Patch Changes
  • handle external redirects in from server actions (#​14400)

  • New (unstable) useRoute hook for accessing data from specific routes (#​14407)

    For example, let's say you have an admin route somewhere in your app and you want any child routes of admin to all have access to the loaderData and actionData from admin.

    // app/routes/admin.tsx
    import { Outlet } from "react-router";
    
    export const loader = () => ({ message: "Hello, loader!" });
    
    export const action = () => ({ count: 1 });
    
    export default function Component() {
      return (
        <div>
          {/* ... */}
          <Outlet />
          {/* ... */}
        </div>
      );
    }

    You might even want to create a reusable widget that all of the routes nested under admin could use:

    import { unstable_useRoute as useRoute } from "react-router";
    
    export function AdminWidget() {
      // How to get `message` and `count` from `admin` route?
    }

    In framework mode, useRoute knows all your app's routes and gives you TS errors when invalid route IDs are passed in:

    export function AdminWidget() {
      const admin = useRoute("routes/dmin");
      //                      ^^^^^^^^^^^
    }

    useRoute returns undefined if the route is not part of the current page:

    export function AdminWidget() {
      const admin = useRoute("routes/admin");
      if (!admin) {
        throw new Error(`AdminWidget used outside of "routes/admin"`);
      }
    }

    Note: the root route is the exception since it is guaranteed to be part of the current page.
    As a result, useRoute never returns undefined for root.

    loaderData and actionData are marked as optional since they could be accessed before the action is triggered or after the loader threw an error:

    export function AdminWidget() {
      const admin = useRoute("routes/admin");
      if (!admin) {
        throw new Error(`AdminWidget used outside of "routes/admin"`);
      }
      const { loaderData, actionData } = admin;
      console.log(loaderData);
      //          ^? { message: string } | undefined
      console.log(actionData);
      //          ^? { count: number } | undefined
    }

    If instead of a specific route, you wanted access to the current route's loaderData and actionData, you can call useRoute without arguments:

    export function AdminWidget() {
      const currentRoute = useRoute();
      currentRoute.loaderData;
      currentRoute.actionData;
    }

    This usage is equivalent to calling useLoaderData and useActionData, but consolidates all route data access into one hook: useRoute.

    Note: when calling useRoute() (without a route ID), TS has no way to know which route is the current route.
    As a result, loaderData and actionData are typed as unknown.
    If you want more type-safety, you can either narrow the type yourself with something like zod or you can refactor your app to pass down typed props to your AdminWidget:

    export function AdminWidget({
      message,
      count,
    }: {
      message: string;
      count: number;
    }) {
      /* ... */
    }
