Hi @Hugoo. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Based on the knowledge sources provided, it seems that the issue might be related to the way you're trying to import Routes and RouteObject from react-router-dom. In the provided code snippets, the Route component is imported directly from react-router-dom, but there's no mention of Routes or RouteObject. Here's an example of how the Route component is imported and used in the code:

import { Route, Switch, BrowserRouter as Router } from 'react-router-dom'

const router = (
  <Router>
    <Layout>
    <Switch>
      {Object.entries(routes).map(([routeKey, route]) => (
        <Route
          exact
          key={routeKey}
          path={route.to}
          component={route.component}
        />;
      ))}
    </Switch>
    </Layout>
  </Router>
)

import { Route, Switch, BrowserRouter as Router } from 'react-router-dom'

const router = (
  <Router>
    <Layout>
    <Switch>
      {Object.entries(routes).map(([routeKey, route]) => (
        <Route
          exact
          key={routeKey}
          path={route.to}
          component={route.component}
        />;
      ))}
    </Switch>
    </Layout>
  </Router>
)

(Source: Github Issue 1527 (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1527)) If you're using the latest version of react-router-dom, you should be able to import Routes and Route like this:

import { Routes, Route } from 'react-router-dom';

import { Routes, Route } from 'react-router-dom';

However, RouteObject is not a named export from react-router-dom. If you're trying to type your routes, you might want to define your own type or interface based on the properties you're using. If you're still having issues, I would recommend checking the official react-router-dom documentation or their GitHub issues for more specific guidance. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Hugoo, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist: Perhaps try again in 15mins?

@kapa.ai this is my import statement: import { Routes, Route, RouteObject } from 'react-router-dom'; but routes and routeboject just isn't working.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the provided knowledge sources, it seems that there might be a misunderstanding about the available exports from react-router-dom.

@kapa.ai also "element" is underlined in red idk why normally it works. <Route path="/" element={<Dashboard />} /> <Route path="/2dashboard" element={<2Dashboard />} /> <Route path="/generator" element={<Generator />} />

kapa.ai•2d ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the provided knowledge sources, there's no specific mention of the element prop in the Route component from react-router-dom. However, the element prop is a part of the react-router-dom API starting from version 6. Here's how you can use it:

<Route path="/" element={<Dashboard />} />
<Route path="/generator" element={<Generator />} />

<Route path="/" element={<Dashboard />} />
<Route path="/generator" element={<Generator />} />

However, there seems to be an issue with your second route:

<Route path="/2dashboard" element={<2Dashboard />} />

<Route path="/2dashboard" element={<2Dashboard />} />

In JavaScript, variable names (and by extension, component names) cannot start with a number. This is likely why 2Dashboard is underlined in red. You should rename your 2Dashboard component to something that doesn't start with a number, like SecondDashboard:

<Route path="/second-dashboard" element={<SecondDashboard />} />

<Route path="/second-dashboard" element={<SecondDashboard />} />

If you're still having issues, I would recommend checking the official react-router-dom documentation or their GitHub issues for more specific guidance. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Hugoo, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.

pff will try something else for the routing :sadboi: @kapa.ai do you have any advice on making my own routing and navbar? because right now it's not workign and I need a navbar for my dashboard

kapa.ai•2d ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the knowledge sources provided, here are some suggestions on how you can implement your own routing and navbar in a Wasp project: Routing Wasp uses React Router under the hood. You can define your routes in the main.wasp file. Here's an example:

route DashboardRoute {
  / -> DashboardPage, DashboardLayout
    task/:id -> TaskPage
    tasks/ -> TasksPage
      done/ -> DoneTasksPage
    orgs/ -> OrgsPage, OrgsLayout
      myorg/ -> MyOrgPage
      _ -> OrgsVerificationLayout // _ means it is just a virtual grouping to apply the layout. It is not really part of the path.
        verified/ -> VerifiedOrgsPage
        unverified/ -> UnverifiedOrgsPage
}

route DashboardRoute {
  / -> DashboardPage, DashboardLayout
    task/:id -> TaskPage
    tasks/ -> TasksPage
      done/ -> DoneTasksPage
    orgs/ -> OrgsPage, OrgsLayout
      myorg/ -> MyOrgPage
      _ -> OrgsVerificationLayout // _ means it is just a virtual grouping to apply the layout. It is not really part of the path.
        verified/ -> VerifiedOrgsPage
        unverified/ -> UnverifiedOrgsPage
}

