Router: How to return 404 http status code with SSR?

[zsolt-dev]

Hello everyone!

I like reach router much better than react router dom. After reading the documentation and searching for issues I could not find a way to return http error code 404 from the "default" route.

It is a very important feature to have and should be documented in the SSR section.

Thank you

Not just SSR, I'm interested on client as well. Thanks!

Same here for client rendering, it's so essential feature.

There is info in the tutorial on this on the official router page. Am on mobile, so difficult to search but go over initial few examples and it’s there.

I can confirm, the browser receives a '200 OK' response. @mtliendo, it's true the docs state:

When no children match, a route component with a default prop will render. Think of this like a 404 on the server.

This method works exactly as far as having a default page when a route is not found, however, I feel, IMHO, that for a _true_ 404 error, the browser should be receiving a 404 status code as well... Perhaps this comes down to React application philosophy?
