Setting Up Routes
To enable data passing through links, the initial step involves configuring routes within our application. This typically involves importing necessary modules and defining routes using the Route
component provided by React Router in the main component, often named App.js
.
import React from 'react';
import {
BrowserRouter as Router,
Route,
Link
} from 'react-router-dom';
import Home from './components/Home';
import OtherComponent from './components/OtherComponent';
function MyCustomApp() {
return (
<Router>
<Link to="/other">Go to Other Component</Link>
<Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
<Route path="/other" component={OtherComponent} />
</Router>
);
}
export default MyCustomApp;
Passing Data via Link Component using BrowserRouter in React
It is common for React apps to need data to be passed across components as they are navigated. A well-liked library for managing routing in React apps is called React Router DOM. It offers a method for switching between various React application components and pages while maintaining synchronization between the user interface and the URL.
The <Link> Component in React Router is mainly used for navigation, but it may also be effectively utilized to transfer data between components. Here is step-by-step guidance on how to use Link tag and pass data along with it.
