Nav-bar consistency error.

[MrJoy]

When going to https://www.reactrails.com/ and clicking Test React Router ('/react-router'), the navigation bar entry for React Router Demo remains selected. When loading https://www.reactrails.com/react-router directly, it is not.

I'm not sure which behavior is the intended one, but the inconsistency suggests a bug.

@MrJoy I agree. Can you take a look and let me know what you find?

If anybody sees this issue, it's a great way to try adding a contribution to this project.

@bluemihai did you want to submit a PR?

@justin808 What is the intended behaviour here?

Current:
Test React Router ('/react-router'), the navigation bar entry for React Router Demo remains selected.

Is this the intended behaviour?
React Router Demo menu item should be active when visiting '/react-router'

@ramrudra

• when you click the link for the home page (/) and then go to click the link for Test React Router ('/react-router'), you see the highlight of react-router stays
• but not if you go to the second directly, say from a bookmark

[ramrudra]

@justin808 That's correct. Is that the intended behaviour? if not what is the intended behaviour?

@justin808 in react router 4, first, need to import withRouter like: import {withRouter} from 'react-router-dom'; then we can get the current path this.props.location.pathname

we can match it and then add 'active' class to respective menu item. thx.

Please link to a PR if you want to suggest some fix.

I'm more eager to get the webpack configuration updated and make a sensible configuration for hot reloading.
