Jump to a specific section in a page -React

Question

I have a footer components with some links which each one of them leads to a specific part of a page, how can I make the link jump to this specific part instead of routing only to that page.

<li><Link to="/about-us/#section1">Our History</Link></li> <li><Link to="/about-us/#section2">Our Mission</Link></li> <li><Link to="/about-us/#section3">Our Values</Link></li> <li><Link to="/about-us/#section4">Become a Distributor</Link></li>

I have tried the previous code using id of the same tag in the target section, but it didn't work. Is there any other way to do that.

Thanks,

Since you are using React Router, it does not have built in hash link support

You can use this library to accomplish instead:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-router-hash-link

import { HashLink } from 'react-router-hash-link';
<HashLink smooth to='/about-us/#section1' > History </HashLink>

your section will need to have the id to match as well

<div id='section1'>Hi</div>
