React Router: Render new view without page refresh

React Route Load Test

Hello! What I'm trying to do is rework my react-router so the NavLink renders a completely new page on click, instead of rendering at the bottom of the div, as shown in the gif above.

Here's the content of my main App.js component:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import './App.css';
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Switch, Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import Home from './Home.js';
import About from './About.js';
import September from './September.js';
import Trilogy from './Trilogy.js';

class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Router>
        <div>
          <Switch>
            <Route exact path='/' component={Home} />
            <Route path='/about/' component={About} />
            <Route path='/september/' component={September} />
            <Route exact path='/september/trilogy/' component={Trilogy} />
          </Switch>
        </div>
      </Router>
    );
  }
}
export default App;

The Home component's code, which holds the NavBar that's used in the Home Page.

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { BrowserRouter as Router, NavLink, Switch, Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import logo from './logo.png';
import About from './About.js';
import September from './September.js';
import Trilogy from './Trilogy.js';

let NavBar = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h2 className="container2"><NavLink to='/about/'>About</NavLink> </h2>
      <img src={logo} className="somersetLogo" alt="somersetLogo" />
      <h2 className="container" ><a href="mailto:[email protected]" className="mailto">Contact</a></h2>
    </div>
  )
}

class Home extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Router>
        <div>
          <NavBar />
          <Switch>
            <Route exact path='/about/' component={About} />
          </Switch>
        </div>
      </Router>
    )
  }
}

export default Home;

Any idea what went wrong? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

If you are using react router v4 or above it should be something like this.

import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';

<Link to='/about'>
    About
</Link>

Why you are defining router again in Home component which is not needed. Keeping route configuration in App component would be enough. Hope this helps. Happy coding !
