Add a new
future.v7_relativeSplatPath
flag to implement a breaking bug fix to relative routing when inside a splat route. (#11087)This fix was originally added in #10983 and was later reverted in #11078 because it was determined that a large number of existing applications were relying on the buggy behavior (see #11052)
The Bug The buggy behavior is that without this flag, the default behavior when resolving relative paths is to ignore any splat (
*
) portion of the current route path.The Background This decision was originally made thinking that it would make the concept of nested different sections of your apps in
<Routes>
easier if relative routing would replace the current splat:<BrowserRouter> <Routes> <Route path="/" element={<Home />} /> <Route path="dashboard/*" element={<Dashboard />} /> </Routes> </BrowserRouter>
Any paths like
/dashboard
,/dashboard/team
,/dashboard/projects
will match theDashboard
route. The dashboard component itself can then render nested<Routes>
:function Dashboard() { return ( <div> <h2>Dashboard</h2> <nav> <Link to="/">Dashboard Home</Link> <Link to="team">Team</Link> <Link to="projects">Projects</Link> </nav> <Routes> <Route path="/" element={<DashboardHome />} /> <Route path="team" element={<DashboardTeam />} /> <Route path="projects" element={<DashboardProjects />} /> </Routes> </div> ); }
Now, all links and route paths are relative to the router above them. This makes code splitting and compartmentalizing your app really easy. You could render the
Dashboard
as its own independent app, or embed it into your large app without making any changes to it.The Problem
The problem is that this concept of ignoring part of a path breaks a lot of other assumptions in React Router - namely that
"."
always means the current location pathname for that route. When we ignore the splat portion, we start getting invalid paths when using"."
:// If we are on URL /dashboard/team, and we want to link to /dashboard/team: function DashboardTeam() { // ❌ This is broken and results in <a href="/dashboard"> return <Link to=".">A broken link to the Current URL</Link>; // ✅ This is fixed but super unintuitive since we're already at /dashboard/team! return <Link to="./team">A broken link to the Current URL</Link>; }
We've also introduced an issue that we can no longer move our
DashboardTeam
component around our route hierarchy easily - since it behaves differently if we're underneath a non-splat route, such as/dashboard/:widget
. Now, our"."
links will, properly point to ourself inclusive of the dynamic param value so behavior will break from it's corresponding usage in a/dashboard/*
route.Even worse, consider a nested splat route configuration:
<BrowserRouter> <Routes> <Route path="dashboard"> <Route path="*" element={<Dashboard />} /> </Route> </Routes> </BrowserRouter>
Now, a
<Link to=".">
and a<Link to="..">
inside theDashboard
component go to the same place! That is definitely not correct!Another common issue arose in Data Routers (and Remix) where any
<Form>
should post to it's own routeaction
if you the user doesn't specify a form action:let router = createBrowserRouter({ path: "/dashboard", children: [ { path: "*", action: dashboardAction, Component() { // ❌ This form is broken! It throws a 405 error when it submits because // it tries to submit to /dashboard (without the splat value) and the parent // `/dashboard` route doesn't have an action return <Form method="post">...</Form>; }, }, ], });
This is just a compounded issue from the above because the default location for a
Form
to submit to is itself ("."
) - and if we ignore the splat portion, that now resolves to the parent route.The Solution If you are leveraging this behavior, it's recommended to enable the future flag, move your splat to it's own route, and leverage
../
for any links to "sibling" pages:<BrowserRouter> <Routes> <Route path="dashboard"> <Route index path="*" element={<Dashboard />} /> </Route> </Routes> </BrowserRouter> function Dashboard() { return ( <div> <h2>Dashboard</h2> <nav> <Link to="..">Dashboard Home</Link> <Link to="../team">Team</Link> <Link to="../projects">Projects</Link> </nav> <Routes> <Route path="/" element={<DashboardHome />} /> <Route path="team" element={<DashboardTeam />} /> <Route path="projects" element={<DashboardProjects />} /> </Router> </div> ); }
This way,
.
means "the full current pathname for my route" in all cases (including static, dynamic, and splat routes) and..
always means "my parents pathname".

