React Router 5 Course Material

React Router 5 is out and we have created this course so you can learn all about it. The course covers basic and advanced topics. We'll be building a Firebase-looking app that has complex nested layouts and interesting problems to solve.

What's New?

If you're wondering what's new in React Router 5? Not a lot, except internal optimizations and fixes for React 16.x. So you could also think of this as a React Router 4 course since the API is the same. See more info on the React Router 5 release.

Download and Install

After downloading the repository from Github, enter the following commands into your command line from the project folder:

npm install
npm start

Then go to localhost:8000

Be sure to see notes on Lesson Branches below...

Each Lesson is a Git Branch

To view the code for a given lesson, checkout the appropriate branch name. The branch will have the finished code from that lesson.

Installing lesson branches

All the branches are checked out to your local machine automatically when you do npm install. Just do a git branch to verify and see all branches after. If they didn't appear, try running npm run branches to download all the branches.

To view a branch: git checkout [branch-name]

Branch names are minimal for easy typing:

Fake Database

Just so we can mimic some data and pretend it's asynchronous, there's a src/database.json. Feel free to add more "Firebase Projects" if you want.

The CSS

I used className. Who cares, it keeps the styling clutter out of the JS files since this is teaching material for routing.

Code Organization

In /src you'll see:

layouts for highly re-usable app-wide layouts
styles for Sass modules
ui is where I like to put re-usable "leaf-types" of components
utils is a catch all for React components that are more utilitarian in nature (and less UI in nature) and other general utils.

Any other folders in /src is a section of the site, like /auth and /projects which correspond to localhost:8000/auth etc. I guess I could organize those into a /pages folder, but who likes deep nesting anyways?
