There is no website where you find all the information in a single webpage. You want to separate your pages from each other in order to help your users find what they are searching in your site.
That's why you decided to try how React routing works. In this project you will create a blueprint of the layout of a web site with 3 pages, a header and a footer. With this you can create a group of components that you can use other times.
- React
- React routing
- Create reusable components
-
Create a landing page that your user will see firstly when they reach the website. The page is built by a layout that will be the base to all the subpages. The layout contains the header and footer. The header will be our navigation tool, it contains all the 3 links of the web application (home, about, contact). The footer simply contains a phrase describing that the page is nothing more than a example project. The page content (beside the content of the base layout) don't need to be more than a title that describes where are the user.
- When we start the application with the
npm start
command, we see a landing page with a header and footer opening - Whenever we navigate to the route
/
, there is a titleThis is the home page
in the content section of the page - The header contains a link
Home
to the route/
, a linkAbout
to the route/about
and a linkContacts
to the route/contacts
- The footer contains the phrase

-
Create an
About
page for your users. The page is built by the same layout the landing page is using. That means, it contains the same header and the same footer from the landing page. There is a title on the page.- When we navigate to the route
/about
, we see a page showing up with the same header and footer as the landing page uses - The page contains a title
This is the about page
- When we navigate to the route
-
Create a
Contacts
page. The page is built by the same layout the landing page is using. That means, it contains the same header and the same footer from the landing page. There is a title on the page.- When we navigate to the route
/contacts
, we see a page showing up with the same header and footer as the landing page uses - The page contains a title
This is the contacts page
- When we navigate to the route
- You need to use the package
react-router
for the routing (see background materials).
- Start the project by creating a new react app with the command
npx create-react-app <the-application-name>
. - Use the package
react-router
for the routing (see background materials). - Use the
App
to building the routing up and create different components for all the page. - Create a
Layout
component where you can build a basic layout for your pages. You can place you header and footer components in it and with the children property you can build your pages easily with a common layout.
This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.
In the project directory, you can run:
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in your browser.
The page will reload when you make changes.
You may also see any lint errors in the console.
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.
Builds the app for production to the build
folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
See the section about deployment for more information.
Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject
, you can't go back!
If you aren't satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject
at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.
Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject
will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you're on your own.
You don't have to ever use eject
. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn't feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn't be useful if you couldn't customize it when you are ready for it.
