Nested React Router : hide parent component on showing nested child component
The solution is to raise "/house/flat/:flatId"
to the same level as "/house"
.
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
<Route path="/account" component={Account} />
<Route path="/house/flat/:flatId" render={() => <div>Each Flat details</div>}/>
<Route path="/house" component={House} />
</Switch>
You can achieve it different ways
- define routes in the parent component, I think this is the best option.
<Switch>
<Route path="/account" component={Account} />
<Route path="/house/flat/:flatId" component={FlatComponent}/>
<Route path="/house" component={House} />
<Route path="/" component={Home} />
</Switch>
Note: instead of using exact
, order your routes based on priority, that will make the route to redirect to next matching route if any typo in the route entered
- You can make House as separate route component, and nest the routes inside that component
// Routes
<Switch>
<Route path="/account" component={Account} />
<Route path="/house" component={House} />
<Route path="/" component={Home} />
</Switch>
// House component
class House extends React. Components {
render() {
return (
<Switch>
<Route path="/house/flat/:flatId" render={() => <div>Each Flat details</div>} />}/>
<Route path="/house" component={HouseGridComponent} />
</Switch>
)
}
}
- you can check whether the route has
flatId
and hide the elements, in your House component you can checkthis.props.match.params.flatId
, if theflatId
is set you can hide that House Component.
// House Component
class House extends React. Components {
render() {
return (
<div>
{
!this.props.match.params.flatId?
<h1>House Component</h1>:
null
}
<Route path={`${this.props.match.url}/flat/:flatId`} render={() => <div>Each Flat details</div>} />
</div>
)
}
}
