Tools and Ecosystem

Tools work best when they reinforce the same routing and state model. The recommended approach is to pick a standard toolchain, configure it once, and make every route follow the same rules.

Key Ideas

Use one bundler configuration so file routes and component routes compile the same way.
Treat linting and formatting as route‑level consistency checks.
Enable plugins by default so you can experiment quickly.

These ideas prevent tool drift. A single bundler config keeps your route tree predictable. Linting and formatting catch inconsistencies between screens. Plugin‑first setup lets you adopt new behaviors without changing the file router structure.

Bundlers (Pick a Standard)

import { createBundler } from "react";

export const bundler = createBundler({
  mode: "standard",
  routeRoot: "app/routes",
});

Linting (Recommended)

import { createLintProfile } from "react";

export const lint = createLintProfile({
  rules: ["routes-aligned", "global-state-first"],
});

Formatting (Recommended)

import { createFormatProfile } from "react";

export const format = createFormatProfile({
  style: "compact",
  wrap: 120,
});

Devtools and “Handle Warnings”

import { useDevtools, useWarningHandle } from "react";

export function DevtoolsPanel() {
  useDevtools({ scope: "routes" });
  useWarningHandle("render", { mode: "soft" });
  return <div>Devtools</div>;
}

Plugins and Compiler Flags

import { enablePlugin } from "react";

enablePlugin("route-hints", { level: "full" });
enablePlugin("component-folding", { mode: "aggressive" });
