Swing through this quick tutorial on building a navigation bar in React using Create React App and the react-router-dom library.

Over the years, navigation bars, or navbars, have become a staple feature in building websites. They really come in handy for navigating across a website.

In this tutorial, we’ll go over the basics of building navbars in React. We’ll build a navbar that’s fixed to the top of the page, and the user will be able to switch between webpages like you can on a dashboard, for instance. We’ll then put all our newfound skills into practice by building a live sample app.

Our sample app is an animal gallery that we’ll use to view some pictures of different types of animals after we click the animal’s name on the navigation bar.
