I've created a react application where I have a file that handles the routes. It all works fine useEffect fetches the route changes if we start from the root route, which in this case is "/dashboard", from here he handles the route changes whenever a user clicks in a different menu, the problem is, if we hard refresh the page using the browser refresh feature he fails to fetch anything. Can you fix this code so this doesnt happen?

import React, { useEffect, useCallback } from 'react'
import { setCurrentRouteKey } from '@/Store/base/commonSlice'
import { useSelector, useDispatch } from 'react-redux'
import { useLocation } from 'react-router-dom'

const AppRoute = ({ component: Component, routeKey, ...props }) => {
 const location = useLocation()

 const dispatch = useDispatch()

 const layoutType = useSelector((state) => state.theme.layout.type)
 const previousLayout = useSelector((state) => state.theme.layout.previousType)
 
 const handleLayoutChange = useCallback(() => {
 dispatch(setCurrentRouteKey(routeKey))

 if (props.layout && props.layout !== layoutType) {
 dispatch(setPreviousLayout(layoutType))
 dispatch(setLayout(props.layout))
 }

 if (!props.layout && previousLayout && layoutType !== previousLayout) {
 dispatch(setLayout(previousLayout))
 dispatch(setPreviousLayout(''))
 }
 }, [dispatch, layoutType, previousLayout, props.layout, routeKey]);

Sure, I can help you with that! The reason why your component is not rendering properly after a hard refresh is that the `useEffect` hook does not run when the page is first loaded. In this case, since your hard refresh resets the `location.key`, which is used as a dependency in your `useEffect`, it will not trigger.

A common approach to handle this is to add an extra check in your `useEffect` to see if the `location.key` is null. If it is, it means it's the first render, so you can call your `handleLayoutChange`. Also, you do not need to use `location.key` as a dependency. Here's how you can update your `AppRoute` component:

```javascript
import React, { useEffect, useCallback } from 'react'
import { setCurrentRouteKey } from '@/Store/base/commonSlice'
import { useSelector, useDispatch } from 'react-redux'
import { useLocation } from 'react-router-dom'

const AppRoute = ({ component: Component, routeKey, ...props }) => {
  const location = useLocation()

  const dispatch = useDispatch()

  const layoutType = useSelector((state) => state.theme.layout.type)
  const previousLayout = useSelector((state) => state.theme.layout.previousType)

  const handleLayoutChange = useCallback(() => {
    dispatch(setCurrentRouteKey(routeKey))

    if (props.layout && props.layout !== layoutType) {
      dispatch(setPreviousLayout(layoutType))
      dispatch(setLayout(props.layout))
    }

    if (!props.layout && previousLayout && layoutType !== previousLayout) {
      dispatch(setLayout(previousLayout))
      dispatch(setPreviousLayout(''))
    }
  }, [dispatch, layoutType, previousLayout, props.layout, routeKey])

  useEffect(() => {
    console.log('Layout Changed')
    console.log(Component, routeKey, props, location)

    // If location.key is null, it's the first render
    if (!location.key) {
      handleLayoutChange()
    }
  }, [handleLayoutChange, location.key])

  return <Component {...props} />
}

export default AppRoute
```

This should display a message in the console when the `AppRoute` component is rendered, including the component, routeKey, props, and location. If it's the first render, it should also produce a `handleLayoutChange` call.

The issue you're facing is because on a hard refresh, the React application is reloaded and the state is lost. Therefore, the `handleLayoutChange` function is not being called as the effect is not running. To fix this, you can add a condition in the `useEffect` hook to check if the `routeKey` is present in the URL. If the `routeKey` is present, then call the `handleLayoutChange` function.

Here's the updated code:
```javascript
import React, { useEffect, useCallback } from 'react'
import { setCurrentRouteKey } from '@/Store/base/commonSlice'
import { useSelector, useDispatch } from 'react-redux'
import { useLocation } from 'react-router-dom'

const AppRoute = ({ component: Component, routeKey, ...props }) => {
  const location = useLocation()

  const dispatch = useDispatch()

  const layoutType = useSelector((state) => state.theme.layout.type)
  const previousLayout = useSelector((state) => state.theme.layout.previousType)

  const handleLayoutChange = useCallback(() => {
    dispatch(setCurrentRouteKey(routeKey))

    if (props.layout && props.layout !== layoutType) {
      dispatch(setPreviousLayout(layoutType))
      dispatch(setLayout(props.layout))
    }

    if (!props.layout && previousLayout && layoutType !== previousLayout) {
      dispatch(setLayout(previousLayout))
      dispatch(setPreviousLayout(''))
    }
  }, [dispatch, layoutType, previousLayout, props.layout, routeKey])

  useEffect(() => {
    console.log('layout change')
    console.log(Component, routeKey, props, location)
    if (location.pathname.includes(routeKey)) {
      handleLayoutChange()
    }
  }, [location.pathname, handleLayoutChange, routeKey])

  return <Component {...props} />
}

export default AppRoute
```
In the updated code, the `useEffect` hook checks if the `location.pathname` includes the `routeKey`. If the `routeKey` is present in the URL, it calls the `handleLayoutChange` function. This ensures that the function is called even on a hard refresh.
