Fixing the React Router Error in Your ECommerce Project

If you're developing an ECommerce application using React and Next.js, navigating between different pages smoothly is essential. However, you might encounter the frustrating error: Module not found: Can't resolve 'react-router-dom'. This error indicates that your project is unable to locate the React Router library, which is crucial for handling navigation. Let’s dive into the problem and provide a step-by-step solution.

Understanding the Issue

The issue arises when you’re trying to import useHistory from the react-router-dom package. The aim is to navigate from one page to another in your Navbar, but instead of functioning as intended, you receive an error message.

Here’s a brief overview of the structure:

Your Navbar contains links such as Home, Groups, and Shopping.

Clicking these links should redirect you to the respective pages.

However, the use of useHistory from react-router-dom leads to a module resolution error.

Moving Forward: The Solution

1. Use the Correct Router Import

Unlike standard React applications, when you're working with Next.js, you should utilize its built-in routing capabilities. Instead of importing from react-router-dom, you can utilize the useRouter hook provided by Next.js.

Here’s how to adjust your imports:

4. Verify Your Package.json

Ensure your package.json does NOT have a reference to react-router-dom. Since you're using Next.js, you don't need it. Check your dependencies for an entry like this:

If you have react-router-dom in your dependencies, it’s best to remove it from your project to avoid confusion.

This method will streamline your navigation and enhance your app's functionality without the hassle.
