How to Create Private Routes with Nested Routing in React Router v6

When developing applications with React, managing routes and ensuring users are authenticated can be a challenging yet crucial aspect of the development process. The react-router-dom library provides powerful tools to handle routing efficiently. In this guide, we'll tackle a common scenario: implementing private routes with nested routing using React Router v6.

The Problem

You may find yourself needing a way to secure specific routes in your application while retaining a consistent layout, such as a Sidebar component, across those routes. This was straightforward in React Router v5, but the approach has changed in v6.

In this post, we will explore how to properly structure your routes to keep your Sidebar available for all authenticated routes, ensuring a smooth user experience.

Setting Up Your Project

To demonstrate this solution, let’s assume you have a basic React app setup using react-router-dom version 6.1.1. Your App.tsx file may look somewhat like this initially:

The Issue with Nested Routes

In your Home component, you might want to have multiple routes while maintaining the layout provided by the Sidebar. But if you set it up like you did in version 5, you may encounter routing issues that seem to stem from changes in how React Router v6 handles routes.

The Solution

To manage private routes and nested routing effectively in React Router v6, here’s what you need to do:

Step 1: Update Your Routing Structure

Modify the Page component for better organization and to allow nested routes:

Step 2: Utilize the Outlet Component

The key to maintaining the Sidebar while also having nested routes is to use the Outlet component provided by React Router. This acts as a placeholder for the nested route components inside Home:

Understanding the Changes

RequireAuth Component: This component checks if a user is authenticated. If they are, it renders the child components (including nested routes); if not, it redirects to the login page.

Outlet Component: By incorporating the Outlet, you ensure that the nested components will render correctly within the Home component while still displaying the Sidebar, thus maintaining a consistent layout.

Routes Mapping: Instead of defining the routes directly in the Home, you map through your routes array, dynamically creating the route structure.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily create a structure that allows you to maintain a clean layout with a Sidebar while keeping your routes secured within a private route with React Router v6. This minimal adjustment in your routing structure lets you leverage the full power of the latest React Router features for a better user experience.

Now, you have a robust setup to handle authenticated routes seamlessly, and you can expand on this foundation to build more complex applications. Happy coding!
