rest-countries-api-with-color-theme-switcher

Hi everyone, I completed my REST-COUNTRIES-API challenge. I faced difficulty when I go to a country details page, if I hit refresh, the site crashes with a 404 status code.

After some debugging and research I found that it was related to client-side routing, and there are multiple ways to deal with that issue, one of which is to use hash-router instead of browser-router, but that's not recommended.

The way I chose to take is Netlify specific, add a _redirects file to the public folder in my react app that redirects all the routes to the index.html. You can find more details in this article: https://dev.to/dance2die/page-not-found-on-netlify-with-react-router-58mc More information about redirects on Netlify's documentation: https://docs.netlify.com/routing/redirects/

Happy coding!!
