javascript - How to use React Router on top of Rails router (not using react-rails gem)?

Question

Now i am making React app on top off Ruby on Rails app (with out react-rails gem) by using browserify-rails to compile js files.

So i tried to us react-router to config router of the app

This is my main.js

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM  from 'react-dom';
import { Router, Route } from 'react-router';
import { browserHistory } from 'react-router';

/*Import Component*/

import DashBoard from './components/dashboard';
import Group from './components/dashboard';

/*
 *
 * Routes
 *
 * */

var routes = (
    <Router history={browserHistory}>
        <Route path="/" component={DashBoard}/>
        <Route path="/group" component={Group}/>
    </Router>
);

ReactDOM.render(routes , document.querySelector('#main'));

But when i go to

http://my.app.dev/group

I got

No route matches [GET] "/group" (From Rails)

So how can i fix this and make React Router on top off Rails router?

Thanks!

If you want to redirect all your request to single page, that's easy:

# config/routes.rb 

root 'dash_board#index'
get '*path', to: 'dash_board#index'

If Rails will render your React components on DashBoard#index page, React's router will intercept it from there.