Add experimental support for the View Transitions API via
document.startViewTransition
to enable CSS animated transitions on SPA navigations in your application. (#10916)The simplest approach to enabling a View Transition in your React Router app is via the new
<Link unstable_viewTransition>
prop. This will cause the navigation DOM update to be wrapped indocument.startViewTransition
which will enable transitions for the DOM update. Without any additional CSS styles, you'll get a basic cross-fade animation for your page.If you need to apply more fine-grained styles for your animations, you can leverage the
unstable_useViewTransitionState
hook which will tell you when a transition is in progress and you can use that to apply classes or styles:function ImageLink(to, src, alt) { let isTransitioning = unstable_useViewTransitionState(to); return ( <Link to={to} unstable_viewTransition> <img src={src} alt={alt} style={{ viewTransitionName: isTransitioning ? "image-expand" : "", }} /> </Link> ); }
You can also use the
<NavLink unstable_viewTransition>
shorthand which will manage the hook usage for you and automatically add atransitioning
class to the<a>
during the transition:a.transitioning img { view-transition-name: "image-expand"; }
<NavLink to={to} unstable_viewTransition> <img src={src} alt={alt} /> </NavLink>
For an example usage of View Transitions with React Router, check out our fork of the Astro Records demo.
For more information on using the View Transitions API, please refer to the Smooth and simple transitions with the View Transitions API guide from the Google Chrome team.
Please note, that because the
ViewTransition
API is a DOM API, we now export a specificRouterProvider
fromreact-router-dom
with this functionality. If you are importingRouterProvider
fromreact-router
, then it will not support view transitions. (#10928

Move
React.startTransition
usage behind a future flag to avoid issues with existing incompatibleSuspense
usages. We recommend folks adopting this flag to be better compatible with React concurrent mode, but if you run into issues you can continue without the use ofstartTransition
until v7. Issues usually boils down to creating net-new promises during the render cycle, so if you run into issues you should either lift your promise creation out of the render cycle or put it behind auseMemo
. (#10596)Existing behavior will no longer include
React.startTransition
:<BrowserRouter> <Routes>{/*...*/}</Routes> </BrowserRouter> <RouterProvider router={router} />
If you wish to enable
React.startTransition
, pass the future flag to your component:<BrowserRouter future={{ v7_startTransition: true }}> <Routes>{/*...*/}</Routes> </BrowserRouter> <RouterProvider router={router} future={{ v7_startTransition: true }}/>

React Router now supports an alternative way to define your route
element
anderrorElement
fields as React Components instead of React Elements. You can instead pass a React Component to the newComponent
andErrorBoundary
fields if you choose. There is no functional difference between the two, so use whichever approach you prefer 😀. You shouldn't be defining both, but if you doComponent
/ErrorBoundary
will "win". (#10045)Example JSON Syntax
// Both of these work the same: const elementRoutes = [{ path: '/', element: <Home />, errorElement: <HomeError />, }] const componentRoutes = [{ path: '/', Component: Home, ErrorBoundary: HomeError, }] function Home() { ... } function HomeError() { ... }
Example JSX Syntax
// Both of these work the same: const elementRoutes = createRoutesFromElements( <Route path='/' element={<Home />} errorElement={<HomeError /> } /> ); const componentRoutes = createRoutesFromElements( <Route path='/' Component={Home} ErrorBoundary={HomeError} /> ); function Home() { ... } function HomeError() { ... }

Introducing Lazy Route Modules! (#10045)
In order to keep your application bundles small and support code-splitting of your routes, we've introduced a new
lazy()
route property. This is an async function that resolves the non-route-matching portions of your route definition (loader
,action
,element
/Component
,errorElement
/ErrorBoundary
,shouldRevalidate
,handle
).Lazy routes are resolved on initial load and during the
loading
orsubmitting
phase of a navigation or fetcher call. You cannot lazily define route-matching properties (path
,index
,children
) since we only execute your lazy route functions after we've matched known routes.Your
lazy
functions will typically return the result of a dynamic import.// In this example, we assume most folks land on the homepage so we include that // in our critical-path bundle, but then we lazily load modules for /a and /b so // they don't load until the user navigates to those routes let routes = createRoutesFromElements( <Route path="/" element={<Layout />}> <Route index element={<Home />} /> <Route path="a" lazy={() => import("./a")} /> <Route path="b" lazy={() => import("./b")} /> </Route> );
Then in your lazy route modules, export the properties you want defined for the route:
export async function loader({ request }) { let data = await fetchData(request); return json(data); } // Export a `Component` directly instead of needing to create a React Element from it export function Component() { let data = useLoaderData(); return ( <> <h1>You made it!</h1> <p>{data}</p> </> ); } // Export an `ErrorBoundary` directly instead of needing to create a React Element from it export function ErrorBoundary() { let error = useRouteError(); return isRouteErrorResponse(error) ? ( <h1> {error.status} {error.statusText} </h1> ) : ( <h1>{error.message || error}</h1> ); }
An example of this in action can be found in the
examples/lazy-loading-router-provider
directory of the repository.🙌 Huge thanks to @rossipedia for the Initial Proposal and POC Implementation.
