Reactjs background image showing only on places with components

I am trying to make a full-screen background image for my website but it does not seem to work. My current code only shows the portion of the background image where components are rendered. I have tried to use background-position: fixed in the App.css file, but the background image becomes full screen but I’m not able to scroll, which is even worse. How do I get this to work?

I tried to set min-width: 100vw and min-height: 100vh but now the top of the webpage is still having the same problem and the webpage becomes scrollable.

Below are my files for my App.js and App.css respectively.

class App extends Component {
    componentDidMount() {
        this.props.onAuthCheck();
    }

    render() {
        const auth = this.props.token !== null;
        return (
            <BrowserRouter>
                <div className="App">
                    <Route path="/" exact component={Login} />
                    <Route path="/signup" exact component={SignUp} />
                    <GuardedRoute
                        path="/home"
                        component={Home}
                        auth={auth}
                        exact
                    />

Answer

Try this:

.App {
    background-image: url('./assets/login-bg.jpg');
    min-width: 100%;
    min-height: 100vh;
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center center;
    background-attachment: fixed;
    list-style: none;
}

or you can set the background image to the <body>
