This example demonstrates smooth scrolling to anchor links within a React application, where clicking a link scrolls to a target section instead of jumping instantly. It shows a simple page with one link that triggers a scroll to a section with the id “section.” The code uses the `react-router-hash-link` library’s `HashLink` component to handle the anchor navigation, and the `smooth-scroll` library, initialized in `componentDidMount` with a selector for all links containing `href*="#"`, to animate the scrolling behavior.
