I built it to help me understand how to use React Router V6.
- React Router is the most popular way to add page routing in React Apps. It is used very frequently in React projects.
npm install react-router-dom@6
- App.js
import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";
function App() {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<div>home page</div>} />
<Route
path="testing"
element={
<div>
<h2>testing </h2>
</div>
}
/>
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
);
}
export default App;
- App.js
import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";
import Home from "./pages/Home";
import About from "./pages/About";
import Products from "./pages/Products";
function App() {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
<Route path="about" element={<About />} />
<Route path="products" element={<Products />} />
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
);
}
export default App;
- Home.js, About.js
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
const Home = () => {
return (
<div>
<h2>Home Page</h2>
<Link to='/about' className='btn'>
About
</Link>
<a href="">
</div>
);
};
export default Home;
- App.js
function App() {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
<Route path="about" element={<About />} />
<Route path="products" element={<Products />} />
<Route path="*" element={<Error />} />
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
);
}
- Error.js
import { Link } from "react-router-dom";
const Error = () => {
return (
<section className="section">
<h2>404</h2>
<p>page not found</p>
<Link to="/">back home</Link>
</section>
);
};
export default Error;

will refactor few times

App.js
function App() {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Home />}>
<Route path="about" element={<About />} />
<Route path="products" element={<Products />} />
<Route path="*" element={<Error />} />
</Route>
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
);
}
- Home.js
import { Link, Outlet } from "react-router-dom";
const Home = () => {
return (
<section className="section">
<h2>Home Page</h2>
<Outlet />
</section>
);
};
export default Home;
- Navbar.js
import { Link } from "react-router-dom";
const Navbar = () => {
return (
<nav className="navbar">
<Link to="/">Home</Link>
<Link to="/about">About</Link>
<Link to="/products">Products</Link>
</nav>
);
};
export default Navbar;
- Home.js
import { Link, Outlet } from "react-router-dom";
import Navbar from "../components/Navbar";
const Home = () => {
return (
<>
<Navbar />
<section className="section">
<Outlet />
</section>
</>
);
};
export default Home;
-
Index routes render in the parent routes outlet at the parent route's path.
-
Index routes match when a parent route matches but none of the other children match.
-
Index routes are the default child route for a parent route.
-
Index routes render when the user hasn't clicked one of the items in a navigation list yet.
-
copy Home.js content
-
SharedLayout.js
import { Link, Outlet } from "react-router-dom";
import Navbar from "../components/Navbar";
const SharedLayout = () => {

<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<SharedLayout />}>
<Route index element={<Home />} />
<Route path="about" element={<About />} />
<Route path="products" element={<Products />} />
<Route path="*" element={<Error />} />
</Route>
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
);
}
- StyledNavbar.js
import { NavLink } from "react-router-dom";
<nav className="navbar">
<NavLink

style={({ isActive }) => {
return { color: isActive ? "red" : "grey" };
}}

</nav>;
- StyledNavbar.js
