The Complete React Developer Course (with Hooks and Redux) - React-Router 101

This video tutorial covers the basics of setting up React Router in a React application. It begins with an introduction to React Router and its documentation, followed by a step-by-step guide on installing it using yarn. The tutorial then demonstrates how to create multiple pages using React Router, including setting up routes and handling client-side routing. It also addresses common issues like 404 errors and provides a challenge to add additional pages. The video concludes with a recap of the key points and a look ahead to further exploration of React Router.
