Greetings, fellow coders! Our mission today involves Nested Routing in React and the protection of secret paths using react-router-dom
v6. We aim to master Nested Routes and Protected Routes in our React application!
We will:
- Discover Nested Routing.
- Set up routes using
Outlet
. - Guard routes with the
element
. - Explore other routes using
Navigate
.
Let's embark on this journey!
Nested Routing involves defining a route within another — much like a set of Russian dolls. It's especially useful when building complex React applications.
Imagine creating a space travel blog. The homepage lists all the visited planets, and clicking a planet takes you to a “planet” page that shows various posts about your visit. These posts can then be further categorized, creating a nested route for easier navigation.
To guide our spaceship to nested voyages, we set up Nested Routes using the Outlet
component in react-router-dom
v6. The Outlet
component acts as a placeholder for nested routes, like a docking bay where our spaceship can anchor when we travel within nested sections of our journey.
