import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route, Link, NavLink } from 'react-router';
function App() {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
{/* Navigation */}
<nav>
<Link to="/">Home</Link>
{/* NavLink adds 'active' class when route matches */}
<NavLink
to="/about"
className={({ isActive }) => isActive ? 'active' : ''}
>
About
</NavLink>
<Link to="/users">Users</Link>
</nav>
{/* Route definitions */}
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
<Route path="/about" element={<About />} />
<Route path="/users" element={<Users />} />
<Route path="*" element={<NotFound />} />
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
);
