[Docs]: Unclear installation/setup instructions for v6.4.0

Open Dragory opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

What version of React Router are you using?

6.4.0

Steps to Reproduce

Open the documentation at https://reactrouter.com/en/6.4.0

Expected Behavior

I expected to find a dedicated Installation page, similar to https://reactrouter.com/en/v6.3.0/getting-started/installation for v6.3.0, with only the React Router specific installation/configuration steps.

Actual Behavior

I only found a full tutorial where the required installation steps are mixed in with instructions that are specific to the tutorial app and unrelated to React Router itself.

Please fix the documentation of react router dom as its not clean ow to use the latest version there 6.4.0. I spent a lot of time figuring out how to use that.

Any progress on it? Also, Main Concepts section is outdated.

It's not clear for me what to install to be able to use this with react create app. The tutorial, which is the only place that I've found tells me the below... do I need all that to use react router dom? it's super confuse that you don't even have the basic install commands on github repo. Please let me know what to install! thanks.

Sorry folks, our stale bot went rogue and closed this 😅 We will be revisiting this issue soon.

Despite the comprehensive documentation, I was incredibly surprised to find that this item is missing. Upon careful observation, I understand that react-dom-router is likely necessary, but...

Considering the current landscape of front-end frameworks, it is reasonable to assume that the majority of those reading this library's tutorial are working on moderately sized React applications with multiple screens, adopting this library at a later stage. (New projects use Next.js.) Therefore, I believe prioritizing this section and placing it at the top would be beneficial.

I have the same problem here with the latest version of react router dom (6.21.3), it doesn't make sense to put a tutorial to show how to install/use a library. A good old “Getting Started” will be fine and everyone will be content. It's a shame there's no progress on this.
