React Router V7

Helps Claude work with React Router v7's data-driven routing patterns, including loaders, actions, and the router setup itself. The skill triggers on key imports like createBrowserRouter, useLoaderData, and useFetcher, so Claude knows to reference the documented patterns. What's useful here are the decision gates that walk through Form vs fetcher and loader vs useEffect choices in sequence, which mirrors how you actually think through these decisions when building. Covers both framework mode with the Vite plugin and the lower-level data router API. Good for anyone moving to v7's data patterns or just tired of explaining when to use which routing primitive.

React Router v7 Best Practices

Quick Reference

Router Setup (Data Mode):

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

const router = createBrowserRouter([
  {
    path: "/",
    Component: Root,
    ErrorBoundary: RootErrorBoundary,
    loader: rootLoader,
    children: [
      { index: true, Component: Home },
      { path: "products/:productId", Component: Product, loader: productLoader },
    ],
  },
]);

ReactDOM.createRoot(root).render(<RouterProvider router={router} />);

Framework Mode (Vite plugin):

// routes.ts
import { index, route } from "@react-router/dev/routes";

export default [
  index("./home.tsx"),
  route("products/:pid", "./product.tsx"),
];

Route Configuration

Nested Routes with Outlets

createBrowserRouter([
  {
    path: "/dashboard",
    Component: Dashboard,
    children: [
      { index: true, Component: DashboardHome },
      { path: "settings", Component: Settings },
    ],
  },
]);

function Dashboard() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Dashboard</h1>
      <Outlet /> {/* Renders child routes */}
    </div>
  );
}
