React: ‘Redirect’ is not exported from ‘react-router-dom’

If you are working with React and encounter the error message “‘Redirect’ is not exported from ‘react-router-dom’”, don’t worry! This blog post will guide you through the possible solutions to resolve this issue.

Solution 1: Update react-router-dom

One common reason for this error is using an outdated version of the ‘react-router-dom’ package. To fix this, you need to update the package to the latest version.

npm install react-router-dom@latest

After updating the package, make sure to restart your development server to apply the changes.

Solution 2: Import ‘Redirect’ specifically

If updating the package doesn’t resolve the issue, you can try importing the ‘Redirect’ component specifically from ‘react-router-dom’.

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

By importing only the ‘Redirect’ component, you ensure that you have access to it without any naming conflicts.

Solution 3: Check your React Router version

Another possible reason for this error is using an incompatible version of React Router. Make sure that you are using a version of React Router that is compatible with the ‘Redirect’ component.

npm list react-router-dom

This command will display the installed version of React Router. If the version is not compatible, you can either update or downgrade React Router to a compatible version.

Solution 4: Verify your import statement

Double-check your import statement to ensure that you are importing the ‘Redirect’ component correctly.

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

Make sure that the spelling and capitalization of the import statement match the actual component name.

Conclusion

The error “‘Redirect’ is not exported from ‘react-router-dom’” can be resolved by updating the ‘react-router-dom’ package, importing ‘Redirect’ specifically, checking the React Router version, or verifying the import statement. Try these solutions one by one until the error is resolved.
