                            </tr>
                        </thead>
                        {student}

You should use BrowserRouter from 'react-router-dom' instead of the Router .

The Router component is intended to be used when working with a custom history, so the history prop is required. To work with the react-router on the web browser, you should use the BrowserRouter from react-router-dom . Just for clarity, here is the Router docs , and the BrowserRouter docs

And your code should be:

import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom';

...

class App extends React. Component{ 
    render(){
        return (
            <BrowserRouter>
                <Route path={"/"} component={EmployeeList} />   
            </BrowserRouter>
        );
    }
}
