Is Page Refresh Necessary for Route Re-Load in ReactJS

Question

Can someone explain to me if I have a doubt in this question: Is page Refresh Necessary for Route Re-Load in ReactJS?

Answer 1

No, a page refresh is not necessary for route re-load in ReactJS. React Router (used for routing in React applications) dynamically updates the UI when the route changes, without requiring a full page reload. This is one of the key benefits of using React for single-page applications (SPAs).

 

Example:

import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Routes, Link } from 'react-router-dom';

function Home() {

  return <h1>Home Page</h1>;

}

function About() {

  return <h1>About Page</h1>;

}

function App() {

  return (

    <Router>

      <nav>

        <Link to="/">Home</Link>

        <Link to="/about">About</Link>

      </nav>

      <Routes>

        <Route path="/" element={<Home />} />

        <Route path="/about" element={<About />} />

      </Routes>

    </Router>

  );

}

export default App;
