How to Use a Reusable Component as a React Component in react-router-dom

React is widely recognized for its reusable components, allowing developers to craft efficient and maintainable user interfaces. However, when using these components within the routing configuration of a React application—as seen with react-router-dom—questions can arise about how to properly integrate them. In this post, we'll address a common issue where an error message appears when trying to utilize a fully instantiated component. We'll walk you through a step-by-step solution that you can apply in your own projects.

The Problem

When trying to pass a reusable component to the Component prop of a Route, you might encounter the following error:

This typically occurs when you attempt to pass a fully instantiated (rendered) component rather than the component itself. For example, you might have the following route configuration:

Understanding the Solution

1. The Core Concept

Rather than passing a fully instantiated component, you should utilize an anonymous functional component. This enables the router to manage rendering appropriately while still using your reusable component.

2. Implementing the Solution

Here’s how you can modify your route configuration:

Original Route Setup

You're currently using this setup:

Updated Route Setup

Change it to the following approach:

3. Alternative Approach

You might also define an anonymous functional component beforehand, which makes your route configuration look cleaner. Here’s an example:

Why This Works

By creating an anonymous function or a separate component that returns your ImageFirst component, you effectively provide the router with a callable function, which resolves the issue of trying to pass an instantiated component directly. This change aligns with how react-router-dom expects components to be passed within its routes.

Conclusion

Successfully integrating reusable components within react-router-dom can be straightforward once you grasp the difference between instantiated components and functional components. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can enhance your routing structure and elevate the building blocks of your applications.
