TanStack Router is a fully type-safe, client-first router for React and Solid applications, with file-based routing, nested layouts, loaders with caching, and validated search-param state management. It also powers TanStack Start, a full-stack framework adding SSR, streaming, and type-safe server functions.

Use cases

• build a type-safe SPA router for React
• manage filters and pagination in URL search params with validation
• add nested layouts and error boundaries to a React app
• prefetch route data before navigation
• build a full-stack SSR app with server functions
• migrate from React Router for better type inference

When to choose

• you use TypeScript and want end-to-end type safety for routes, params, and search state
• you want file-based routing with generated route trees
• you need loaders with built-in SWR caching and prefetching
• you want URL state treated as a validated, shareable state manager
• you're building a full-stack React or Solid app with TanStack Start

When to avoid

• you're on a framework with its own built-in router (Next.js, SvelteKit)
• you don't use TypeScript and can't benefit from its core value proposition
• you need a router for frameworks other than React or Solid
• you want a minimal zero-config router without a build plugin or CLI
