React router v4 not working on build

Question

Im having trouble with react-router-dom working in production. While my app header and footer are rendered just fine, the router does not work and I can see the following comments where my routes should appear upon inspecting the html in Chrome devtools. I am getting no console errors.

<div>
  <!-- react-empty: 15 -->
  <!-- react-empty: 16 -->
  <!-- react-empty: 17 -->
  <!-- react-empty: 18 -->
</div>

This is my App.js component file:

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import {BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Link} from 'react-router-dom';

import styled from 'styled-components';

import Header from 'components/Header';
import Footer from 'components/Footer';

import Home from 'containers/Home';
import Select from 'containers/Select';
import Process from 'containers/Process';
import Privacy from 'containers/Privacy';

const AppWrapper = styled.div`
    font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
    width: 100%;
    max-width: calc(768px + 16px * 2);
    margin: 0 auto;
    display: flex;
    height: 100%;
    flex-direction: column;
`;

class App extends Component {
    ...

    render() {
        return (
            <Router>
                <AppWrapper>
                    <Header/>
                        <div>
                            <Route exact path='/' render={({history}) => 
                                <Home infoHandler={this.handleUserInfo} 
                                    imageHandler={this.handleImage} 
                                    history={history}/>
                            }/>
                            <Route exact path='/select' render={({history}) =>
                                <Select info={this.state.userInfo} 
                                    image={this.state.userImage}
                                    selectionHandler={this.handleSelectedImage}
                                    history={history}/>
                            }/>
                            <Route exact path='/process' render={({history}) => 
                                <Process image={this.state.selectedImage} user={this.state.userInfo}/>
                            }/>
                            <Route exact path='privacy' component={Privacy}/>
                        </div>
                    <Footer/>
                </AppWrapper>
            </Router>
        )
    }
}

export default App;

This is my index.js file:

import React from 'react';
import {render} from 'react-dom';
import App from 'containers/App';

render(<App />, document.getElementById('app'));

The router works like a charm in dev mode. Using Webpack for building.

** Home Component:

import React, {Component} from 'react';

import FacebookLogin from 'components/FacebookLogin';
import {Row, Col} from 'react-flexbox-grid';

import styled from 'styled-components';
import palette from 'palette';

const Img = styled.img`
    max-width: 100%;
`;

const H3 = styled.h3`
    color: ${palette.black};
`;

class Home extends Component {
    render() {
        return(
            <Row center='xs'>
                <Col xs={12}>
                    <Img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/julsgc/image/upload/v1491106020/Boletia_995x380__2_fqawa8.png"/>
                </Col>
                <Col xs={12}>
                    <h3> A que Ser Extraordinario te pareces!? </h3>
                </Col>
                <Col xs={12}>
                    <p> Averigualo ahora! </p>
                </Col>
                <Col>
                    <FacebookLogin 
                        infoCallback={this.props.infoHandler}
                        imageCallback={(data) => {
                            this.props.imageHandler(data);
                            this.props.history.push('/select');
                        }}/>
                </Col>
            </Row>
        );
    }
}

Home.propTypes = {
    history: React.PropTypes.object
}

export default Home;

* Update *

App is now working after switching to hash router. Any further comments appreciated since BrowserRouter is the recommended approach according to the docs.

Answer 1

use below code in httacces file

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.html [QSA,L]

if your app not in root folder then use

<BrowserRouter basename="/the-app">
