How do you pass parameters in routes?
Short answer: You can pass URL parameters (also called dynamic routes) using : in the route path. Example: import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Switch, useParams } from 'react-router-dom'; function App() { return ( <Router> <Switch> <Route path="/user/:id" component={User} /> </Switch> </Router> ); } function User() { const { id } = useParams(); // Access the dynamic parameter
Example code
return <h1>User ID: {id}</h1>;
} In the example above, visiting /user/1 will display User ID: 1.
Real-world example (ShopNest)
ShopNest’s storefront is React: components for ProductCard, CartDrawer, and CheckoutForm, with hooks for local UI state.
Say this in the interview
- Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
- Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
- Trade-off — when you would not use it.
