How to use React Router with Electron?
To use React Router with Electron, we can use HashRouter.
For instance, we write
import { HashRouter, Route } from "react-router-dom";
to import HashRouter.
Then we write
<HashRouter>
<div>
<Route path="/" exact component={Home} />
<Route path="/firstPage" component={FirstPage} />
<Route path="/secondPage" component={SecondPage} />
</div>
</HashRouter>
to wrap HashRouter around our Routes to render them.
HashRouter works because Electron runs our React app in a file-based environment.

It would be great if you could show how to transition from one page to the next. For example, say I have a Button (and I’m using @material-ui for controls) and the button click takes me to another page, what would that look like and how would I set up the onclick handler for that button to take me to another page? Thanks in advance!
