Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'history/createBrowserHistory' on Router component

Trying to create a plain router with default history object, but its throwing this error -

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'history/createBrowserHistory'

In the App.js file -

import history from './history'

const App = () => {
    return (
        <div className="ui container" style={{marginTop: '50px'}}>
            <Router history={history}>
                <Header />
                <Routes>
                    <Route path="/" exact element={<StreamList />} />
                </Routes>
            </Router>
        </div>
    );
};

In the history.js file -

import createHistory from 'history/createBrowserHistory'

export default createHistory();

I also tried the solution mentioned in Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'history/createBrowserHistory', but now its not rendering the App component at all, and getting the following error in console

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'pathname') at Router

What could be the reason? I installed a separate history dependency, but its still not working.

I think issue is in a name of history module. There is not a module with a name 'history/createBrowserHistory'. Try that instead:

//history.js
import {createBrowserHistory} from 'history'

export default createBrowserHistory()

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'pathname') at Router

If you use react-router 6 then Router component does not have history in its props. You may try something like that:

<Router location={history.location} navigator={history}>

But, I would recommend to follow that advice - https://reactrouter.com/en/main/routers/router

It seems you've incorrectly imported the createBrowserHistory utility function. The named createBrowserHistory export should be imported.

history.js

import { createBrowserHistory } from 'history';

export default createBrowserHistory();

With the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'pathname') at Router

I suspect you've not imported the correct router component. All the high-level routers (BrowserRouter, HashRouter, etc..) all instantiate and maintain an internal history reference, and the low-level Router has a few required props, none of which are history. Import and use the HistoryRouter and provide your custom history object as a prop.

app.js

import { unstable_HistoryRouter as HistoryRouter } from "react-router-dom";
import history from './history';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div className="ui container" style={{ marginTop: '50px' }}>
      <HistoryRouter history={history}>
        <Header />
        <Routes>
          <Route path="/" element={<StreamList />} />
        </Routes>
      </HistoryRouter>
    </div>
  );
};
