Routing in Reactjs v 16 +

Official Documentation Link: reactrouter.com/docs/en/v6/getting...

Firstly, you have to:

import {BrowserRouter, Routes, Route} from "react-router-dom".

All the elements/components are wrapped in "BrowserRouter" tag. All the pages (for e.g. Home, About US, Contact Us, etc.) are then wrapped in "Routes" tag. They are going to be the routes in which we can navigate. Then the layouts (for e.g. Navbar, Footer, etc.) are wrapped inside the "BrowserRouter" but outside the "Routes" tag. Then all the components/elements inside the "Routes" tag are written as follows:

<Route element={Home} path="/" />

Unlike react-router-dom v5, there is no need to specify exact path for the element.

Example Code:
Suppose, there are 3 pages: Home, AboutUs, ContactUs
and 2 layouts: Navbar, Footer

<BrowserRouter>
    <Navbar/>
    <Routes>
        <Route element={<Home/>} path="/" />
        <Route element={<AboutUs/>} path="/aboutUs" />
        <Route element={<ContactUs/>} path="/contactUs" />
    <Routes>
    <Footer />
<BrowserRouter/>

There are two ways to redirect in react-router-dom v6. First you can redirect at any path and second one is you can redirect from any component/element.

1. Redirecting from a path: First:

import {Navigate} from "react-router-dom"

You just have to add following code to the

<Router path="/redirect" element={<Navigate to="/" replace } />

In this case, when you'll hit the path "/redirect" it will automatically redirect to path "/". If you replace path (i.e. "/redirect") by "*", then any it will redirect to "/" on any path excluding the (i.e. "/home", "/aboutUs", "contactUs") we made.

1. Redirecting from a component/element: This can be achieved by using useNavigation hook. First:

import {useNavigate} from "react-router-dom";

Then initialize the function by:

const navigate = useNavigate();

Then we can use this variable "navigate" to navigate/redirect to any path.
Now simply just write

navigate("/path")

wherever you want to redirect to a certain path.
