withRouter' is not exported from 'react-router-dom

Question

After npm i --save react-router-dom and npm install --save with-router I tried to write

import {withRouter} from 'react-router';

But I Get this error Attempted import error: 'withRouter' is not exported from 'react-router'.

import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import { Formik } from 'formik';
import {
  Box,
  Button,
  Card,
  CardContent,
  CardHeader,
  Divider,
 } from '@material-ui/core';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import jsonGR from "src/assets/data/greek.json";
import jsonEN from "src/assets/data/english.json";
import { LAN_EN }  from 'src/actions/types';
import CloudUploadIcon from '@material-ui/icons/CloudUpload';
import AddIcon from '@material-ui/icons/Add';
import axios from 'axios';
import LinearProgress from '@material-ui/core/LinearProgress';
import Typography from '@material-ui/core/Typography';
import { withRouter } from 'react-router'

class ProfileDetails extends React.Component {
//code
}
};
  ProfileDetails.propTypes = {
    className: PropTypes.string
  };

const mapStateToProps = state => {
  return { loginsession: state.loginsession,
    selectedlan: state.selectedlan };
};

export default withRouter(ProfileDetails);

File package.json with dependencies that I make npm install in the project and all the necessary information. I can't understand where is the problem I try with many ways but no one worked

Answer 1

I had the same issue. I fixed it by downgrading react-router and react-router-dom to version 5.2.0.

Just run npm install [email protected] and npm install [email protected]. This should fix the issue with withRouter().

Answer 2

//you can import this and this function

import {
    useLocation,
    useNavigate,
    useParams
  } from "react-router-dom";
  
  function withRouter(Component) {
    function ComponentWithRouterProp(props) {
      let location = useLocation();
      let navigate = useNavigate();
      let params = useParams();
      return (
        <Component
          {...props}
          router={{ location, navigate, params }}
        />
      );
    }
  
    return ComponentWithRouterProp;
  }

Answer 3

From the FAQ page, you do need to have React 16.8+ to be able to use hooks. I'm on 17.0.2, seems to work fine:

https://reactrouter.com/docs/en/v6/faq

import {
  useLocation,
  useNavigate,
  useParams
} from "react-router-dom";

function withRouter(Component) {
  function ComponentWithRouterProp(props) {
    let location = useLocation();
    let navigate = useNavigate();
    let params = useParams();
    return (
      <Component
        {...props}
        router={{ location, navigate, params }}
      />
    );
  }

  return ComponentWithRouterProp;
}

Answer 4

I saw you are using react-router-dom 6 and it is a quite different from the version 5. You have 2 options, downgrade to the version 5 or try implement the new version here is the new documentation documentation

Answer 5

For those who prefer class components to function components the equivalent solution for react-route-dom v6 is:

import { useLocation } from "react-router-dom";

const withLocation = Component => props => {
    const location = useLocation();
  
    return <Component {...props} location={location} />;
  };


export default withLocation( MyComponent)

Same applies to useNavigation and useParams.

I didn't find ready made wrappers in the library at the time being.

Answer 6

Well Since withRouter is removed from react-router v6 you can create your own function.

import { useNavigate } from 'react-router';

export const withRouter = (Component) =>{
    const Wrapper = (props) =>{
        const history = useNavigate();
        return <Component history={history} {...props}/>
    } 
    return Wrapper;
}
