When a user goes to my domain www.example.com
they see my webpage I created using React. I want to use React to show them a different webpage when they go to www.example.com/anotherpage
instead.
This is the code I have in my index.js file which creates the webpage at www.example.com
,
const element = <h1>Hello, world</h1>; ReactDOM.render(element, document.getElementById('root'));

There are multiple solution for this, if you are creating an SPA with create-react-app, then one of the most popular solution is by using react-router.
As shown in the example, then the basic routing is like this:
import React from "react"; import { BrowserRouter as Router, Switch, Route, Link } from "react-router-dom"; export default function App() { return ( <Router> <div> <nav> <ul> <li> <Link to="/">Home</Link> </li> <li> <Link to="/about">About</Link> </li> <li> <Link to="/users">Users</Link> </li> </ul> </nav> <Switch> <Route path="/about"> <About /> </Route> <Route path="/users"> <Users /> </Route> <Route path="/"> <Home /> </Route> </Switch> </div> </Router> ); } function Home() { return <h2>Route Home</h2>; } function About() { return <h2>Route About</h2>; } function Users() { return <h2>Route Users</h2>; }
However if you are using another framework such as Next.js, then they have the filesystem pages where creating a page under /pages/
folder will create a new route.
