React <Redirect> after transition not working

Question

I have the following component which has a redirection route after an animation is finished, like so:

Menus.jsx

class Menus extends Component{
  constructor (props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = { 
        select: 'espresso',      
        isLoading: false,
        redirect: false
    };

  gotoCoffee = () => {
    this.setState({isLoading:true})
    setTimeout(()=>{
      this.setState({isLoading:false,redirect:true})
    },5000)  //Replace this time with your animation time
  }

  renderCoffee = () => {
    if (this.state.redirect) {
      return (<Redirect to={`/coffee/${this.state.select}`} />)
    }
  }

  render(){
    return (
      <div>
        <h1 className="title is-1"><font color="#C86428">Menu</font></h1>
        <hr/><br/>
        <div>
           {this.state.isLoading && <Brewing />}
           {this.renderCoffee()}
          <div onClick={this.gotoCoffee} 
               style={{textDecoration:'underline',cursor:'pointer'}}>
              <strong><font color="#C86428">{this.state.coffees[0]}</font></strong></div>
        </div>
      </div>
    );       
  }
}

export default withRouter(Menus);

The animation called onCLick:

Brewing.jsx

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { withRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
import './css/mug.css'

class Brewing extends Component {
    constructor (props) {
    super(props);
  };
    render() {
        return (
            <div>
              <div className="cup">
                <div className="coffee"></div>
              </div>
              <div className="smoke"></div>
            </div>
        );
    }
}

export default withRouter(Brewing);  

And here redirected route component:

Coffee.jsx

class Coffees extends Component{
  constructor (props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
        select:'',
        template:''
    };
  };
  componentDidMount() {
    if (this.props.isAuthenticated) {
      this.getCoffee();
    }
  };
  getCoffee(event) {
    //const {userId} = this.props
    const options = {
      url: `${process.env.REACT_APP_WEB_SERVICE_URL}/coffee/espresso`,
      method: 'get',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        Authorization: `Bearer ${window.localStorage.authToken}`
      }
    };
    return axios(options)
    .then((res) => {
      console.log(res.data.data)
      this.setState({
        template: res.data.data[0].content
      })
    })    
    .catch((error) => { console.log(error); });
  };

    render(){
        var __html = this.state.template;
        var template = { __html: __html };

        return (
           <div id="parent">
           <h1 className="title is-1"><font color="#C86428">{this.state.select} playlist</font></h1>
            <hr/><br/>
            <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={template}/>
          </div>
        );
    }
}

export default withRouter(Coffees);

but <Redirect> in Menus.jsx is not working....url changes at browser but nothing happens; only if I refresh the browser /coffee is sucessfully mounted.

---

What I actually need to happen:

1. render Menu
2. click on a link
3. click renders an animation
4. when animation is done, after 5 seconds,
5. <Redirect> to /coffee

what am I missing?

Answer 1

When you say url changes at browser but nothing happens; only if I refresh the browser /coffee is sucessfully mounted.

This might be the issue with your Routes.

When you redirect to path /coffee/${this.state.select}, you should have Route to handle this path.

<Route path="/coffee/:select?" render={() => ( <Coffees isAuthenticated={true}/> )}/>

Note: Be aware of adding exact prop to Route. When you add exact prop it means your path should match exactly with all the provided params.
