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.
