Using Routing Components: Route, Switch, Link

  Routing is an essential part of modern web applications. In React, we can use React Router to handle navigation between different views or pages within our application. Components like Route, Switch, and Link are fundamental for working with routes.


Synopsis

  React Router provides a simple way to declare routes and links so that users can navigate between different components. Below, some of the most important components of React Router are explained:

  • Route: Used to declare routes in the application and render the corresponding component.

  • Switch: Ensures that only the first <Route> component that matches the route is rendered.

  • Link: Used to navigate between routes without reloading the page.

Purpose

  Using routing allows a single React page to handle multiple views or components, which facilitates navigation and improves the user experience.

  • Define clear routes in the application using Route.
  • Control which route is rendered with Switch.
  • Navigate between routes without reloading the page using Link.
