Matched leaf route at location "/" does not have an element. This means it will render an <Outlet /> with a null value by default resulting in an "empty" page.

Problem: Matched leaf route at location "/" does not have an element.

If you've encountered this error when building a React application, it means that one of your components is not rendering anything. If you look at the code, you may see that there is no element being returned from the component. This can happen if you forgot to add a return statement or if you accidentally deleted the element.

Solution

The solution to this problem is simple: make sure your component returns an element to be rendered. If you're unsure which component is causing the problem, you can try removing components one by one until you find the culprit. Alternatively, you can use the developer tools in your browser to help you debug the issue.

If you're using React Router, make sure that your routes are correctly defined and that the components being rendered by the routes are returning an element. If you're using <Switch>, make sure that all of your routes are wrapped in <Route> components.

import React from 'react';

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <div>
      <p>Hello World!</p>
    </div>
  );
}

export default MyComponent;

In this example, MyComponent returns a div with a paragraph that says "Hello World!". Make sure that all of your components are returning something similar to this, and you should be able to avoid the "empty" page error.
