To add routes with React, we use React Router.
To install it, we run
npm install react-router-dom
Then we use it by writing
import React from "react";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Switch, Route, Link } from "react-router-dom";
export default function App() {
return (
<Router>
<div>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>
<Link to="/">Home</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/about">About</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/users">Users</Link>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
<Switch>
<Route path="/about">
<About />
</Route>
<Route path="/users">
<Users />
</Route>
<Route path="/">
<Home />
</Route>
</Switch>
</div>
</Router>
);
}
function Home() {
return <h2>Home</h2>;
}
function About() {
return <h2>About</h2>;
}
function Users() {
return <h2>Users</h2>;
}
to add the Switch
component with the Route
components inside.
The Route
components have the route components nested inside them.
The path
is set to the path that users navigate to to render the component inside.
