In this workshop, we'll start with an app running React Router v5.0 and incrementally upgrade it to v6 and finally to v7 of React Router which will open up modern React features to our app.
I may finish making it a proper workshop with exercises and all that, but for now, it's just a couple checkpoints. You can run it locally and check the diff (or just check the diff tab in the deployed version). You'll want to check v5 vs v6 and then v6 vs v7 and then one more incremental improvement on v7.
- Experience with older versions of React Router
Here are some resources you can read before taking the workshop to get you up to speed on some of the tools and concepts we'll be covering:
All of these must be available in your PATH. To verify things are set up
properly, you can run this:
git --version
node --version
npm --versionIf you have trouble with any of these, learn more about the PATH environment variable and how to fix it here for windows or mac/linux.
This is a pretty large project (it's actually many apps in one) so it can take several minutes to get everything set up the first time. Please have a strong network connection before running the setup and grab a snack.
Warning: This repo is very large. Make sure you have a good internet connection before you start the setup process. The instructions below use
--depthto limit the amount you download, but if you have a slow connection, or you pay for bandwidth, you may want to find a place with a better connection.
Follow these steps to get this set up:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/epicweb-dev/upgrade-react-router.git
cd upgrade-react-router
npm run setupIf you experience errors here, please open an issue with as many details as you can offer.
