having multiple paths to the same component in react-router-dom v6

i'm trying to have multiple paths/routes in react router v6 to render the same component

using previous versions of react router dom i could just do this and it would work:

<Route exact path={["/", "/home"]}>
     <Home />
</Route>

<Route exact path={"/" | "/home"}>
     <Home />
</Route>

now using v6 i'm trying the same thing but it doesn't work

<Route exact path={["/","/home"]} element={<Homepage />} />

how should i go about this? what changed exactly for it not to work?

full code of App.js where i do the routing

import React from 'react';
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Routes, Route, Link } from 'react-router-dom'
import Navbar from './components/Navbar';
import Footer from './components/Footer';
import Contact from './components/Contact';
import Homepage from './components/Homepage';
import Projects from './components/Projects'

function App() {
  return (<Router>
    <Navbar />
      <Routes>
        <Route exact path={["/","/home"]} element={<Homepage />} />
        <Route exact path="/contact" element={<Contact/>} />
        <Route exact path="/projects" element={<Projects />} />
      </Routes>
    <Footer />
  </Router>);
}

export default App;
react-router reactjs

Apparently in v6, arrays no longer work and you have to do it the old way but using element prop.

Try this:

<Route exact path="/" element={<Homepage />} />
<Route exact path="/home" element={<Homepage />} />

Probably not a good idea to be repeating the code as the accepted answer suggests, easy to break when the call to the components to load changes.

Just map over the array to create the routes:

 {["/", "/home"].map((path, index) => {
        return (
          <Route path={path} element={
              <PageWrapper>
                <Home />
              </PageWrapper>
            }
            key={index}
          />
        );
      })}
