Using React Router

1. To install react-router, follow the installation instructions here.

2. First, use the example they provide to get familiar with:

   • <Route>
     • What does the path represent?
     • What other attributes are there?
   • <Link>
   • <Router>

3. Now integrate react-router into one of the projects you have developed during this class. It would be great if you could have URLs which direct the user to your:

   • <TweetBox>
   • <ContactList>
   • <EditInvoice>

4. Create a route which uses a URL like http://localhost:3000/contacts/1 to show a specific contact.
