为何react-router可正确处理正则path却同时抛出错误？

Why does React Router's Route throw a PropTypes warning when using a regex path even though path-to-regexp supports it?

Let's break down exactly what's going on here:

Your Use Case & Current Setup
You wanted a component to render on every path except the root (/), so you used a regex ^\/.+$ directly as the path prop for your Route. This regex correctly matches all paths starting with / followed by at least one character (so it excludes the root), and the functionality works as expected—but React Router throws a PropTypes warning.
The Root Cause of the Warning
Even though the underlying library React Router uses for path parsing (path-to-regexp) does support regular expressions as valid inputs, the Route component's PropTypes validation doesn't align with this capability.
The Route component's PropTypes explicitly define the path prop as either a string or undefined. When you pass a RegExp object instead of a string, the PropTypes check fails, triggering the warning you see:
Warning: Failed prop type: Invalid prop path of type regexp supplied to Route, expected string.
In short: the path parsing logic accepts regex, but the component's built-in type safety check doesn't allow it.
A Warning-Free Fix
Instead of passing a regex object, use a string-based path that leverages path-to-regexp's syntax to achieve the same behavior. For excluding the root path and matching all other paths, you can use:
```
<Route exact path="/(.*)" component={() => <div><img src="../../../assets/AndreyBogdanov2.jpg" className="me" /></div>} />
```
This string path gets parsed by path-to-regexp the same way your original regex did, but it complies with the Route component's PropTypes requirement for a string—so no warning is thrown.
