I thank Codecademy for finally bringing React Router into the lessons.
Yet why v5?
React Router v6 is the latest version and the functions are kinda different from v5 and by learning in v5, you have to go and learn v6 separately since everywhere will be using that version soon.
I really hope Codecademy updates this specific course to the latest version of React Router.
Totally agree. I’m hesitant to start learning something that I’m immediately going to need to unlearn. I will be skipping this content and looking for up-to-date material elsewhere.
6 months on and still no update…
It seems lazy to me to just write a small update that React Router v6 is the way to go, yet the course that is supposed to teach me this doesn’t bother with updating their lessons, and keeps them a mandatory part of finishing the front-end course.
Having to knowingly learn and unlearn something (via a different source) doesn’t seem a very effective strategy to becoming a developer.
I hope the Codecademy team will consider updating these lessons, and try to keep their lessons relevant to changing technologies.
For anyone who’s interested in an extra challenge, try to write this project with React Rooter v6. Reply to this comment if you’re in
I will try my best myself.
Hello everyone
Just like a lot of people here I was disappointed to see that the content for the React Router lesson is outdated ( v5). I took the challenge, and tried to do my best to update the starter code, and the lessons tasks, so it all could be working with React Router version 6. I am attaching link to my project on GitHub. In the README file you can find description of what I did in the project. Please feel free to use it as a guide, or let me know if you think something else could be improved!
A whole year later, still the same outdated lesson. I know MORE MORE MORE content is more exciting than maintaining existing content, but seriously Codecademy, this is getting ridiculous. The earlier parts of this Full Stack course have been educational and up to date, but this entire React section feels stubbornly out of date and unhelpful. If this keeps up I will be asking for my money back and look elsewhere for my learning.
I keep getting this error code: { error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported } when I use npm start. My node is up to date, anybody know the solution?
I agree with everyone else. The content is a year out of date by now. It should have been updated months ago. I followed this tutorial instead on the react router page and will skip the one here for now
Not only is this content one year behind: this lesson comes in in the Front End Developer Path before the React-Redux content, which is critical to understand what is happening under the hood. The App example is so complicated that obscures the graspable mechanics of Reat-Router (which itself does not have quite a friendly documentation).
After two weeks in this React-Router ■■■■ (why does Codecademy censor the word "h e l l "???), I went for this introduction which helped me quite a lot. I will come back to this section after React-Redux to see if I can wrap my head around this mess, but at this point I am frightened about what Is waiting for me at the Redux Codecademy realms…
That seems like what should be in the front end engineer career path instead of whats there now. I’ll try it out once I’m finished with the project I’m working on now. I fount the tutorial in the react router documentation quite confusing and hard to grasp so hopefully this one is better, I like the style of Codecademys lessons so I think it will be
