The thing I'm trying is a multipage react app where I can navigate between pages(like from the main route '/' to '/whitepape' or 'privacyPolicy'), but I have 4 different routes('/', 'services', 'features', 'contactUs') within the main route '/' which use react-scroll to get the scrolling between those 4 components whose links are added in the Navbar(this part works as expected).
But navigating between pages like replacing entirely all 4 components with whitepaper page or privacyPolicy page, with Navbar and Footer at the same place so that I can navigate back to home.
This is what I’m stuck at any help is appreciated I’m not sure I’m following the right way to implement what I need. I have been using React Navigation in react native which is simple to understand and straightforward, wish react-router was so straight forward instead react-router is a bit confusing.
App.js
function App() {
return (
<div className="App">
<Navbar />
<Switch>
<Route path="/">
<>
<Hero />
<Services />
<Features />
<ContactUs />
</>
</Route>
<Route path="/whitepaper">
<WhitePaper />
</Route>
</Switch>
<Footer />
</div>
)
}
Navbar.js
import { Link } from 'react-scroll'
import { withRouter, Link as RouterLink } from 'react-router-dom'
const menuItems = [
{
menuTitle: 'Home',
pageURL: '/',
id: 'hero'
},
{
menuTitle: 'Services',
pageURL: '/services',
id: 'services'
},
{
menuTitle: 'Features',
pageURL: '/features',
id: 'features'
},
{
menuTitle: 'Contact Us',
pageURL: '/contactUs',
id: 'contactUs'
}
]
const Navbar = ({ history }) => {
const classes = useStyles()
const [anchorEl, setAnchorEl] = useState(null)
const [showNav, setShowNav] = useState(false)
const open = Boolean(anchorEl)
const theme = useTheme()
const isMobile = useMediaQuery(theme.breakpoints.down('sm'))
const [isActive, setIsActive] = useState('/')
useEffect(() => {
setIsActive(history.location.pathname)
window.addEventListener('scroll', () => {
if (window.scrollY > 100) {
setShowNav(true)
} else {
setShowNav(false)
}
})
return () => {
window.removeEventListener('scroll', () => setShowNav(false))
}
})
const handleMenu = event => {
setAnchorEl(event.currentTarget)
}
const handleMenuClick = pageURL => {
history.push(pageURL)
setAnchorEl(null)

path="/whitepaper"isn't reachable/rendering? Are you rendering aRouteraround/aboveAppin the ReactTree so there's a routing context? (I suspect there is since you aren't complaining about errors related to that)Linkwhich works as expected but now I want to replace all these 4 components with a new page i.e. either Whitepaper or PrivacyPolicy page whose link are added in the Footer. I have used Link fromreact-router-domas RouterLink iIsee the change in URL but the whitepaper page is not rendered.
