Routing in Electron + Create React App

Question

I used create react app and electron for a project. It works fine in dev environment.

dev environment image

However when i build the project and try to run it using electron i get a blank screen. i do not see any errors. i believe this has something to do with routing since electron uses file system.

Image of my route file

How do i build the app and use react routing instead of file system ??

Answer 1

Import HashRouter from react router instead of BrowserRouter. BrowserRouter requires a server to function, electron does not start a webserver instead it works directly with files.
