I'm new to React and I'm trying to make a basic webpage. I keep running into "Uncaught Error: useRoutes() may be used only in the context of a <Router> component." Can someone please look at my code and tell me where I'm going wrong? I will attach both my App.js, index.js, and the errors I'm getting.
**My App.js is as follows:
import * as React from "react";
import { Routes, Route, Outlet, Link } from "react-router-dom";
export default function App() {
return (
<div>
<h1>Basic Example</h1>
<p>
This example demonstrates some of the core features of React Router
including nested <code><Route></code>s,{" "}
<code><Outlet></code>s, <code><Link></code>s, and using a
"*" route (aka "splat route") to render a "not found" page when someone
visits an unrecognized URL.
</p>
{/* Routes nest inside one another. Nested route paths build upon
parent route paths, and nested route elements render inside
parent route elements. See the note about <Outlet> below. */}
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Layout />}>
<Route index element={<Home />} />
<Route path="about" element={<About />} />
<Route path="dashboard" element={<Dashboard />} />
<Route path="*" element={<NoMatch />} />
</Route>
</Routes>
</div>
);
}
function Layout() {
return (
<div>
{/* A "layout route" is a good place to put markup you want to
share across all the pages on your site, like navigation. */}
<nav>
<ul>
<li>
<Link to="/">Home</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/about">About</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/dashboard">Dashboard</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/nothing-here">Nothing Here</Link>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
<hr />
{/* An <Outlet> renders whatever child route is currently active,
so you can think about this <Outlet> as a placeholder for
the child routes we defined above. */}
<Outlet />
</div>
);
}
function Home() {
return (
<div>
<h2>Home</h2>
</div>
);
}
function About() {
return (
<div>
<h2>About</h2>
</div>
);
}
function Dashboard() {
return (
<div>
<h2>Dashboard</h2>
</div>
);
}
function NoMatch() {
return (
<div>
<h2>Nothing to see here!</h2>
<p>
<Link to="/">Go to the home page</Link>
</p>
</div>
);
}
My index.js is as follows:
import reportWebVitals from "./reportWebVitals";
import { StrictMode } from "react";
import { createRoot } from "react-dom/client";
import App from "./App";
const rootElement = document.getElementById("root");
const root = createRoot(rootElement);
root.render(
<StrictMode>
<App />
</StrictMode>
);
reportWebVitals();
The errors I am receiving are:**
