whatever folder we put in app directory, that will become part of url or segment of url.
Some popular routing options
- Private folders
_folder name - Route Groups
(dashboard) - Dynamic Routes
[..folder]- catch all route segments.
What if we don't want some folder to be part of our url segment? Add it to private folder? place _ before the folder name.
for instance, we do not want images to be part of our url, add the _ to the folder name (_images).
- Private Folder
_folder_name
Lets say we don't want contents folder to be part of the segment, go to app and create a folder _contents, now domain/contents cannot be accessed.
What if we want to group all the routes, for instance if we have a dashboard and inside the folder we have profile, info, about. It would be tedious to have dashboard/profile, dashboard/about and so on.
using next, set the folder name with (foldername).
(dashboard)
- auth
- profile
When we navigate, we don't navigate dashboard/profile, just /profile or /auth.
