How to Edit useParams IDs for Proper Titles in React

In the world of web development, particularly when working with React, you might find yourself facing challenges related to routing and dynamic content. One common issue is ensuring that the page titles reflect user-friendly formats rather than URL-friendly strings. This guide addresses the specific case of displaying proper titles for Marvel movie pages in a React application.

The Problem

You have a Marvel page that links to various movies, and upon clicking a link, you are redirected to a detailed page that should display the movie's title at the top. However, instead of showing a nicely formatted title like "Captain America: Civil War", the code currently outputs the URL format "captain-america-civil-war". This can be confusing for users and detracts from the overall user experience.

Here's an overview of your routing structure within the application:

Your Marvel page contains links like this:

But on your Detail page, you are currently retrieving the id with:

The Solution

To solve this problem, you'll need to create a mapping between the id format used in the URL and the proper movie titles. This can be easily accomplished by maintaining a separate list that contains each Marvel movie’s ID linked to its friendly title.

Step 1: Create a Marvel Details File

First, create a new JavaScript file named marvelDetails.js. Within this file, define an array of objects where each object contains both the id and the corresponding title:

Step 2: Modify the Detail Page

Now that you have your mapping set up, you need to import this array into your Detail page and use it to fetch the correct title based on the id retrieved from useParams().

Here’s how to adjust your Detail page:

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should now successfully display the proper movie title on your Marvel Detail page, replacing the former URL-friendly format. This simple modification greatly enhances user experience by presenting clear and descriptive page titles.

Implementing this solution allows your application to become more user-friendly and polished, ensuring that users will appreciate the clarity of information. With just a small amount of extra code, you can make a significant difference in how content is displayed.
