Load new component while adding href to url
I am trying to implement a system to when an item in the navbar is clicked it loads a new component on the screen. I am running into a problem making this a new URL and keeping my state. Let me clarify.
Here is my navbar code:
<Nav pullRight activeKey="1" onSelect={k => this.handleSelect(k)}>
<NavItem eventKey={1} href={'/component1'}>
Component 1
</NavItem>
<NavItem eventKey={2} href={'/component2'}>
Component 2
</NavItem>
</Nav>
Here is my handleSelect code:
handleSelect(eventKey, event) {
this.setState({
componentToLoad: eventKey
});
event.preventDefault();
}
In my render I do this:
render() {
if(this.state.componentToLoad === 'component1'){
return (<Component1/>);
} else if(this.props.componentToLoad === 'component2'){
return (<Component2/>);
}
The problem I'm running into is because of the href adding to the URL the page reloads and I lose my state so it always loads component 1 because I set it to that in the constructor. If I remove the href it works, but the URL is not how I want it.
How do I get this to load the component I want, add to the URL, and keep the state?
Thank you

As mentioned in the comments, React Router is a good choice for your requirements.
Here's a codesandbox using React Router, simply illustrating the functionality you describe.
You could also use the browser's History API (see pushState method) to manipulate the URL directly without a page reload, although be aware that there are some differences in the api in modern browsers.
