Prompt:

My Typescript React Material UI app uses react-router-dom for routing The import syntax is: import { Link as RouterLink } from 'react-router-dom';. Convert this list of links to use react-router-dom. The to value will be the Link text prefaced with a forward slash and in lower case Features Testimonials Highlights Pricing FAQs

Response:

Got it! You want to replace Material UI <Link> components that use href="#" with React Router's <Link> using the to prop, keeping the same styling but using RouterLink for routing.

Here’s how you can convert your links:

import { Link as RouterLink } from 'react-router-dom';
import Link from '@mui/material/Link';

<>
  <Link
    component={RouterLink}
    to="/features"
    color="text.secondary"
    variant="body2"
  >
    Features
  </Link>
  <Link
    component={RouterLink}
    to="/testimonials"
    color="text.secondary"
    variant="body2"
  >
    Testimonials
  </Link>
  <Link
    component={RouterLink}
    to="/highlights"
    color="text.secondary"
    variant="body2"
  >
    Highlights
  </Link>
  <Link
    component={RouterLink}
    to="/pricing"
    color="text.secondary"
    variant="body2"
  >
    Pricing
  </Link>
  <Link
    component={RouterLink}
    to="/faqs"
    color="text.secondary"
    variant="body2"
  >
    FAQs
  </Link>
</>

Explanation:

  • Use MUI’s <Link> component but set component={RouterLink} so it renders React Router’s <Link>.
  • Replace href with to using the lowercase and forward slash version of the link text.

If you want, I can help you create a reusable mapping to avoid repetition too!

Prompt:

Same with these: About us Careers Press

Response:

Sure! Here’s the conversion for those links using the same pattern with RouterLink and the lowercase, forward-slash to values:

<Link
  component={RouterLink}
  to="/about us"
  color="text.secondary"
  variant="body2"
>
  About us
</Link>
<Link
  component={RouterLink}
  to="/careers"
  color="text.secondary"
  variant="body2"
>
  Careers
</Link>
<Link
  component={RouterLink}
  to="/press"
  color="text.secondary"
  variant="body2"
>
  Press
</Link>

Note:
React Router URLs typically don’t have spaces. Usually, spaces are replaced by hyphens or camelCase in URLs. So you might want to convert "About us" to /about-us instead of /about us for cleaner URLs. For example:

to="/about-us"

Would you like me to adjust them with hyphens for better URL standards?

Prompt:

Just convert to about

Response:

Got it! Here’s the updated version with "About us" converted to /about (dropping the space and extra word), and the rest as-is:

<Link
  component={RouterLink}
  to="/about"
  color="text.secondary"
  variant="body2"
>
  About us
</Link>
<Link
  component={RouterLink}
  to="/careers"
  color="text.secondary"
  variant="body2"
>
  Careers
</Link>
<Link
  component={RouterLink}
  to="/press"
  color="text.secondary"
  variant="body2"
>
  Press
</Link>

Let me know if you want me to help with anything else!

Prompt:

Give me the import statements for these pages following this format: import Blog from './pages/Blog';. Same naming conventions apply

Response:

Sure! Based on your naming conventions (lowercase and no spaces for the folder/file names), here are the import statements for those pages:

import Features from './pages/Features';
import Testimonials from './pages/Testimonials';
import Highlights from './pages/Highlights';
import Pricing from './pages/Pricing';
import Faqs from './pages/Faqs';

import About from './pages/About';
import Careers from './pages/Careers';
import Press from './pages/Press';

Each import assumes the component files are named exactly like the component, starting with a capital letter, and located inside the pages folder.

If you want me to generate the components or anything else, just say!

Prompt:

Make the page names lower case

Response:

Got it! Here are the imports with lowercase page names in the paths (assuming your folder and filenames are lowercase):

import Features from './pages/features';
import Testimonials from './pages/testimonials';
import Highlights from './pages/highlights';
import Pricing from './pages/pricing';
import Faqs from './pages/faqs';

import About from './pages/about';
import Careers from './pages/careers';
import Press from './pages/press';

The imported component names remain capitalized, but the file/folder names in the paths are lowercase as you requested. Let me know if you want me to help with anything else!

Prompt:

Sorry that was wrong. Undo

Response:

No worries! Here's the original version with capitalized page names in the import paths, just like you initially asked:

import Features from './pages/Features';
import Testimonials from './pages/Testimonials';
import Highlights from './pages/Highlights';
import Pricing from './pages/Pricing';
import Faqs from './pages/Faqs';

import About from './pages/About';
import Careers from './pages/Careers';
import Press from './pages/Press';

If you want to tweak anything else, just let me know!

Prompt:

And now the route config following format: <Route path="/blog" element={} />

Response:

Sure! Here’s the route config for all those pages, following your format:

<Route path="/features" element={<Features />} />
<Route path="/testimonials" element={<Testimonials />} />
<Route path="/highlights" element={<Highlights />} />
<Route path="/pricing" element={<Pricing />} />
<Route path="/faqs" element={<Faqs />} />

<Route path="/about" element={<About />} />
<Route path="/careers" element={<Careers />} />
<Route path="/press" element={<Press />} />

If you want the full <Routes> wrapper or anything else, just ask!

Prompt:

And the same for these 3 links: Terms Privacy Contact

Response:

Here’s the conversion of those 3 links to use React Router’s <Link> with your pattern:

<Link
  component={RouterLink}
  to="/terms"
  color="text.secondary"
  variant="body2"
>
  Terms
</Link>
<Link
  component={RouterLink}
  to="/privacy"
  color="text.secondary"
  variant="body2"
>
  Privacy
</Link>
<Link
  component={RouterLink}
  to="/contact"
  color="text.secondary"
  variant="body2"
>
  Contact
</Link>

And the imports following your original style:

import Terms from './pages/Terms';
import Privacy from './pages/Privacy';
import Contact from './pages/Contact';

And the route config:

<Route path="/terms" element={<Terms />} />
<Route path="/privacy" element={<Privacy />} />
<Route path="/contact" element={<Contact />} />

Anything else?
