Enabling Routing in a React App

Once we have installed the necessary dependencies, we can proceed to integrate the library into our application.

To incorporate routing functionality into our application, we must wrap the root component with BrowserRouter from the react-router-dom library. This step is crucial because it initializes the routing system and allows us to manage navigation based on the URL.

Example

• Open the index.js file in your project;
• Import the BrowserRouter component from the react-router-dom library:

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

• Wrap the App component with the BrowserRouter component, as shown below (line 9-11):

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom/client";
import App from "./App/App";
import { BrowserRouter } from "react-router-dom";

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root"));
root.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <BrowserRouter>
      <App />
    </BrowserRouter>
  </React.StrictMode>
);

By wrapping the App component with BrowserRouter, we make routing functionality available in our application.