(Source: Github Issue 1072 (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1072)) Navbar You can create a custom navbar component and use it in your layout. Here's an example of how you can show additional items on the navbar only if the user is logged in:

import { useAuth } from '@wasp/auth'

const Navbar = () => {
  const { user } = useAuth()

  return (
    <nav>
      <Link to="/">Home</Link>
      {user && <Link to="/dashboard">Dashboard</Link>}
    </nav>
  )
}

import { useAuth } from '@wasp/auth'

const Navbar = () => {
  const { user } = useAuth()

  return (
    <nav>
      <Link to="/">Home</Link>
      {user && <Link to="/dashboard">Dashboard</Link>}
    </nav>
  )
}

In this example, the Dashboard link will only be shown if the user is logged in. You can replace Dashboard with any route you have defined in your main.wasp file.

@kapa.ai looks like wasp is using version 5.3.3 for react-router-dom but I'm using 6+ can I update wasp to use the same version as me?

kapa.ai•2d ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the knowledge sources provided, Wasp currently has some restrictions on the versions of certain packages it uses internally, including react-router-dom. If Wasp is already using a certain dependency with a specific version, you are not allowed to define that same npm dependency yourself while specifying a different version. If you do that, you will get an error message telling you which exact version you have to use for that dependency (source (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/project/dependencies)). However, there is an open issue on the Wasp GitHub repository discussing the possibility of allowing users to specify any version they like for an npm dependency that Wasp already uses. This would be implemented internally via npm aliases (source (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/59)). In the meantime, if you need to use features from react-router-dom version 6+ that are not available in version 5.3.3, you might need to implement your own routing within the components of your Wasp project, as suggested in this Discord thread (source (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1203313045661548604)). Please keep an eye on the open issue for updates on this feature. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Hugoo, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.

Wasp currently uses React Router v5 in 0.14.2 and you can't install the new major version yourself 😄 In 0.15.0 which is coming soon, we'll be bumping the Router to v6!

Hugoo•2d ago

ah okay thanks for the answer! i'll start working with v5 for now

miho•2d ago

Also, we'll be adding more checks for these kinds of issues e.g. Wasp telling you "hey, we are using Router v5" in the CLI 🙂

Hugoo•2d ago

yeah that would be perfect! 🙂 @kapa.ai do you have advice on a react navbar with routing? or can I simply do something with href? because i'm planning on making pages like main.tsx secondpage.tsx and have a navbar on the side switching between the pages.

kapa.ai•2d ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Sure, you can create a navigation bar in React using the Link component from react-router-dom. Here's a basic example:

import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';

const Navbar = () => {
  return (
    <nav>
      <ul>
        <li><Link to="/">Main</Link></li>
        <li><Link to="/secondpage">Second Page</Link></li>
      </ul>
    </nav>
  );
};

import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';

const Navbar = () => {
  return (
    <nav>
      <ul>
        <li><Link to="/">Main</Link></li>
        <li><Link to="/secondpage">Second Page</Link></li>
      </ul>
    </nav>
  );
};

In this example, clicking on the links will navigate to the corresponding routes without causing a page refresh, which is a key advantage of using a single-page application framework like React. You would also need to set up your routes to render the correct page component based on the current URL. You can do this in Wasp by defining your routes in the main.wasp file:

route MainRoute { path: "/", to: MainPage }
page MainPage {
  component: import { MainPage } from "@src/MainPage"
}

route SecondPageRoute { path: "/secondpage", to: SecondPage }
page SecondPage {
  component: import { SecondPage } from "@src/SecondPage"
}

route MainRoute { path: "/", to: MainPage }
page MainPage {
  component: import { MainPage } from "@src/MainPage"
}

route SecondPageRoute { path: "/secondpage", to: SecondPage }
page SecondPage {
  component: import { SecondPage } from "@src/SecondPage"
}

In this example, when a user navigates to /, Wasp will render the MainPage component, and when a user navigates to /secondpage, Wasp will render the SecondPage component. Remember to import and use your Navbar component in the layout of your application so it's included on every page. Please note that this is a basic example and you might need to adjust it based on the specific needs of your application. For more complex scenarios, such as nested routes or dynamic routes, you might need to use more advanced features of react-router-dom.
