fun fact...

Routes..

• tells app what to show/hide
• lets browser history control the app
• lets user navigate around the app

y tho

Example

react router 1,2,3 😑

• Static Routes
  • all routes listed in one "routes" file
• No Nested Routes
  • must be on one route at a time
• Has own lifecycle
  • routes are rendered outside of React's lifecycle
  • SAD!
• example: my routes

React Router v4

React Router v4

• New Philosophy 🤜💥
• Dynamic Routes
• Nested Routes
• Matches React Conventions

🤔🤔 Philosophy 🤔🤔

When we say dynamic routing, we mean routing that takes place as your app is rendering, not in a configuration or convention outside of a running app. That means almost everything is a component in React Router

kids in the future won't even know that at one time there weren't dynamic routers, and they won't know what a dynamic router is because it will just be normal"

- me

Nested Example

• nested routes...
• all logic can be coupled together for a component
• with rr4 it's easier to employ history for user actions
  • example of history / the code
• if you don't want an action in history, use history.replace

  • or: <Link replace={true} to="...">
