This lesson helps you create smooth user navigation and dynamic page control for better app usability.
What is routing?
Routing redirects users to different pages based on their actions or requests. In React, we use an external library known as React router, which enables navigation between views from various components in a React application. This allows the browser URL to be changed while keeping the UI in sync with the URL.
The React router library can be installed into our project by running the following command in our terminal:
Note: We don’t need to install the React router here because it’s already included in the
package.jsonfile of our project, as shown below.
