React Router/6/React Router Config To Use Routes

This codemod helps update code that uses react-router-config to the modern useRoutes API from react-router-dom. It removes renderRoutes from imports and replaces it with useRoutes. Manual adjustments might be required after running the codemod, especially if other customizations exist in your routing logic.

Before

import { BrowserRouter as Router } from "react-router-dom";
import { renderRoutes } from "react-router-config";


const routes = [
  {
    path: "/",
    component: HomePage,
    exact: true,
  },
  {
    path: "/about",
    component: AboutPage,
  },
];


function App() {
  return <Router>{renderRoutes(routes)}</Router>;
}

After

import { BrowserRouter as Router, useRoutes } from "react-router-dom";


const routes = [
  {
    path: "/",
    element: <HomePage />,
  },
  {
    path: "/about",
    element: <AboutPage />,
  },
];


function App() {
  const routing = useRoutes(routes);
  return <Router>{routing}</Router>;
}

This demonstrates how the routing logic is updated to use useRoutes instead of renderRoutes, and routes are adapted from component to element.
