This project uses TanStack Router with file-based routing. Routes are managed as files in src/routes.
To add a new route to your application just add a new file in the ./src/routes directory.
TanStack will automatically generate the content of the route file for you.
Now that you have two routes you can use a Link component to navigate between them.
To use SPA (Single Page Application) navigation you will need to import the Link component from @tanstack/react-router.
import { Link } from "@tanstack/react-router";Then anywhere in your JSX you can use it like so:
<Link to="/about">About</Link>This will create a link that will navigate to the /about route.
More information on the Link component can be found in the Link documentation.
In the File Based Routing setup the layout is located in src/routes/__root.tsx. Anything you add to the root route will appear in all the routes. The route content will appear in the JSX where you render {children} in the shellComponent.
Here is an example layout that includes a header:
import { HeadContent, Scripts, createRootRoute } from '@tanstack/react-router'
export const Route = createRootRoute({
head: () => ({
meta: [
{ charSet: 'utf-8' },
{ name: 'viewport', content: 'width=device-width, initial-scale=1' },
{ title: 'My App' },
],
}),
shellComponent: ({ children }) => (
<html lang="en">
<head>
<HeadContent />
</head>
<body>
<header>
<nav>
<Link to="/">Home</Link>
<Link to="/about">About</Link>
</nav>
</header>
{children}
<Scripts />
</body>
</html>
),
})More information on layouts can be found in the Layouts documentation.
TanStack Start provides server functions that allow you to write server-side code that seamlessly integrates with your client components.
import { createServerFn } from '@tanstack/react-start'
const getServerTime = createServerFn({
method: 'GET',
}).handler(async () => {
return new Date().toISOString()
})
// Use in a component
function MyComponent() {
const [time, setTime] = useState('')
useEffect(() => {
getServerTime().then(setTime)
}, [])
return <div>Server time: {time}</div>
}You can create API routes by using the server property in your route definitions:
import { createFileRoute } from '@tanstack/react-router'
import { json } from '@tanstack/react-start'
export const Route = createFileRoute('/api/hello')({
server: {
handlers: {
GET: () => json({ message: 'Hello, World!' }),
},
},
})There are multiple ways to fetch data in your application. You can use TanStack Query to fetch data from a server. But you can also use the loader functionality built into TanStack Router to load the data for a route before it's rendered.
For example:
import { createFileRoute } from '@tanstack/react-router'
export const Route = createFileRoute('/people')({
loader: async () => {
const response = await fetch('https://swapi.dev/api/people')
return response.json()
},
component: PeopleComponent,
})
function PeopleComponent() {
const data = Route.useLoaderData()
return (
<ul>
{data.results.map((person) => (
<li key={person.name}>{person.name}</li>
))}
</ul>
)
}Loaders simplify your data fetching logic dramatically. Check out more information in the Loader documentation.
Files prefixed with demo can be safely deleted. They are there to provide a starting point for you to play around with the features you've installed.
