I'm developing a single-page ReactJS Web app but I know I'm doing something wrong while defining my routing with React Router V4
.
My problem is as follows: PrivateRoute
in my routes.js
file is not working as expected. That is, I don't know why but my sidebar menu, which is a child component of my main App
, does not work properly: there are a few bugs when I click on the menu item of my PrivateRoute
component (in this case, Page1
). When I say bugs, I mean that when I click on the menu item of a PrivateRoute
, the sidebar menu is misconfigured. The content of the component (Page1
) is rendered but the menu item in the sidebar menu does not stay highlighted as it should be: it is redirected to the first menu item on the list, in this case MainHome
.
Nonetheless, if I change the tag of my Page1
component from PrivateRoute
to ConfigRoute
in my routes.js
file, everything works properly.
A sample from my files index.js
(main), routes.js
, App.js
, and side-menu.js
:
index.js
(main) file:
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
import Routes from './routes';
import store from './store';
ReactDOM.render(
<Provider store={store}>
<Routes/>
</Provider>,
document.getElementById('root')
);
routes.js
file:
import React, { Fragment } from 'react';
import { BrowserRouter, Switch, Route, Redirect } from 'react-router-dom';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import Login from './login';
import App from './App';
import MainHome from './home';
import Page1 from './page1';
const ConfigRoute = ({ component: Component, layout: Layout, ...rest }) => (
<Route {...rest} render={(props) => (
<Layout>
<Component {...props}/>
</Layout>
)}/>
);
const PrivateRoute = ({ component: Component, layout: Layout, auth_status, ...rest }) => (
<Route {...rest} render={(props) => (
<Fragment>
{auth_status === true
? (
<Layout>
<Component {...props}/>
</Layout>
)
: (
<Redirect to={{ pathname: "/", state: { from: props.location } }}/>
)
}
</Fragment>
)}/>
);
const Routes = (props) => (
<Router>
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={Login}/>
<ConfigRoute path="/home" layout={App} component={MainHome}/>
<PrivateRoute path="/page1" auth_status={props.auth_status} layout={App} component={Page1}/>
</Switch>
</Router>
);
const mapStatetoProps = state => ({
auth_status: state.auth.isAuthenticated,
});
export default connect(mapStatetoProps)(Routes);
App.js
file
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Layout } from 'antd';
import SideMenu from './side-menu';
import MainHeader from './main-header';
import MainFooter from './main-footer';
const { Content } = Layout;
class App extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
collapsed: false,
};
}
toggle = () => {
this.setState({
collapsed: !this.state.collapsed,
});
}
render() {
return (
<Layout style={{ minHeight: '100vh' }}>
<SideMenu collapsed={this.state.collapsed}/>
<Layout>
<MainHeader triggerParentUpdate={this.toggle} collapsed={this.state.collapsed}/>
<Content style={{ margin: '24px 16px', padding: 24, background: '#ffffff', minHeight: 280 }}>
{this.props.children}
</Content>
<MainFooter/>
</Layout>
</Layout>
);
}
}
export default App;
side-menu.js
file:
import React from 'react';
import { Layout, Menu, Icon } from 'antd';
import { NavLink } from 'react-router-dom';
const { Sider } = Layout;
const SubMenu = Menu.SubMenu;
class SideMenu extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<Sider
trigger={null}
collapsible
collapsed={this.props.collapsed}
>
<div className="logo"/>
<Menu theme="dark" mode="inline" defaultSelectedKeys={['1']}>
<Menu.Item key="1">
<NavLink to="/home">
<Icon type="home"/>
<span>home</span>
</NavLink>
</Menu.Item>
<Menu.Item key="2">
<NavLink to="/page1">
<Icon type="star-o"/>
<span>page 1</span>
</NavLink>
</Menu.Item>
</Menu>
</Sider>
);
}
}
export default SideMenu;
