💡 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 component B A state variable to a reducer C A URL path to a React component D 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 bar B The order of imports in the file C The component's local state D 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 API B The Fetch API C The Web Storage API D 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.
