I have downloaded the starting code and when I executed npm install in my terminal I get this:

"PC:\Users\jacma\OneDrive\Desktop\Jake’s Folder\Coding Projects\react_router_v6_lesson_starting_code> npm install

up to date, audited 17 packages in 1s

found 0 vulnerabilities"

Yet node_modules doesn’t appear anywhere in the vscode folders.

Does anyone have any ideas of a solution for this?

Because of compatibility issue this whole routing chapter is totally redundant. Please update your material, it is extremely frustrating and time consuming having to deal with such issues that should be dealt by you.

My pathing: - create folder on desktop - open the folder in vscode - open terminal - npx create-react-app file - cd file - open package.json in vs code - cd file - npm install - npm install react-router-dom@6 --save - npm start.

this loads the standard react app in local host - NOT what it shows on the tutorial - in the src folder in vs code there is no app folder - in App.js there is no const router or return statement. please help

Is there any help anywhere on this site?? Iv posted a few times looking for help, iv seen many many unanswered questions going back 18 months etc. Where is the help and support for students? Its non-existant, FreeCodeCamp is so much better. Im stuck on this out of date React module, unable to complete it, i come on here to get help and see people facing the same issues with 0 responses, 0 help whatsoever. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A PAID SERVICE!!!

I am also wanting help with this particular exercise. I have installed the dependancies as instructed and have a lot of vulnerabilities, including a few critical ones. Surely this means that the material is out of date and needs attention?

I will persevere and see how far I can get with the course in it’s current state.

The lesson is outdated, i managed to run the zip package like in the video by altering the package.json file in the object “scripts” in this manner:
“scripts” : {
“start”: “react-scripts –openssl-legacy-provider start”,
“build”: “react-scripts –openssl-legacy-provider build”,
“test”: “react-scripts test”,
“eject”: “react-scripts eject”
I hope it works for everyone

I had the problems with the compatibility others described. I was able to fix it by updating the dependencies in the package.json to the most recent versions and deleting the .lock file. This was:

 "dependencies": {
    "@reduxjs/toolkit": "^2.2.7",
    "@testing-library/jest-dom": "^6.4.8",
    "@testing-library/react": "^16.0.0",
    "@testing-library/user-event": "^14.5.2",
    "react": "^18.3.1",
    "react-dom": "^18.3.1",
    "react-markdown": "^9.0.1",
    "react-redux": "^9.1.2",
    "react-router-dom": "^6.26.0",
    "react-scripts": "5.0.1",
    "web-vitals": "^4.2.3"
  },
