`createRoutesFromElements`

createRoutesFromElements is a helper that creates route objects from <Route> elements. It's useful if you prefer to create your routes as JSX instead of objects.

import {
  createBrowserRouter,
  createRoutesFromElements,
  RouterProvider,
  Route,
} from "react-router-dom";

// You can do this:
const router = createBrowserRouter(
  createRoutesFromElements(
    <Route path="/" element={<Root />}>
      <Route path="dashboard" element={<Dashboard />} />
      <Route path="about" element={<About />} />
    </Route>
  )
);

// Instead of this:
const router = createBrowserRouter([
  {
    path: "/",
    element: <Root />,
    children: [
      {
        path: "dashboard",
        element: <Dashboard />,
      },
      {
        path: "about",
        element: <About />,
      },
    ],
  },
]);

It's also used internally by <Routes> to generate a route objects from its <Route> children.
