"Editor's note: This guide was updated by Amazing Enyichi Agu in January 2026 to reflect React Router v7. The update refreshes the setup and examples (Vite + React + TypeScript), switches to the react-router package, introduces React Router's modes (declarative, data, framework), and revises the routing, nested routes, params, useRoutes, and route protection sections to match current v7 patterns. Single-page applications (SPAs) with multiple views need a mechanism for users to navigate between those different views without refreshing the whole webpage."
"We can dynamically change application views by switching the app state with conditional rendering, but in most scenarios, we need to sync the application URL with views. For example, when a user visits a profile page, you may need to use /profile in the browser URL. You don't need to implement this routing logic yourself. A fully-featured React routing library, such as React Router, can handle this."
React Router v7 unifies React Router v6 and Remix to provide a versatile routing solution that supports declarative, data, and framework modes. The package switch to react-router and updated examples target Vite + React + TypeScript setups. SPA navigation requires syncing URLs with views rather than full page reloads; routing libraries handle that mapping and state synchronization. React Router offers components, hooks, and utilities for nested routes, params, useRoutes, and route protection following v7 patterns. Declarative mode enables defining routes as UI elements. Practical examples and refreshed setup details facilitate implementing routing for modern React applications.
