Useroutes() may be used only in the context of a component.

The error message “useroutes() may be used only in the context of a <router> component.” is typically encountered when you try to use the useRoutes() hook outside of a <Router> component in a React application that utilizes a router library such as React Router.

The useRoutes() hook is meant to be used within the scope of a router component to define routes and their corresponding components. It allows you to conditionally render components based on the current route of your application.

To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that you are using the useRoutes() hook within a <Router> component. Here’s an example of how to use the hook correctly:

<Router>
    <div>
      <Navigation />
      
      <Switch>
        <Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
        <Route path="/about" component={About} />
        <Route path="/contact" component={Contact} />
        <Route path="*" component={NotFound} />
      </Switch>
    </div>
  </Router>

In this example, we have wrapped our main component with the <Router> component provided by React Router. Within the router component, we define a set of routes using the <Route> component. Each route specifies a path and the corresponding component to render when that path matches the current URL.

The <Switch> component is used to ensure that only one route matching the current URL is rendered at a time. The <Navigation> component is not relevant to the issue at hand but is included to demonstrate the overall structure of the application.

By organizing your routes within a <Router> component and using the appropriate useRoutes() hook within the component hierarchy, you should be able to avoid the error message mentioned in your query.
