React Router allows for partial matching of paths, which can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior if not managed correctly.
What is Partial Matching?
Partial matching means that a route will match any path that starts with the specified path.
Example: a route defined for /about will match both /about and /about/team.
How to Control Partial Matching
To prevent partial matching, use the exact prop:
<Route exact path="/about" component={About} />
