So, I've been struggling with this for days.
What Works: The application loads just fine on the server-side. routes/index.jsx (which is my server-side routing file) loads the page just fine. The console.log('News'); shows a log of News on both the client javascript console and the server's node logs on page load. I can load any page initially.
The Problem: Once the page loads, and I click on a link, in the header, the address in the URL bar changes, but the UI doesn't update and I don't get a console.log('Home') if I were to navigate to the Home, vice-versa if I were to navigate to News I wouldn't get a console.log('News'); happening on either the client, nor the server.
I have the following files.
Routes/Index.jsx - Server Side Rendering
var router = require('express').Router();
var React = require('react');
var ReactDOMServer = require('react-dom/server');
var StaticRouter = require('react-router-dom').StaticRouter;
var Redux = require('redux');
var Provider = require('react-redux').Provider;
var App = require('../views/app.jsx');
function reducer(state) { return state; }
router.get('*', function(req, res) {
var initialState = { title: 'Home' };
const store = Redux.createStore(reducer, initialState);
var context = {};
var html = ReactDOMServer.renderToString(
<Provider store={store}>
<StaticRouter location={req.url} context={context}>
{require('../views/app.jsx')}
</StaticRouter>
</Provider>
);
var windowprops = store.getState();
windowprops = JSON.stringify(windowprops).replace(/</g, '\\u003c');
var frame = '<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/layout.css" /><title>'+store.getState().title+' | Lunar Realm</title></head><body><div id="root">'+html+'</div><script>window.PROPS = '+windowprops+'</script><script src="/bundle.js"></script></body></html>';
if(context.status >= 400) {
res.status(context.status).send(frame);
} else if (context.url) {
res.redirect(context.status, context.url);
} else {
res.send(frame);
}
});
module.exports = router;
views/app.jsx
var React = require('react');
var ReactRouter = require('react-router-dom');
var Route = ReactRouter.Route;
var Layout = require('../views/Layout.jsx');
var Redirect = ReactRouter.Redirect;
var Switch = ReactRouter.Switch;
module.exports = (
<Layout>
<Switch>
<Route exact path='/' component={require('./Index.jsx')} />
<Route exact path='/news' component={require('./News.jsx')} />
</Switch>
</Layout>
);
Client.JS - For WebPack
var ReactDOM = require('react-dom');
var React = require('react');
var Routes = require('./routes/routes.jsx');
var Redux = require('redux');
var Provider = require('react-redux').Provider;
function reducer(state) { return state; }
var store = Redux.createStore(reducer, window.PROPS);
ReactDOM.render(
<Provider store={store}>
{Routes}
</Provider>, document.getElementById('root')
);
Routes.JSX - For Front-End Routing
var React = require('react');
var ReactRouter = require('react-router-dom');
var BrowserRouter = ReactRouter.BrowserRouter;
var Router = ReactRouter.Router;
var Route = ReactRouter.Route;
var Redirect = ReactRouter.Redirect;
var Switch = ReactRouter.Switch;
var Layout = require('../views/Layout.jsx');
import createHistory from 'history/createBrowserHistory';
var history = createHistory();
module.exports = (
<BrowserRouter>
<Layout>
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={require('../views/Index.jsx')} />
<Route exact path='/news' component={require('../views/News.jsx')} />
<Route component={require('../views/404.jsx')} />
</Switch>
</Layout>
</BrowserRouter>
);
views/News.jsx - A Child of the Layout
var React = require('react');
var News = React.createClass({
render: function(){
console.log('news');
return(
<div id="canvas-section-news" className="canvas-section">
News
</div>
);
}
});
module.exports = News;
Could anyone help me figure out why my UI doesn't update? I should note that I don't get any errors in my node logs nor, the browser's javascript console.
