React Router: How to implement routing in React

Routing in JavaScript-based single-page applications (SPAs) is crucial for navigation, and React, unlike some other frameworks, does not have a built-in routing system since it is primarily a UI library. However, React Router, an add-on library, provides routing capabilities in React applications. Installation can be done using yarn or npm, and potential conflicts with dependencies like babel jest can be resolved by specifying versions in package.json. To implement routing, BrowserRouter is imported and used to wrap the application, enabling routing features. Routes are defined using the Route component, with properties such as path, component, and exact controlling the behavior of route rendering. The Switch component ensures only the first matching route is rendered, preventing multiple components from rendering inappropriately. Dynamic routing in React allows the use of URL parameters, which can be accessed through the match object in component props, enabling flexible and dynamic data handling. This foundational understanding of React Router allows developers to efficiently implement routing in their React applications.
