For example , my app has navigation items such as item1, item2, and so on. The items are not fixed which is coming from Content management system. I would like to call some 3rd party API on click of each item and display in the component. So, if the url for item1 is localhost:3000/content/item1.html , so if I click on this URL then I would like to call API in my corresponding single component by passing the url value:mycontent/item1.json
Navigation url can also be localhost:3000/content/item2.html or localhost:3000/content/item1/item2.html and so on. In all cases I want to route to a single component. How can I do it? I looked into online but could not find how to implement this requirement. Any example or online page?
In my express server.js I am doing this:
<ReduxProvider store={ store }>
<StaticRouter context={ context } location={ req.url }>
<Layout />
</StaticRouter>
</ReduxProvider>
now in Layout component:
render() {
return (
<div>
<h1>{ this.state.title }</h1>
<Navigation />
<Switch>
{ routes.map( route => <Route key={ route.path } { ...route } /> ) }
</Switch>
</div>
);
}
In routs.js I want to call MyComponent which matches this url pattern like this: localhost:3000/content/item2.html or localhost:3000/content/item1/item2.html and so on
export default [
{
path: "/",
component: Home,
exact: true,
},
{
path: "/content/*", // Here I want to match pattern of the url starts with /content and call MyComponent with actual URL path
component: MyComponent,
exact: true,
},
];
