Building a Real App with React Router in a Week

Day 7 — Today I turned a single-page thing into an actual app with navigation. React Router. Sounds simple. Has more depth than I expected. Built a 3-page mini app — Home, About, and a Dashboard. Added a protected route that redirects to login if you're not authenticated. Felt very "real project" energy. useParams is one of those things you don't appreciate until you need dynamic URLs. Once you do, you can't imagine building without it. Nested routes took me a bit to wrap my head around. But once I understood the Outlet component, it all made sense — it's like a placeholder for child routes. One week in and I can already build something that looks like a real web app. Wild. What's your favourite thing about React Router? #reactjs #reactrouter #webdevelopment #frontenddeveloper
