Below is the solution for react-router-dom v6

1: Create a component ScrollToTop

import { useEffect } from "react";
import { useLocation } from "react-router-dom";

export default function ScrollToTop() {
  const { pathname } = useLocation();

  useEffect(() => {
    // "document.documentElement.scrollTo" is the magic for React Router Dom v6
    document.documentElement.scrollTo({
      top: 0,
      left: 0,
      behavior: "instant", // Optional if you want to skip the scrolling animation
    });
  }, [pathname]);

  return null;
}

2: include the above component (i.e. ScrollToTop) inside BrowserRouter

import React from "react";
import { BrowserRouter } from "react-router-dom";
import ScrollToTop from "path/to/ScrollToTop";

export default function App() {
  return (
  	<BrowserRouter>
    	<ScrollToTop />
    	{/* ... Other Components */}
  	</BrowserRouter>
  )
};
