Export ‘withrouter’ (imported as ‘withrouter’) was not found in ‘react-router-dom’

by

The error message “export ‘withRouter’ (imported as ‘withrouter’) was not found in ‘react-router-dom'” indicates that the ‘withRouter’ component you are trying to import from the ‘react-router-dom’ library is not available or not exported correctly. Most likely, you have made a typo in the import statement or the component does not exist in the version of ‘react-router-dom’ you are using.

The ‘withRouter’ higher-order component in ‘react-router-dom’ is used to pass updated match, location, and history objects as props to the wrapped component whenever the route changes. It is commonly used to give access to routing functionality in non-component files or higher up in the component tree without explicitly passing props down manually.

Let’s see an example of how to use ‘withRouter’ correctly:


import React from 'react';
import { withRouter } from 'react-router-dom';

const MyComponent = ({ match, location, history }) => {
// Access match, location, and history objects here
return (

Path: {match.path}

Current Location: {location.pathname}

);
};

export default withRouter(MyComponent);

In this example, we import the ‘withRouter’ higher-order component from ‘react-router-dom’ and wrap our ‘MyComponent’ with it using ‘export default withRouter(MyComponent)’. This allows ‘MyComponent’ to access the updated routing props such as ‘match’, ‘location’, and ‘history’. The ‘match’ object provides information about the current route, the ‘location’ object represents the current URL, and the ‘history’ object allows programmatic navigation.

Make sure the necessary dependencies are installed and the correct versions of ‘react-router-dom’ are being used. Verify that the import statement is correct and that the ‘withRouter’ component is indeed available in the version of ‘react-router-dom’ you are using.
