Rendering a child component via React-router

So I was struggling with this code. I have a component that takes a child as a pillar, and it needs to be the base of all the pages that I post.

Base.jsx:

import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import { Link, NavLink } from 'react-router-dom';

const Base = ({ child }) => (
    <div>
        <div className="top-bar">
            <div className="top-bar-left">
                <NavLink to="/">React App</NavLink>
            </div>

            <div className="top-bar-right">
                <Link to="/login">Log in</Link>
            </div>

        </div>

        {child.render()} // HERE IS THE CHILD TO RENDER

    </div>
);

Base.propTypes = {
    child: PropTypes.object.isRequired
};
export default Base;

      

Then, in app.jsx where lies ReactDom.render()

, I have this:

import React from 'react';
import ReactDom from 'react-dom';
import injectTapEventPlugin from 'react-tap-event-plugin';
import getMuiTheme from 'material-ui/styles/getMuiTheme';
import MuiThemeProvider from 'material-ui/styles/MuiThemeProvider';
import {BrowserRouter, Switch, Route} from 'react-router-dom';
import LoginPag from './components/LoginPag.jsx';
import Base from './components/Base.jsx';
import HomePage from './components/HomePage.jsx';

// for MaterialUI to work properly
injectTapEventPlugin();

const TestLogin = (props) => {
    return (<Base child={LoginPag} />);
};

const TestBase = (props) => {
    return(<Base child={HomePage}/>)
};

ReactDom.render((<BrowserRouter><MuiThemeProvider muiTheme={getMuiTheme()}>
    <div>
    <Switch>
        <Route exact path="/" component={TestBase} />
        <Route exact path="/login" component={TestLogin}/>
    </Switch>
    </div>
    </MuiThemeProvider>
</BrowserRouter>), document.getElementById('react-app'));

      

Finally, HomePage and LoginPag look the same, and here's HomePage.jsx:

import React from 'react';
import { Card, CardTitle } from 'material-ui/Card';

const HomePage = {
    render() {
        return (<Card className="container">
            <CardTitle title="React Application" subtitle="This is the home page." />
        </Card>);
    }
};

export default HomePage;

      

Now my question is: is it possible to get rid of these abstractions TestLogin

and TestBase

?

My ultimate goal is to have something like this:

<Route exact path="/" component={Base(HomePage)} />

, that is, get rid of the abstraction layer and display it directly on one line.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT . Thanks to the Anuragasaurus, I could achieve what I wanted. Can I do this with the class too? The class is declared as class LoginPage extends React.Component

and has a method render()

.

You can use render

to display inline component,



<Route exact path="/" render={()=><Base child={HomePage} />} />
<Route exact path="/login" render={()=><Base child={LoginPage} />}/>

With simple object AND class:

const Base = ({ child }) => (
    <div>
        <div className="top-bar">
            <div className="top-bar-left">
                <NavLink to="/">React App</NavLink>
            </div>

            <div className="top-bar-right">
                <Link to="/login">Log in</Link>
            </div>

        </div>

        {child}

    </div>
);

      

and



const TestLogin = (props) => {
    return (<Base child={<LoginPage/>} />);
};

const TestBase = (props) => {
    return(<Base child={<HomePage}/>/>)
};

      

To answer the whole question:

<Route exact path="/" render={()=><Base child={<HomePage/>} />} />
<Route exact path="/login" render={()=><Base child={<LoginPage/>} />}/>
