React Router V5 multiple layouts

If you want to test the project you can go to this or clone the repository

  yarn or npm install

with this router structure the re-rendering that is caused when changing routes is avoided

In this demo we have two layouts:

Admin
Main

The routes

/
/about
/login
/admin
/admin/setting

Example file router


import React from 'react'
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Switch } from 'react-router-dom'

import Main from '../containers/layouts/Main'
import MainAdmin from '../containers/layouts/MainAdmin'

// views
import About from '../containers/views/Main/About'
import Home from '../containers/views/Main/Home'
import Login from '../containers/views/Main/Login'

// admin Views

import Dashboard from '../containers/views/Admin/Dashboard'
import Setting from '../containers/views/Admin/Setting'


export default () => {

  return (
    <Router>
      <Switch>
        <Route path='/login' component={Login} />


        <Route path='/admin/:path?' exact>
          <MainAdmin>
            <Switch>
              <Route path='/admin' exact component={Dashboard} />
              <Route path='/admin/setting' component={Setting} />
            </Switch>
          </MainAdmin>
        </Route>

        <Route>
          <Main>
            <Switch>
              <Route path='/' exact component={Home} />
              <Route path='/about' component={About} />
            </Switch>
          </Main>
        </Route>


      </Switch>
    </Router>
  )

}

structure folder routers

Hi, thanks for your great article. but i have a problem with multiple layout for one route prefix. In this situation react loads both layouts. this is my code:

      <Route path="/admin/:path?">
        <DefaultLayout>
          <Switch>
            <PrivateRoute path="/admin" exact component={DashboardPage} />
            <PrivateRoute path="/admin/category" component={CategoryPage} />
          </Switch>
        </DefaultLayout>

        <AuthLayout>
          <Switch>
            <Route path="/admin/login" component={LoginPage} />
          </Switch>
        </AuthLayout>
      </Route>

How can i fix that?

IMMO the route should not be /admin/login but rather something like /auth/login or just /login

This is because you don't know yet that the person using the login screen is an admin until they have logged on.

Have you tried to lift up ‘Switch’?

Hi, thanks for the great article. I was wondering if you can explain how to pass parameters to the different layouts? i.e if I wanted to have a dynamic view (or header) display inside a layout based on the child route.

Thanks a lot! But the structure in your picture have a wrong word! Just below of the containers word, there is views folder and it must changed to layouts. Thanks again.
