We then saw how to modify parts of an app by taking values from parsed URLs. With this knowledge, we were able to restructure our app. We created a skeleton layout with an empty div, in which the right content would then be displayed based on the URL.

We then incorporated the new functionality into our app. We were left with a final exercise that you can expect to go through in real life, which is a colleague handing you some code that you have to figure out and modify yourself.

Now that we have explored many options, layouts, components, and functionality, the next natural step is to deploy our app on a public server, so we can share it with the world.
