1. WHAT IS ROUTING?
Routing means:
Moving between different pages in a React app without reloading the browser
Real-life example:
Think of a website like a house:
/→ Living room (Home page)/about→ Bedroom (About page)/contact→ Kitchen (Contact page)
In normal websites:
Every room change = full house rebuild (page reload)
In React:
You just walk between rooms (NO reload)
Without Routing:
- Page refresh every time
- Slow experience
- Not modern UX
With Routing:
- Instant page switch
- Smooth UI
- Like Netflix / Instagram / Gmail
2. INSTALLATION
Step 1: Create React App (Vite)
Note : Select React as framework and and variant as Javascript
npm create vite@latest react-routing-demo
cd react-routing-demo
npm install
npm run dev
