React router - How to redirect to child component if parent component path is entered in url

Question

I would like to redirect my url for e.g to '/questions/1' when I only write /questions

Answer 1

You can render a redirect from one path to the other.

If using react-router-dom v5 use the Redirect component:

<Redirect from="/questions" to="/questions/1" />

If using react-router-dom v6 use the Navigate component:

<Route path="/questions" element={<Navigate to="/questions/1" replace />} />
