React Router v6 - Catch All (Default) Redirect in React
Tutorial built with React 18.2 and React Router 6.8.1
This is a super quick post to show how to create a catch all (default) redirect to the home page (/) in a React app using React Router v6. 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 Route component that matches all (*) routes and renders a Navigate element that redirects to the home route ("/") like this: <Route path="*" element={<Navigate to="/" />} />.
Example React Component with Catch All Redirect
Below is an example React component that uses React Router v6, it has a few page routes configured and a default catch all redirect to the home page.
import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route, Navigate } from 'react-router-dom';
import { Home, About, Services, Contact } from 'pages';
export { App };
function App() {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
<Route path="about" element={<About />} />
<Route path="services" element={<Services />} />
<Route path="contact" element={<Contact />} />
{/* default redirect to home page */}
<Route path="*" element={<Navigate to="/" />} />
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
);
}
