React - Catch All (Default) Redirect with React Router 5
Tutorial built with React 17.0.2 and React Router 5.3.0
This is a super quick post to show how to create a catch all (default) redirect to the home page (/) in a React app that uses React Router v5. The redirect runs when a request is made to a route that doesn't exist in the React app.
The way to do it is with a React Router Redirect component that redirects from all (*) routes and redirects to the home (/) route like this: <Redirect from="*" to="/" />.
Example React App Component with Catch All Redirect
Below is an example React component with a few page routes configured and a default catch all redirect to the home page.
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Switch, Redirect } from 'react-router-dom';
import { Home, About, Services, Contact } from 'pages';
export { App };
function App() {
return (
<Router>
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
<Route path="/about" component={About} />
<Route path="/services" component={Services} />
<Route path="/contact" component={Contact} />
{/* default redirect to home page */}
<Redirect from="*" to="/" />
</Switch>
</Router>
);
}
