🚀 Elevate Your React Router Skills: The Ultimate Nuggets 🌐

With the following content understand the basic use of some of the major methods or hooks in React Router.

1️⃣ BrowserRouter for Seamless Routing: Start your journey with React Router by creating a BrowserRouter. It's the foundation for defining your application's routes, ensuring smooth navigation.

2️⃣ Stylish Navigation Links: Make your links stand out with elegance! Use the <NavLink> component and customize the 'isActive' class to highlight active links for an enhanced user experience.

3️⃣ Error Handling with useRouteError: Don't let errors go unnoticed. Employ useRouteError to capture and manage errors that may occur during route changes or navigation.

4️⃣ Monitor Navigation State with useNavigation: Stay in control of your navigation flow. Utilize useNavigation to track state changes, whether it's in a 'loading,' 'idle,' or 'submitting' state, and execute corresponding actions.

5️⃣ Effortless Routing with useNavigate: Master the art of route-switching using useNavigate. With a simple navigate('/home'), you can smoothly transition between different parts of your application.

6️⃣ Data Handling with Response(): When loading routes, stay organized with Response(). This function lets you access both data and status values, providing insights into the loading process.

7️⃣ Data Fetching Made Easy: Use useLoaderData() to effortlessly fetch data from your loader functions for the current route. And don't forget about useRouteLoaderData("id") to efficiently pass data to child routes.

8️⃣ Retrieve Action Data with useActionData: Bring back data from action functions to enhance your form components. useActionData() ensures that your forms stay up-to-date with the latest information.

9️⃣ Event Handling with useFetcher: Keep your users engaged without leaving the current page. useFetcher() lets you trigger actions or events while staying put.

🔄 Defer Loading with Defer and : Patience pays off! Use defer({}) and <Await> to gracefully defer component rendering while you wait for data to load, improving the user experience.

🛠️ Suspense for Fallback UI: Embrace suspense with React Router! When waiting for events to load, employ Suspense to display a fallback UI, keeping your users engaged and informed.
