React Router is a lightweight library that enhances routing management for React applications, particularly useful in building single-page apps with React and React Native. With the evolution of React, particularly through the introduction of Hooks, React Router has adapted by incorporating Hooks like useParams, useLocation, and useNavigate, which simplify and modernize the process of accessing route parameters, location objects, and navigation functions without relying on the traditional component props pattern. These Hooks allow developers to efficiently manage dynamic routes, fetch location data, and control navigation, making the codebase cleaner and more maintainable. By transitioning from older methods, developers can refactor their components to utilize these Hooks, thereby streamlining logic sharing across components without the need for passing props down the component tree. This shift reflects a broader trend in React development towards using Hooks for a more functional and succinct approach to handling components and their interactions.
