The code above belongs to any route with the path "/user/:id". This renders fine with no issues, however, if I click on a link that brings me to a different "/user/:id", the path changes, but the component will not rerender. Is it possible to "trick" or force react into rerendering the component?
Here is the code for the routing:
import { Switch, Route, BrowserRouter as Router } from "react-router-dom";
import NavbarFix from './components/NavbarFix';
import AuthRoute from "./utils/AuthRoute";
import AlreadyAuth from "./utils/AlreadyAuth";
import React, { Component } from "react";
import Navbar from './components/Navbar';
import NoMatch from "./pages/NoMatch";
import Submit from './pages/Submit';
import SignUp from "./pages/SignUp";
import LogIn from "./pages/LogIn";
import Posts from "./pages/Posts";
import User from "./pages/User"
// import Test from "./pages/Test";
import "./App.css";
class App extends Component {
render() {
return (
<Router>
<div>
<Navbar />
<NavbarFix />
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={AuthRoute(Posts)} />
<Route exact path="/submit" component={AuthRoute(Submit)} />
<Route exact path="/signup" component={AlreadyAuth(SignUp)} />
<Route exact path="/login" component={AlreadyAuth(LogIn)} />
<Route exact path="/user/:id" component={AuthRoute(User)} />
<Route exact path="/item/:itemId" component={AuthRoute(User)} />
<Route component={NoMatch} />
</Switch>
</div>
</Router>
);
}
}
export default App;
