Nested routing using protected routes is not working properly

earlier I posted a similar question: Method for checking admin is redirecting me to main page when trying to login

I tried to implement the protected route, inside a protectRoute.tsx:

import { Navigate, Outlet } from "react-router";
import { RootStateOrAny, useSelector } from "react-redux";

interface ProtectRouteProps {}

export default function ProtectRoute(props: ProtectRouteProps) {
  const userSignin = useSelector((state: RootStateOrAny) => state.userSignin);
  const { userInfo } = userSignin;

  return userInfo?.user?.isAdmin ? <Outlet /> : <Navigate to='/' />;
}

I don’t really know what ProtectRouteProps is and what I should put in it. Also in the routing part I did like he told me:

<Route path='/createItem' element={<ProtectRoute />} />
<Route path='/createItem' element={<CreateItem />} />

The problem now is that can’t access CreateItem because is going on the ProtectRoute page that is an empty one. What should i do?

There are no props. This is clear by the usage:

<Route path='/createItem' element={<ProtectRoute />} />

No props are passed to ProtectRoute. You can drop the props object:

import { Navigate, Outlet } from "react-router";
import { RootStateOrAny, useSelector } from "react-redux";

export default function ProtectRoute() {
  const userSignin = useSelector((state: RootStateOrAny) => state.userSignin);
  const { userInfo } = userSignin;

  return userInfo?.user?.isAdmin ? <Outlet /> : <Navigate to='/' replace />;
}

the ProtectRoute page that is an empty one. What should i do?

"Auth" routes are what are called layout routes. They apply some logic, perhaps some styled layout CSS, and render an Outlet for nested Route components to be rendered into. The nested Route components use the path prop for route matching.

Example:

<Route element={<ProtectRoute />}>
  <Route path='/createItem' element={<CreateItem />} />
  ... other protected routes ...
</Route>
