How do I use react-router-bootstrap to link to another react ponent? Do I need to set up my routes with react-router first? I don't know how to use react-router-bootstrap's LinkContainer to route a NavItem to a separate react ponent.

import ReactRouterBootstrap, { LinkContainer } from 'react-router-bootstrap';
const propTypes = {

class App extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
cards: [],
}
this.addNewCardHandler = this.addNewCardHandler.bind(this);
this.deleteCardHandler = this.deleteCardHandler.bind(this);
this.saveButtonHandler = this.saveButtonHandler.bind(this);
}
ponentDidMount() {
this.getAllCards();
}
getAllCards() {
const url = '/api/cards';
request.get(url)
.end((err,res) => {
if (err) {
console.log(`err: ${err}`);
}
this.setState({

Reset to default 12I just faced the same problem here. Yes you do have to set up react-router as if you were not using react-router-bootstrap. For your application (guessing you just want same level paths with the NavItens u set) I think it will be something like this (assuming that you're rendering your app's ponent in a div with id="app"):
ReactDOM.render((
<Router history={browserHistory}>
<Route path="/" ponent={App}>
<IndexRoute ponent={Home} />
<Route path="/Filter" ponent={Filter} />
<Route path="/Signup" ponent={Signup} />
<Route path="/Login" ponent={Login} />
<Route path="/Profile" ponent={Profile} />
<Route path="/Search" ponent={Search} />
<Route path="/AddNewCard" ponent={AddNewCard} />
<Route path="/SavedCard" ponent={SavedCard} />
</Route>
</Router>
), document.getElementById('app'))
You have to put react-bootstrap's NavItens inside react-router-bootstrap's LinkContainers. If you have an index link you should use IndexLinkContainers instead. But if you want a link in your Navbar.Brand(which is your case), the best solution I found was to replace the Navbar.Brand for a react-router Link with className='nav-bar-brand'.
This is how I guess your solution should be:
<Navbar inverse collapseOnSelect>
<Navbar.Header>
<Link to='#' className='navbar-brand'>BIZIT</Link>
</Navbar.Header>
<Navbar.Collapse>
<Nav>
<LinkContainer to="Filter">
<NavItem eventKey={1}>Filter</NavItem>
</LinkContainer>
<LinkContainer to="Search">
<NavItem eventKey={2}>Search</NavItem>
</LinkContainer>
</Nav>
<Nav pullRight>
<LinkContainer to="/Signup">
<NavItem eventKey={1}>Sign Up</NavItem>
</LinkContainer>
<LinkContainer to="/Login">
<NavItem eventKey={2}>Login</NavItem>
</LinkContainer>
</Nav>
</Navbar.Collapse>
</Navbar>
<CardList
saveButtonHandler={this.saveButtonHandler}
cards={this.state.cards}
/>
<Navbar inverse collapseOnSelect fixedBottom>
<Navbar.Collapse>
<Nav>
<LinkContainer to="/">
<NavItem eventKey={4}>Home</NavItem>
</LinkContainer>
<LinkContainer to="/Profile">
<NavItem eventKey={5}>Profile</NavItem>
</LinkContainer>
<LinkContainer to="/AddNewCard">
<NavItem eventKey={6}>Add Card</NavItem>
</LinkContainer>
<LinkContainer to="/SavedCard">
<NavItem eventKey={7}>Saved Cards</NavItem>
</LinkContainer>
</Nav>
</Navbar.Collapse>
</Navbar>
If you don't need react-router-bootstrap, you may use
import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";
...
ReactDOM.render(
<BrowserRouter>
<Navigation />
<Routes>
<Route path="/path" element={<Path_Function />} />
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>,
document.getElementById('root')
);
While inside navigation
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
import { Container, Nav, Navbar } from 'react-bootstrap';
import { Outlet, NavLink } from 'react-router-dom';
...
<Nav.Link as={NavLink} to="/path">Path Name</Nav.Link>
...
Please be aware that every Link including NavLinks and LinksContainers must be a child to Router ponent. My problem was in placing the nav outside the router as a standalone ponent.
