React-Router-V6

Installing

npm install history react-router-dom@next

add the following import statement:

import { BrowserRouter,Route,Routes } from 'react-router-dom';

Setting up top-level routes

<BrowserRouter>
  <Routes>
    {/* All routes are nested inside it */}
  </Routes>
</BrowserRouter>

Adding a navigation menu

import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';

<Link to="/">Home</Link>

useNavigate

import { useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';

function App() {
  let navigate = useNavigate();
  function handleClick() {
    navigate('/home')
  }
  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={handleClick}>go home</button>
    </div>
  );
}

<Route path="/" element={<Home />} />

Not found routes

<Route path="/*" element={<NotFoundPage />} />

Route parameters

<Route
  path="products/:id"
  element={<ProductPage />}
/>

Nested layout

Route elements can be nested inside one another:

<Route
  path="products"
  element={<ProductsPage />}
>
  <Route path=":id*" element={<ProductPage />} />
</Route>

handle nested routes

import {
  // rest of the elements/components imported remain same
  Outlet
} from 'react-router-dom';

function ProductPage() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>ProductPage</h2>
      {/* render any matching child */}
      <Outlet />
    </div>
  );
}

URL parameters and dynamic parameters of a route

<Link to={`/Products/${id}`}>
        <h3>{title}</h3>
</Link>

useParams

import {
  // rest of the elements/components imported remain same
  useParams
} from 'react-router-dom';

function ProductPage() {
  const { id } = useParams();
  return (
    <div >
      <h3>{id}</h3>
    </div>
  );
}

Search parameters

let [
  searchParams,
  setSearchParams,
] = useSearchParams();

<form
  onSubmit={(e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    setSearchParams(
      `search=${new FormData(
        e.currentTarget
      ).get("search")}`
    );
  }}
>
  <input
    name="search"
    type="search"
    placeholder="search ..."
  />
</form>

useRoutes

function App() {
  let element = useRoutes([
    // These are the same as the props you provide to <Route>
    { path: '/', element: <Home /> },
    { path: 'dashboard', element: <Dashboard /> },
    { path: 'invoices',
      element: <Invoices />,
      // Nested routes use a children property, which is also
      // the same as <Route>
      children: [
        { path: ':id', element: <Invoice /> },
        { path: 'sent', element: <SentInvoices /> }
      ]
    },
    // Redirects use a redirectTo property to
    { path: 'home', redirectTo: '/' },
    // Not found routes work as you'd expect
    { path: '*', element: <NotFound /> }
  ]);

  // The returned element will render the entire element
  // hierarchy with all the appropriate context it needs
  return element;
}

example

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Welcome</h1>
      <Routes>
        <Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
        <Route path="about" element={<About />} />
      </Routes>
    </div>
  );
}

ReactDOM.render(
  <Router>
    <App />
  </Router>,
  document.getElementById("app")
);

Navigation

import { Routes, Route, Link } from "react-router-dom";

function Home() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Home</h1>
      <nav>
        <Link to="/">Home</Link> | <Link to="about">About</Link>
      </nav>
    </div>
  );
}

function About() {
  return <h1>About</h1>;
}

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Welcome</h1>
      <Routes>
        <Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
        <Route path="about" element={<About />} />
      </Routes>
    </div>
  );
}

Reading URL Parameters

import { Routes, Route, useParams } from "react-router-dom";

function Invoice() {
  let { invoiceId } = useParams();
  return <h1>Invoice {invoiceId}</h1>;
}

function App() {
  return (
    <Routes>
      <Route path="invoices/:invoiceId" element={<Invoice />} />
    </Routes>
  );
}

Ambiguous Paths and Ranking

import { Routes, Route, useParams } from "react-router-dom";

function Invoice() {
  let { invoiceId } = useParams();
  return <h1>Invoice {invoiceId}</h1>;
}

function SentInvoices() {
  return <h1>Sent Invoices</h1>;
}

function App() {
  return (
    <Routes>
      <Route path="invoices/:invoiceId" element={<Invoice />} />
      <Route path="invoices/sent" element={<SentInvoices />} />
    </Routes>
  );
}

Nested Routes

import { Routes, Route, Outlet } from "react-router-dom";

function Invoices() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Invoices</h1>

      {/*
        This element renders the element for the child route, which in
        this case will be either <SentInvoices> or <IndividualInvoice>
      */}
      <Outlet />
    </div>
  );
}

function IndividualInvoice() {
  let { invoiceId } = useParams();
  return <h1>Invoice {invoiceId}</h1>;
}

function SentInvoices() {
  return <h1>Sent Invoices</h1>;
}

function App() {
  return (
    <Routes>
      <Route path="invoices" element={<Invoices />}>
        <Route path=":invoiceId" element={<IndividualInvoice />} />
        <Route path="sent" element={<SentInvoices />} />
      </Route>
    </Routes>
  );
}

Multiple Sets of Routes

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Sidebar>
        <Routes>
          <Route path="/" element={<MainNav />} />
          <Route path="dashboard" element={<DashboardNav />} />
        </Routes>
      </Sidebar>

      <MainContent>
        <Routes>
          <Route path="/" element={<Home />}>
            <Route path="about" element={<About />} />
            <Route path="support" element={<Support />} />
          </Route>
          <Route path="dashboard" element={<Dashboard />}>
            <Route path="invoices" element={<Invoices />} />
            <Route path="team" element={<Team />} />
          </Route>
          <Route path="*" element={<NotFound />} />
        </Routes>
      </MainContent>
    </div>
  );
}

Descendant Routes

function Dashboard() {
  return (
    <div>
      <p>Look, more routes!</p>
      <Routes>
        <Route path="/" element={<DashboardGraphs />} />
        <Route path="invoices" element={<InvoiceList />} />
      </Routes>
    </div>
  );
}

function App() {
  return (
    <Routes>
      <Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
      <Route path="dashboard/*" element={<Dashboard />} />
    </Routes>
  );
}

Navigating Programmatically

// This is a React Router v6 app
import { useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';

function App() {
  const navigate = useNavigate();

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => navigate("/")}>Go 2 pages forward</button>
    </>
  );
}
