<div className="h-100">

ReactDOM.render(
<React.StrictMode>
<Router>
<App/>
</Router>
</React.StrictMode>
,
document.getElementById('root')

I can not either import switch from react-router-dom, it says switch is not exported from react router dom, I think have correctly set up my routes where is the error i can not pass state from one route to another
I was able to get state by doing this:
<Link
to={"/posts"}
state={{test: 'test'}}>
Posts
</Link>
I opened the type declaration and finally realized state was a prop, and not part of the to object https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/blob/dev/docs/api-reference.md#link
I would like to add that in Version 5 you could get the state passed to the component by the props.
Now it only works using useLocation.
Component where the <Link />
is
<Link to={'/page1'} state={{ state: 'mystate' }} >Page 1</Link>
Component where you want to get the state
import { useLocation } from 'react-router-dom';
const { state } = useLocation()
I found this article about that. https://ui.dev/react-router-pass-props-to-link/
I spend to many time around this and somehow i couldn't find any information about this on the documentation.
Hope to help someone out there
