Routing is not working in Reactjs + ES6

Question

When I am clicking on the link "cake" I am getting the error the path is not matched or server is not able to find.

Here is my code for 3 files - Router, Navigation and detail components

import { browserHistory } from 'react-router';

import Base from './Base.jsx';
import ListDetail from './ListDetail.jsx';

let Routes = 

        <Router history={browserHistory}>
            <Route path="/" component={Base} >
                <Route path="/cake" component= {ListDetail}></Route>

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import Routes from './router.jsx';

ReactDOM.render(Routes, document.getElementById('app'));

Thanks for the help!!

The render function of your base.jsx file should be something like this :

render(){
    return(
        <div>
        <Header name="My Recipe Book"/>
        <section id="content">
        <FormElement />
        <ContentList />
         {this.props.children}
        </section>
        <Footer />
        </div>
    )
}

Route should be

<Route path="cake" component= {ListDetail} />

And the link :

<Link to="cake">Cakes</Link>

You need to render the routes somewhere.

...A single component to be rendered when the route matches the URL. It can be rendered by the parent route component with this.props.children. Read this.

const routes = (
  <Route path="/" component={App}>
    <Route path="groups" component={Groups} />
    <Route path="users" component={Users} />
  </Route>
)

class App extends React.Component {
  render () {
    return (
      <div>
        {/* this will be either <Users> or <Groups> */}
        {this.props.children}
      </div>
    )
  }
}
