Setting Up React Router
React Router is a powerful routing library for React applications. To use React Router in your project, you need to follow these steps:
- Install React Router: You can install React Router by running the following command in your project directory:
SNIPPET
1npm install react-router-dom
- Import React Router components: After installing React Router, you need to import the necessary components from the
react-router-dom
package. For example:
JAVASCRIPT
1import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Link } from 'react-router-dom';
- Set up routing in your application: Once you have installed React Router and imported the necessary components, you can start setting up routing in your application. You can use the
Router
component as the root component for your application and define routes using theRoute
component. For example:
JAVASCRIPT
1function App() {
2 return (
3 <Router>
4 <div>
5 <Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
6 <Route path="/about" component={About} />
7 </div>
8 </Router>
9 );

These are the basic steps to set up React Router in a React project. Once you have completed these steps, you can start defining routes and rendering components based on the URL in your application.
