How to build a 404 page with react-router-dom v6

Question

I just upgraded to v6beta for react-router-dom because I wanted to organize my routes, but the 404 page is now broken:

export function AllRoutes(props) {

  return(
    <Routes>

      <Route path="/about-us">
        <Route path="contact">     <AboutContact/> </Route>
        <Route path="our-logo">    <AboutLogo/>    </Route>
        <Route path="the-mission"> <AboutMission/> </Route>
        <Route path="the-team">    <AboutTeam/>    </Route>
        <Route path="our-work">    <AboutWork/>    </Route>
      </Route>

      <Route path="/user">
        <Route path="sign-in"> <UserSignIn/> </Route>
        <Route path="sign-up"> <UserSignUp/> </Route>
      </Route>


      <Route path="/">
        <Home/>
      </Route>

      <Route >
        <NotFound/>
      </Route>

    </Routes>
  )
}

So everything works as expected (including the home page) except the not found page, which does not work even when adding path="/*" or path="*"

Any easy solution for this?

Answer 1

<Routes>

  // Use it in this way, and it should work:
  <Route path='*' element={<NotFound />} />

  <Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
  <Route path="/about" element={<About />} />
  <Route path="/settings" element={<Settings />} />
</Routes>

React Router v6 does not use exact attribute to match the exact routes. By default it matches the exact route. To match any value use "*" in the route path.

  <BrowserRouter>
    <div className="App">
      <Header />
    </div>
    <Routes>
      <Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
      <Route path="/about" element={<About />} />
      <Route path="/profile" element={<Profile />} />
      <Route path="*" element={<NotFound />} />
    </Routes>
  </BrowserRouter>    enter code here

Answer 3

react router v6 don't have Switch so you need to declare path='*'

<BrowserRouter> 
  <Routes> 
    <Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
    <Route path="/about" element={<About />} />
    <Route path="/contact" element={<Contact/>} />
    <Route path="*" element={<NotFound/>} />
  </Routes>
</BrowserRouter>

Just you have to do is render a Route with a path of *, and React Router will make sure to only render the element if none of the other Routes match. (if your 404 component name is PageNotFound>

<Route path="*" element={<PageNotFound/>} />

try this is code:

export function AllRoutes(props) {

  return(
    <Routes>
<Switch>
 <Route exact path="/">
        <Home/>
      </Route>
      <Route path="/about-us">
        <Route path="contact">     <AboutContact/> </Route>
        <Route path="our-logo">    <AboutLogo/>    </Route>
        <Route path="the-mission"> <AboutMission/> </Route>
        <Route path="the-team">    <AboutTeam/>    </Route>
        <Route path="our-work">    <AboutWork/>    </Route>
      </Route>

      <Route path="/user">
        <Route path="sign-in"> <UserSignIn/> </Route>
        <Route path="sign-up"> <UserSignUp/> </Route>
      </Route>


     

      <Route  path="*">
        <NotFound/>
      </Route>
</Switch>
    </Routes>
  )
}
