    • With useQueryParams hook
    • atomWithHash from "jotai/utils" package
    • With React-Location
      • Blog series about file-based routing for React with React-location
      • https://react-location.tanstack.com/

  • File based routing with vite-plugin-pages (auto-generated)

  • General Best Practices for Routing

  • Enable Launchpad Service integration by supporting semantic objects + pre-filling of fields when navigating

• Front-end tooling with Vite instead of (CRAs Webpack) for application lifecycle management
