I am trying to use react-router-dom
inside my react app and also I am using typescript instead of javascript. The issue here is that I can't import Route inside my component and make it work. I already installed @types/react-router-dom
but for some reason it's still not working as expected.
This is a component that is trying to use react-router-dom
import {BrowserRouter as Router, Route} from "react-router-dom";
const App = () => {
return (
<div>
<Router>
<div>
<Route path="/" exact/>
</div>
</Router>
</div>
)
}
export default App;
And this is the error that I am getting
TypeScript error in /Users/veselinkontic/Projects/givellet/frontend/src/components/index.tsx(9,37):
Type '{ path: string; exact: true; }' is not assignable to type 'IntrinsicAttributes & (PathRouteProps | LayoutRouteProps | IndexRouteProps)'.
Property 'exact' does not exist on type 'IntrinsicAttributes & (PathRouteProps | LayoutRouteProps | IndexRouteProps)'. TS2322
7 | <Router>
8 | <div>
> 9 | <Route path="/" exact/>
| ^
10 | </div>
11 | </Router>
12 | </div>
And this is my package.json file in which you can see that everything is there.

react router v6 doesn't support exact
anymore.
// old - v5
<Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
// new - v6
<Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
As stated in their documentation:
You don't need to use an exact prop on
<Route path="/">
anymore. This is because all paths match exactly by default. If you want to match more of the URL because you have child routes use a trailing * as in<Route path="users/*">
.
