {
Switch,
BrowserRouter as Router,
Route, IndexRoute, Redirect,
browserHistory
} from 'react-router-dom'
render((
<Router history={ browserHistory }>
<Switch>
<Route path='/' component={ Main }>
<IndexRoute component={ Search } />
<Route path='cars/:id' component={ Cars } />
<Route path='vegetables/:id' component={ Vegetables } />
</Route>
<Redirect from='*' to='/' />
</Switch>
</Router>
), document.getElementById('main'))
IndexRoute and browserHistory are not available in the latest version, also Routes do not accept children Routes with v4, Instead, you can specify Routes within the component Itself
import {
Switch,
BrowserRouter as Router,
Route, Redirect
} from 'react-router-dom'
render((
<Router>
<Switch>
<Route exact path='/' component={ Main }/>
<Redirect from='*' to='/' />
</Switch>
</Router>
), document.getElementById('main'))
Then in the Main Component
render() {
const {match} = this.props;
return (
<div>
{/* other things*/}
<Route exact path="/" component={ Search } />
<Route path={`${match.path}cars/:id`} component={ Cars } />
</div>
)
}
Similarly in the cars component
you will have
render() {
const {match} = this.props;
return (
<div>
{/* other things*/}
<Route path={`${match.path}/vegetables/:id`} component={ Vegetables } />
</div>
)
}
