Nested Routing is not displaying the right Component

Question

I'm trying to display CollectionPage Component from ShopPage component as a nested route that receives collectionId as a param but I get an empty page. These are my components.

Shop Page :

import React from 'react';
import CollectionsOverview from '../../components/collections-overview/collections-overview.component';
import { Route } from 'react-router-dom'
import CollectionPage from '../collection/collection.component';

const ShopPage = ({ match }) => (
    <div className='shop-page'>
        < Route exact path={`${match.path}`} component={CollectionsOverview} />
        <Route exact path={`${match.path}/collectionId`} component={CollectionPage} />
    </div>
)

export default ShopPage;

CollectionPage Component :

import React from 'react';
import CollectionItem from '../../components/collection-item/collection-item.component';
import './collection.styles.scss';


const CollectionPage=({match})=>{
    console.log(match);
    return(
    <div className="collection-page">
        <h2>Collection Page</h2>
    </div>
)}

export default CollectionPage;

yes exactly, Im supposed to get that param dynamically from my redux state — Amine, Sep 03 '20 at 12:12
so you should prefix it by `:` but i think the problem is in `match.path` — Boussadjra Brahim, Sep 03 '20 at 12:28
could you reproduce a simple example [here](https://codesandbox.io/s/nervous-fog-0lfrr?file=/src/App.tsx) — Boussadjra Brahim, Sep 03 '20 at 13:17
here you go [link](https://codesandbox.io/s/elastic-lalande-80j2g?fontsize=14&hidenavigation=1&theme=dark) — Amine, Sep 03 '20 at 15:58
remove `exact` from `` in App.tsx check [this](https://codesandbox.io/s/zealous-curie-pxf40?file=/src/App.tsx) — Boussadjra Brahim, Sep 03 '20 at 16:27

It seems that collectionId is a parameter which should be prefixed by : like :

 <Route exact path={`${match.path}/:collectionId`} component={CollectionPage} />

and remove exact from <Route path="/shop" component={ShopPage} /> in App.tsx check this

I tried that and expected to get whatever I type after the current route as a param in the match object in the CollectionPage component props. But still, the route doesn't even work. – Amine Sep 03 '20 at 11:55
how do you visit that page? – Boussadjra Brahim Sep 03 '20 at 11:57
localhost:3000/shop/hats (for example ) – Amine Sep 03 '20 at 12:03
