Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 19,470 PointsThe other nav link such as about, teachers and courses do not remain highlighted even after clicking on them
When I click on the on the nav link I mentioned the links should stay blue but they are not, this is my code
import React from 'react';
import { Route, NavLink } from 'react-router-dom'; //import Route to use route path and NavLink to link the routes
//Add components from courses folder in order to have access to them
import HTML from './courses/HTML';
import CSS from './courses/CSS';
import JavaScript from './courses/JavaScript';
const Courses = () => (
<div className="main-content courses">
<div className="course-header group">
<h2>Courses</h2>
<ul className="course-nav">
{/*use nav link to redirect */}
<li><NavLink to='/courses/html'>HTML</NavLink></li>
<li><NavLink to='/courses/css'>CSS</NavLink></li>
<li><NavLink to='/courses/javascript'>JavaScript</NavLink></li>
</ul>
</div>
{/*Use routes to define routes for courses*/}
<Route path="/courses/html" component={HTML} />
<Route path="/courses/css" component={CSS} />
<Route path="/courses/javascript" component={JavaScript} />
</div>
);
export default Courses;

Once you leave any one of them, their active state changes to the NavLink matching the current URL.
