In React, the navigation between pages is typically handled using a library like React Router. Here are the steps to navigate to the next page using React Router:
- Install React Router: Run the following command in your project directory to install React Router:
1
|
npm install react-router-dom |
- Set up the Router: Import the necessary components from React Router and set up the Router in your main file.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 |
import React from 'react';
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Switch, Link } from 'react-router-dom';
import HomePage from './components/HomePage';
import NextPage from './components/NextPage';
function App() {
return (
<Router>
<div>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>
<Link to="/">Home</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/next">Next Page</Link>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={HomePage} />
<Route path="/next" component={NextPage} />
</Switch>
</div>
</Router>
);
}
export default App;
|
In this example, the Router is set up with two routes - one for the home page (/) and one for the next page (/next). The Link component is used to create navigation links.
- Create the Components: Create the components for the home page and the next page.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
import React from 'react';
function HomePage() {
return (
<div>
<h1>Home Page</h1>
</div>
);
}
export default HomePage;
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
import React from 'react';
function NextPage() {
return (
<div>
<h1>Next Page</h1>
</div>
);
}
export default NextPage;
|
- Test the Navigation: You can now test the navigation between pages by running your React app. Clicking on the "Next Page" link should navigate to the next page.
Note: In more complex scenarios, you can use React Router's Route component with the render prop to conditionally render components based on certain conditions, such as passing props or handling route parameters.
