Routing in react + vite application

 Vite itself doesn't have built-in routing functionality, but it integrates well with popular routing libraries like React Router. Here's a breakdown of setting up routing in a Vite app:

1. Choosing a library:

• React Router: A popular choice for React applications, offering features like nested routes, dynamic parameters, and programmatic navigation. (https://reacttraining.com/react-router)

2. Installation:

Use npm or yarn to install the chosen library. For React Router:

Bash

npm install react-router-dom

3. Component Creation:

• Create separate components for each view in your application.

4. Routing Configuration:

• Import necessary components from React Router (e.g., BrowserRouter, Routes, Route).
• Wrap your application with BrowserRouter to enable routing.
• Define routes using Routes and Route components.
  • Specify paths for each route and the corresponding component to render.
  • Use the path prop to define the URL path for the route.
  • For dynamic routes, include a colon (:paramName) in the path and access the parameter value using useParams hook within the component.

5. Navigation:

• Use Link component from React Router to navigate between routes.
  • Provide the target path to the to prop.

Additional Considerations:

• File-based routing: Vite supports file-based routing where the file structure mirrors the URL structure. This can be a simpler approach for basic applications. (https://github.com/brattonross/vite-plugin-voie)
• Server-side routing: For advanced scenarios, libraries like vite-plugin-ssr enable server-side rendering with options for both full page reloads and client-side routing. (https://vite-plugin-ssr.com/)

Remember to refer to the official documentation of your chosen routing library for detailed usage and advanced features.
