React Router - Auth check renders blank page

I'm fairly new to React Router. I'm trying to implement an Auth check when the app runs as answered here: How to implement authenticated routes in React Router 4?. If logged in it should load the dashboard component, if not you should get redirected to the login screen.



The redirect does not work, it's just a blank page.



Any ideas?



export default class App extends React.Component {
state = {
auth: false
};

updateAuth = value => {
this.setState({
auth: value
});
};

render() {
const { auth } = this.state;
console.log(auth);

const PrivateRoute = ({ component: Component, ...rest }) => {
return (
<Route
{...rest}
render={props =>
auth ? (
<Component {...rest} />
) : (
<Redirect
to={{ pathname: "/login", state: { from: props.location } }}
/>
)
}
/>
);
};

return (
<Router>
<div>
<Route path="/login" component={Login} auth={this.updateAuth} />
<PrivateRoute path="/dashboard" component={Dashboard} />
</div>
</Router>
);
}
}

          You still have the path attribute on the PrivateRoute set to /dashboard, if you go to https://qlj5rnnlnq.codesandbox.io/dashboard it'll attempt to load your Dashboard page, but fail because the file on the server doesn't have the .js file extension.



          If you want to go to the dashboard page from the root URL, change the path to:



          <PrivateRoute authed={true} path="/" component={Dashboard} />


          And also change the file extension on the Dashboard file so it becomes Dashboard.js

          • Ah, thanks. I fixed the file extension. Can I just redirect to /dashboard? I just want to app to verify if the user is logged in or not as so go to either /dashboard or /login

          • Sure, that'd work. Just set up a redirect on the root route (i.e. path="/") and have that redirect to /dashboard and it should be picked up by the PrivateRoute you've already set up

          • Ah I probably should have explained what I meant better. Your PrivateRoute was fine and doesn't need to be changed, you can just add another Route in your Router for path="/" and put a redirect in there, I've made some changes here: codesandbox.io/s/2z823x2rrp
