can you guide me why we are using match in server.js, what is the alternative for it in V4

@ashifa454 I don't believe there's a direct equivalent for match on the server. We'll have to use a <StaticRouter /> and pass in context and location, then after calling renderToString() we can check for context.url and handle redirects that way.

I'm not completely sure about errors, but I'm guessing wrapping the whole thing in a try-catch or Promise should suffice for handling render errors.

You can read a bit more about it here: https://reacttraining.com/react-router/web/guides/server-rendering

i am following the official docs and have resolved the match thing, just trying to fix checksum, for server and client
