Introduction to React Router
Explore how React Router enables seamless navigation and URL management in React apps. Understand its benefits over manual routing, and learn why React Router is essential for building scalable single-page applications.
React applications often require navigation between different pages or views, such as “Home,” “About,” “Projects,” or “Contact” pages. Traditionally, this is done by manually managing state or creating multiple HTML files. However, as applications grow, this approach becomes cumbersome and lacks essential features, such as seamless navigation and URL-based routing. Let’s explore a scenario to build a small web application using conventional web development techniques and understand the challenges it presents. We’ll then solve the same scenario using React Router to highlight its benefits.
