TanStack Router

TanStack Router is a modern router designed for type safety, data-driven navigation, and an enhanced developer experience. Key features include:

• End-to-end type safety: Full type safety for routes, parameters, and loaders.
• Schema-driven search params: Validation for search parameters using schemas.
• Built-in data management: Includes caching, prefetching, and invalidation mechanisms.
• Advanced UI patterns: Supports nested layouts, transitions, and error boundaries.

This example serves as a reference implementation for several advanced TanStack Router features:

• Server-side rendering (SSR) with streaming: Delivering HTML in chunks to improve perceived performance.
• File-based routing: Automatically generating route configurations based on the file system structure.
• Progressive rendering: Rendering parts of the UI as they become available.
• Suspense boundaries: Managing loading states for asynchronous data or components.
• Optimized time-to-first-byte (TTFB): Improving server response speed through streaming techniques.

TanStack Start is a full-stack React framework built on TanStack Router and Vite. It provides a unified development experience by adding SSR (Server-Side Rendering), streaming, type-safe RPCs (Server Functions), middleware, server routes, and universal deployment capabilities.

Key architectural principle: All code is isomorphic by default, meaning it runs in both server and client environments unless explicitly constrained. This requires careful management of environment boundaries, especially when handling secrets or server-only logic.

TanStack React Router is a type-safe router for React applications. It features built-in caching and robust URL state management. It is designed to provide a highly developer-friendly experience through strong TypeScript integration.

This example serves as a reference implementation for several advanced TanStack patterns, including:

• File-based routing: Using TanStack Router's automatic route generation.
• TanStack Query integration: Combining routing with data fetching.
• Type-safe data fetching: Ensuring end-to-end type safety from route to data.
• Advanced routing patterns: Handling complex data loading and cache management scenarios.

TanStack Start is a full-stack framework built on top of TanStack Router. It is designed for server-side rendering (SSR), streaming, and production-ready deployments. It provides:

• Full-document SSR & streaming: Optimized for server-side rendering and data streaming.
• Server functions: End-to-end type safety for server-side logic.
• Deployment-ready: Bundling and build processes optimized for production.
• Full-stack capabilities: Extends all features of TanStack Router into a complete framework.

This example serves as a reference implementation for integrating TanStack Router with TanStack Query. It is designed to demonstrate high-complexity scenarios including:

• Advanced Routing: Complex TanStack Router patterns.
• Data Fetching: Integration of TanStack Query for complex data fetching scenarios.
• State & Cache: Cache management and optimistic updates.
• UX Patterns: Handling error states and loading states within a routed application.

TanStack Start is a full-stack React framework powered by TanStack Router. It is designed for building high-performance web applications with features like full-document SSR, streaming, and server functions.
