React Router Quick Start Guide

By: Sagar Ganatra

Overview of this book

React Router is the routing library for React, and it can be used in both React Web and React Native applications. This book is a simple way to get started with React Router and harness its full power for your applications. The book starts with an introduction to React Router and teaches you how to create your first route using the React component. You will then learn about configuring your routes, passing parameters, and creating nested routes. You will be introduced to various components in React-Router and learn different configuration options available for these components. You will then see how to use the Redirect and Switch components. For even greater ?exibility, you will learn about BrowserRouter, HashRouter, NativeRouter, and StaticRouter. By the end of the book, you will have set up a project with React Router and make routing configuration work in a server-side rendered React application, a mobile application built with React Native and also understand how Redux and React-Router can be used in the same application.

Redux Bindings with connected-react-router

In previous chapters, we looked at how the component's state can be used to store model data and how React updates the view when the model is updated as a result of a user action. In large applications, this state information should be made available not only to the current component and its children but also to other components in the application tree. There are various state management libraries available that aid in keeping the user interface components in sync with the application state. Redux is one such library that uses a central data store to manage the state of the application. The store serves as a source of truth and the components in the application can rely on the state maintained in the store.

In this chapter, we will take a look at the connected-react-router library, which provides Redux bindings for React Router....
