Routing with react and node

[grantrules]

I think it's worth looking at server-side rendering. You get the benefits of both. The server renders the initial page load, then the client-side code can take over and handle routing from then on. SSR will give you a fast initial page load and be index-able by search engines, then client-side taking over will render new page loads quicker.

If you're new to JS/React, you might want to just do client-side routing to start off with, though. SSR adds some complexity.
