Please change the parent <Route path="/"> to <Route path="*">-CodePudding

I'm getting this warning in React app:

You rendered descendant <Routes (or called `useRoutes()`) at "/" (under <Route path="/">) 
but the parent route path has no trailing "*". This means if you navigate deeper, 
the parent won't match anymore and therefore the child routes will never render.

Please change the parent <Route path="/"> to <Route path="*">.

Here is my code:

<Router>
        <Routes>
            <Route exact path="/login" element={<Login />} />

            <Route exact path="/" element={<AppBody />} >
              <Route exact path="/add-edit-profile" element={<PageContent />} />
              <Route exact path="/profile-list" element={<ProfileList />} />
              
            </Route>
        </Routes>
    </Router>

AppBody.js:

                <Sidebar/>
                <div className='page-content'>
                    <Header />
                </div>
                
                <Routes>
                    <Route exact path="/add-edit-profile" element={<PageContent />} />
                    <Route exact path="/profile-list" element={<ProfileList />} />
                    
                </Routes>

What I've to change in my code to fix the warning?

CodePudding user response：

It means that AppBody is rendering more deeply nested routes and the path needs to specify the wildcard * character to indicate it can match more generic/nested paths. react-router-dom route paths are always exactly matched, so if sub-routes are rendered the path needs to allow for them. Change path="/" to path="/*".

Since AppBody is rendering the routes and no Outlet for the nested Route components, they can be safely removed.

<Router>
  <Routes>
    <Route exact path="/login" element={<Login />} />
    <Route exact path="/*" element={<AppBody />} > />
  </Routes>
</Router>
