Using react router and have a route definition:
{
path: '/',
element: <Root pageTitle={pageTitle} />,
errorElement: <ErrorPage setPageTitle={updatePageTitle} />,
children: [
...
{
path: '*',
element: <ErrorPage setPageTitle={updatePageTitle} />,
loader: async () => {
throw new Response('Not Found', { status: 404 });
},
},
],
},
This shows me 404 page how I want but without the rest of the root element but also the http status is reported as 200. How do I properly throw it as a 404 and show it inside root element?

React-router is client-side routing. You’re not making an HTTP request, so there’s no status code to set. If you’re doing server-side rendering that’s a different story but as it stands you can’t accomplish what you’re wanting and frankly I’m not sure why you would want to.
Oh I see my mistake, thank you for explaining it!
No problem. Is there something you were trying to accomplish with the 404?
Well coming from a non react web land, i figured if its a non existent page, it should throw a 404 status. It didn’t occur to me to check if its even making a request beyond initial load (which was where i was seeing 200’s from and getting confused)
