Category: Routing and Navigation

Introduction Routing is a fundamental part of modern React applications. Properly managing routes and navigation ensures that users have a smooth and consistent experience while maintaining maintainable code and application performance. As applications grow in complexity, following best practices for routing becomes essential to avoid issues such as code duplication, slow load times, and unprotected…

Introduction In modern web applications, smooth animations and transitions significantly enhance the user experience. React applications, especially single-page applications (SPAs), can leverage route transitions to make navigation feel more fluid and engaging. Adding animations to route changes improves the perception of performance and provides visual continuity when switching between pages. Libraries like Framer Motion or…

Introduction In any web application, it’s common for users to enter URLs that do not match existing routes. Without proper handling, this results in blank pages or broken navigation, which leads to poor user experience. React Router provides tools to handle 404 pages and fallback routes, ensuring users are guided appropriately when they visit unknown…

Introduction As React applications grow in size, the initial bundle can become large, leading to slower page loads and decreased user experience. One of the most effective ways to improve performance is route-based code splitting, which loads only the code necessary for the current route. React provides built-in tools like React.lazy and Suspense that make…

Introduction In modern React applications, navigation is not always triggered by clicking links. Often, developers need to navigate programmatically in response to user actions, such as submitting a form, logging in, completing a process, or dynamically redirecting users based on application logic. React Router provides a useNavigate hook that enables programmatic navigation in functional components.…

Introduction In React applications, not all routes should be accessible to every user. For instance, admin pages should be restricted, and certain content may only be visible to logged-in users. Route guards and redirects help manage access control and navigation flow. React Router provides tools like the Navigate component and conditional rendering to implement route…

Introduction In modern React applications, certain pages or features should be accessible only to authenticated users. Examples include user dashboards, profile pages, or admin panels. Protected routes ensure that unauthorized users cannot access sensitive content by checking their authentication status before rendering a component. React Router, combined with React’s state management, makes it straightforward to…

Query parameters and search strings are essential tools in modern web applications for managing state in the URL. They allow developers to pass additional information in a URL without modifying the route path itself. In React applications using React Router, query parameters are commonly used for filtering data, searching content, and managing pagination or sort…

Introduction Modern web applications often require dynamic routing, where different URLs map to different components or data. React, combined with React Router, provides robust tools for handling dynamic routes and URL parameters. Dynamic routes are essential for scenarios like: This article will cover: Understanding Dynamic Routes Dynamic routes are routes that contain placeholders, allowing parts…

Introduction Routing is an essential part of any single-page application (SPA) built with React. React Router is the de facto library for handling client-side routing in React applications. While simple routes are easy to implement, modern applications often require nested routes, where multiple levels of routes exist within a parent route. Nested routes allow developers…
