I'm currently learning react-router, and then trying to implement it in a sample app.
Here is my code:
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Sample APP</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/css/style.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="main"></div>
</body>
<script src="dist/js/main.js"></script>
</html>
/src/app.jsx
var React = require('react');
var ReactDOM = require('react-dom');
var Routes = require('./routes');
ReactDOM.render(Routes, document.getElementById('main'));
/src/routes.jsx
var React = require('react');
var Router = require('react-router').Router;
var Route = require('react-router').Route;
var Link = require('react-router').Link;
var HelloWorld = require('./components/hello-world');
var NotFound = require('./components/not-found');
var About = require('./components/about');
module.exports = (
<Router>
<Route path="/" component={HelloWorld}>
<Route path="about" component={About}/>
</Route>
</Router>
);
/src/components/hello-world.jsx
var React = require('react');
var Link = require('react-router').Link;
module.exports = React.createClass({
render: function() {
return <div>
<h1>
Hello World !
</h1>
<Link to="/about">About</Link>
</div>
}
});
/src/components/about.jsx
var React = require('react');
module.exports = React.createClass({
render: function() {
return <h1>
About
</h1>
}
});
package.json
{...}

}
I use gulp
to browserify
and reactify
my sources into /dist/js/main.js
When I click on my about
link, url changes from http://localhost:8000/#/?_k=zkmiyh
to http://localhost:8000/#/about?_k=6nhkao
yet the displayed component is still hello-world
.
There is no error displayed on my console.
Is there something missing out?
The ugly solution is to get rid of nested routes like so:
module.exports = (
<Router>
<Route path="/" component={HelloWorld} />
<Route path="/about" component={About} />
</Router>
);
Yet, I figured it out the right way to do via this doc
We need another component (which I called Main
) that will contain the right component to display (i.e. this.props.children
).
I use IndexRoute
to define the default component to display.
Here is the corrected code:
/src/components/main.jsx (new)
var React = require('react');
module.exports = React.createClass({
render: function() {
return <div>
// this is where you can add header
{this.props.children}
// this is where you can add footer
</div>
}
});
/src/routes.jsx (modified)
var React = require('react');
var Router = require('react-router').Router;
var Route = require('react-router').Route;
var IndexRoute = require('react-router').IndexRoute;
var Main = require('./components/main');
var HelloWorld = require('./components/hello-world');
var About = require('./components/about');
module.exports = (
<Router>
<Route path="/" component={Main}>
<IndexRoute component={HelloWorld} />
<Route path="about" component={About} />
</Route>
</Router>
);
