UPDATED react-router-dom v6 - Need to also import Routes. Need to add <Routes> outside of <Route path> and etc:

This video is outdated and doesn't follow the newest react-router-dom v6 guidelines. I was getting the error of:

Error: A <Route> is only ever to be used as the child of <Routes> element, never rendered >directly. Please wrap your <Route> in a <Routes>.

I found out that 'component' is replaced with 'element'. We also need to add 'Routes' to be imported as well from React-Router-Dom, and we need to wrap <Routes> </Routes> around the <Route path> statement. The following code worked for me:

import React from 'react';
import {
  BrowserRouter, 
  Routes,
  Route
} from 'react-router-dom';

// App components
import Home from './Home'


const App = () => (
  <BrowserRouter>
  <div className="container">
  <Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Home /> } />
</Routes>
  </div>
  </BrowserRouter>
);


export default App;
