Any cleaner way to trigger React Route change?

Question

I am pretty new to React-Router, I wonder if there is a simple way to change Route, some concept like state in Angular UI Router. From the React Router official tutorial :

https://github.com/reactjs/react-router-tutorial/tree/master/lessons/12-navigating

My understanding is: I have to manually change the url to trigger route change.

Answer 1

What exactly are you trying to achieve? Did you take at look at the react-router Link component?

Perhaps the most used component in your app is Link. Its almost identical to the <a/> tag you're used to except that its aware of the Router it was rendered in.
