Summary

Over the course of this chapter, we explored the basics of React Router and the various Router implementation strategies that you can take when you are just getting started. It is important to have a better means of natural navigation via a browser; this allows for a clean separation of components into their logical use cases and allows the user to use their back button in the browser. It is a better, cleaner separation for users and for developers, and now we have a great working knowledge not just of the library itself, but also a little insight into how it works behind the scenes as well.

In later chapters, we will explore React Router in greater detail, showcasing some of the more advanced functionality. We will be able to take our implementations with React Router from basic applications to the next level and build upon the foundations that we have established in this chapter.
