# React Router ## Objectives * Describe the concept of React components * Identify situations where a view router is needed * Use `react-router` to create different pages in React * Configure `react-router` to utilize route parameters ## Intro In AngularJS, we utilized the Angular UI Router to route between different views. Each route was represented via state, and each state could be associated with a view and controller. React has a similar router called React Router. However, we need to think in terms of React. Each route in React will be represented via a **component**, which contains state and a view. Therefore, we can use the router to switch between different components. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
