import { RouterProvider } from "react-router-dom"


The import { RouterProvider } from "react-router-dom"; statement is used in React applications to import the RouterProvider component from the react-router-dom library.

Functionality of RouterProvider:

  • Provides the Router Context: The RouterProvider component is a core part of React Router v6. It acts as a wrapper for your entire application or the section of your application where routing is managed. It provides the router context to all nested components, allowing them to access routing functionalities like navigation, route matching, and data loading (with v6.4+ data APIs).

  • Receives a Router Object: It takes a router prop, which is an object created using one of React Router's router creation functions, such as createBrowserRouter or createHashRouter. This router object contains the definition of your application's routes.

  • Enables Data APIs: When used with createBrowserRouter, RouterProvider enables the use of React Router's data APIs (loaders, actions, fetchers) for efficient data management within your routes.

  • Centralized Route Management: By wrapping your application with RouterProvider, you centralize the management of your application's routing logic, making it easier to define, organize, and maintain your routes.

Example Usage: 
Code

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom/client";
import { createBrowserRouter, RouterProvider } from "react-router-dom";
import App from "./App";
import About from "./About";
import Contact from "./Contact";

const router = createBrowserRouter([
  {
    path: "/",
    element: <App />,
  },
  {
    path: "/about",
    element: <About />,
  },
  {
    path: "/contact",
    element: <Contact />,
  },
]);

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root")).render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <RouterProvider router={router} />
  </React.StrictMode>
);
