Example 4: react router tutorial medium

<Route path='/roster'/>
// when the pathname is '/', the path does not match
// when the pathname is '/roster' or '/roster/2', the path matches
// If you only want to match '/roster', then you need to use
// the "exact" prop. The following will match '/roster', but not
// '/roster/2'.
<Route exact path='/roster'/>
// You might find yourself adding the exact prop to most routes.
// In the future (i.e. v5), the exact prop will likely be true by
// default. For more information on that, you can check out this
// GitHub issue:
