"With the release of React Router v7, routing has evolved beyond simple navigation into a set of modes that can also manage data, handle mutations, and even power full-stack applications. In this guide, we'll break down the three modes React Router v7 offers: declarative, data, and framework and, explore when to use each."
"React Router started as a routing library for Single-Page Applications (SPAs). In v4, the authors added support for routing React Native apps, which meant there were now two ways to use the library. To distinguish between these use cases, the team released two different libraries: react-router-dom for Web Apps and react-router-native for React Native."
"Eventually, in the v6 release, React Router became more than just a routing library. It also started to handle data loading and mutations in routes. Data handling patterns from Remix were ported to React Router as the authors thought those patterns would be beneficial to the routing library. In v7, the React Router team decided to combine Remix and React Router, releasing them as just one library: react-router."
React Router v7 transforms routing into a multi-mode system that covers simple navigation, data management, mutations, and full-stack application needs. The three modes—declarative, data, and framework—address distinct use cases and let developers choose the level of routing and data responsibilities required. The library evolved from an SPA router, added React Native support in v4, and adopted data-loading and mutation patterns by v6. The v7 release unifies prior separate projects into a single react-router package and groups its expanded functionality into modes to support both web and full-stack scenarios.
