๐Ÿš€ Elevate Your React Router Skills: The Ultimate Nuggets ๐ŸŒ

With the following content understand the basic use of some of the major methods or hooks in React Router.

1๏ธโƒฃ BrowserRouter for Seamless Routing: Start your journey with React Router by creating a BrowserRouter. It's the foundation for defining your application's routes, ensuring smooth navigation.

2๏ธโƒฃ Stylish Navigation Links: Make your links stand out with elegance! Use the <NavLink> component and customize the 'isActive' class to highlight active links for an enhanced user experience.

3๏ธโƒฃ Error Handling with useRouteError: Don't let errors go unnoticed. Employ useRouteError to capture and manage errors that may occur during route changes or navigation.

4๏ธโƒฃ Monitor Navigation State with useNavigation: Stay in control of your navigation flow. Utilize useNavigation to track state changes, whether it's in a 'loading,' 'idle,' or 'submitting' state, and execute corresponding actions.

5๏ธโƒฃ Effortless Routing with useNavigate: Master the art of route-switching using useNavigate. With a simple navigate('/home'), you can smoothly transition between different parts of your application.

6๏ธโƒฃ Data Handling with Response(): When loading routes, stay organized with Response(). This function lets you access both data and status values, providing insights into the loading process.

7๏ธโƒฃ Data Fetching Made Easy: Use useLoaderData() to effortlessly fetch data from your loader functions for the current route. And don't forget about useRouteLoaderData("id") to efficiently pass data to child routes.
