Dynamic Routes and URL Parameters

  Dynamic routes allow you to define parameters in the URL to pass data to components.


  In essence, dynamic routes allow a single route definition to handle multiple URLs, where parts of the URL change and those changes are passed as parameters to your application. This is crucial for creating pages that display content based on variable data, such as:


  • User profiles: /users/123, /users/456
  • Product details: /products/sport-shoes, /products/ultralight-laptop
  • Blog articles: /blog/how-to-learn-javascript, /blog/seo-tips
