Hello Team can someone please help in this the localhost:3000 unable to connect after i add that article path
here is my code in app.js
import React from “react”;
import About from “…/components/About”;
import SignUp from “…/components/SignUp”;
import Articles from “…/components/Articles”;
import Article from “…/components/Article”;
import Categories from “…/components/Categories”;
import Category from “…/components/Category”;
import Author from “…/components/Author”;
import Profile from “…/components/Profile”;
import EditProfileForm from “…/components/EditProfileForm”;
import Root from “…/components/Root”;

import { Route,RouterProvider,createBrowserRouter,createRoutesFromElements} from ‘react-router-dom’;

import “./App.css”;

const router = createBrowserRouter(createRoutesFromElements(
/* Wrap this Root Route to create Router here */
<Route path=“/” element={ }>
<Route path=“about” element ={}/>
<Route path="articles"element ={}/>
<Route path=“article/:title” element ={}/>
<Route path=“authors/:name” element={}/>
<Route path="categories"element ={}/>
<Route path="sign-up"element ={}/>
<Route path="profile"element ={}/>

))
function App() {
return (
<>

</>
);
}

export default App;


this is what it comes

import React from "react";
import { useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';
export default function Footer() {

  // get the navigate function
  const navigate = useNavigate();
  const goBack = () => {
    // imperatively redirect back
    navigate(-1);
  }

  const goForward = () => {
    // imperatively redirect forward
    navigate(1);
  }

  return (
    <footer>
      <button onClick={goBack}>Back</button>
      <button onClick={goForward}>Forward</button>
    </footer>
  );
}

Why navigate(-1) and navigate(1) may not be working
