How to Use React Router v6 for Page Navigation with a Button Click

In the world of web development, creating a seamless navigation experience is essential. If you're using React Router v6 in your application and have run into a common issue—where your button click doesn't direct the user to the intended page—you're not alone. Many developers face this challenge, but fortunately, it’s a straightforward fix. Let's dive into it!

The Problem

When trying to navigate to a different page in a React application using React Router v6, you might discover that clicking your "Continue" button not only shows the MainPage component but also displays the other page component simultaneously. This happens because of how components are structured and where they are placed in your code.

Understanding the Current Structure

Here's a simplified overview of how your current setup looks:

Issue Analysis

Placement of Components: The MainPage component is rendered above the Routes. This means it will always be displayed, regardless of which path is currently being navigated to.

Expected Behavior: We want the MainPage to show only when the user is on the root path (/), and other pages (like Home) to replace it when navigated.

The Solution

To address this issue, we need to ensure that the MainPage is included in our Routes. Here’s how you can adjust your code:

Step 1: Modify Your Routes

Instead of rendering MainPage outside of Routes, make it a separate route by placing it inside:

Step 2: Update the Main Page Component

Your MainPage component should include a button that utilizes Link for navigation:

Step 3: Test Your Application

Now, when you run your application:

The MainPage will serve as the landing page when you visit the root URL (/).

Clicking the "Continue" button will take you to the home page without displaying MainPage.

Bonus Tips

Single Page Load: If you want to ensure that only one page is loaded at a time, consider wrapping your Routes in a <Switch> component (though this is optional in v6).

Proper Pathing: Always make sure that your routes are defined correctly to display the right components based on the URL.

Conclusion

Using React Router v6 effectively can greatly enhance the user experience of your web application. By ensuring that your components are properly structured within your routing system, you can create a smooth navigation flow. Now, with this solution, you can confidently direct users to their desired pages with a simple button click!
