idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
💡 Key Idea
Routing Maps URLs to Components
One URL, one component — no reload.
Routing in React connects a URL path to a component, so the app swaps views instantly without refreshing the page.
↳ Routing turns a single-page app into a multi-view experience driven by the URL.
📖 Definition
Core Routing Terms
Speak the routing language first.
↳ Router enables routing; Route defines paths; Link navigates; params make paths dynamic.
⚖️ Comparison
Link vs Anchor Tag
Why not just use <a>?
↳ Use <Link> for internal navigation to avoid reloads; use <a> only for external sites.

Routing in React
Routing in React lets a single-page application show different views based on the URL without a full page reload. It maps URL paths to components, enabling navigation, nested layouts, and dynamic parameters in React apps...
Routing maps a URL path to a React component, enabling multiple 'pages' in a single-page app.
The URL acts as the source of truth for what is rendered, not component state.
Client-side navigation updates the URL via the History API without a full page reload.

16 questions laddered from warm-up to topper-level, each with an explanation. A taste:
What does routing primarily map in a React app?
Beginner
A A prop to a child componentB A state variable to a reducerC A URL path to a React componentD A component to a CSS stylesheet
Show answer & explanation
A URL path to a React component
Routing pairs a URL path with a component so the app can show different views for different URLs.
In a routed React app, what acts as the source of truth for what is rendered?
Beginner
A The URL in the address barB The order of imports in the fileC The component's local stateD The browser's cache
Show answer & explanation
The URL in the address bar
Routing flips the usual model: the URL drives rendering, not component state.
Which browser API does client-side routing use to change the URL without a full page reload?
Beginner
A The History APIB The Fetch APIC The Web Storage APID The Geolocation API
Show answer & explanation
The History API
Client-side routing calls methods like `history.pushState` to update the URL while React re-renders.
Which element should you use for in-app navigation to avoid a full page reload?
Beginner
A `<a>`B `<form>`C `<iframe>`D `<Link>`
Show answer & explanation
`<Link>`
`` intercepts the click and navigates client-side; a plain `` triggers a full reload and loses React state.
