TanStack Router & Query Integration FAQs

Question 1

Does this support preloading data on link hover?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it includes patterns for 'intent-based preloading' which triggers the route loader as soon as a user hovers over a link, making the subsequent click feel instantaneous.

Question 2

Can I fetch multiple queries at once in a single route?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the skill provides patterns for parallel fetching using Promise.all() within loaders, ensuring all required data for a dashboard is fetched simultaneously rather than sequentially.

Question 3

Why should I fetch data in route loaders instead of components?

Accepted Answer

Fetching in loaders allows the application to start loading data before the component renders. This eliminates 'loading spinner' waterfalls where children wait for parents to finish fetching, resulting in much faster navigation.

Question 4

What is the difference between prefetchQuery and ensureQueryData?

Accepted Answer

prefetchQuery is 'fire and forget' and doesn't block navigation, while ensureQueryData returns a promise that resolves with the data, allowing the router to wait until the data is ready before showing the page.

Question 5

How does this skill handle TypeScript type safety?

Accepted Answer

The skill promotes the 'Query Options' pattern and Zod-validated search parameters, ensuring that data types are consistent between your API, your loaders, and your UI components.
