In my application, when I change from one page to another the page is being kept at the same point it was on the previous page. I want to make it go to the top when I swap pages.

The react-router documentation has a solution: https://reactrouter.com/web/guides/scroll-restoration

I implemented it inside a component called ScrollToTop and wrapped my whole application with it, but everything inside it just don't get rendered. I have no idea why.

ScrollToTop:

import { useEffect } from "react";

import { useLocation } from "react-router-dom";



export default function ScrollToTop() {

  const { pathname } = useLocation();



  useEffect(() => {

    window.scrollTo(0, 0);

  }, [pathname]);



  return null;

}

App:

import React from 'react';



import './App.css';



import Layout from './containers/Layout/Layout'

import MainPageConfig from './containers/MainPageConfig/MainPageConfig'



import ScrollToTop from './HOC/ScrollToTop'



import { BrowserRouter, Route, Switch } from 'react-router-dom'





function App() {

  return (

    

      <BrowserRouter >        

        <Layout>

          <ScrollToTop>

            <Switch>

              <Route path="/" exact component={MainPageConfig} />

            </Switch>

          </ScrollToTop>

        </Layout>

      </BrowserRouter>

    

    

  );

}



export default App;

I also tried the suggestions of this post: react-router scroll to top on every transition

In both cases I get the same result.

How could I solve this?

P.S. I also tried to put ScrollToTop outside Layout, but nothing changes.
