Summary

lazyRouteComponent currently returns:

T[TKey] extends (props: infer TProps) => any
  ? AsyncRouteComponent<TProps>
  : never

tsgolint (and similar checkers that cannot instantiate that conditional) resolve the whole function as error. Call sites then fail type-aware lint (no-unsafe-assignment, no-unsafe-call) even though tsc is fine.

This keeps T / TKey named-export inference, moves the props conditional into a default TProps type parameter, and always returns AsyncRouteComponent<TProps>.

Applies to @tanstack/react-router, @tanstack/solid-router, and @tanstack/vue-router.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved type resolution for lazyRouteComponent across React, Solid, and Vue routers.
    • Prevented valid default and named component exports from being incorrectly typed as unavailable.
    • Preserved accurate component prop inference for lazy-loaded routes.
  • Documentation

    • Added release metadata for the router package updates.

The T[K] extends infer ? AsyncRouteComponent : never return type is
resolved as error by tsgolint. Keep named-export inference via a default
TProps type parameter and always return AsyncRouteComponent.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

lazyRouteComponent now returns AsyncRouteComponent<TProps> across React, Solid, and Vue. Prop inference moves to a default generic parameter. React type tests cover default and named exports.

Changes

Lazy route component typing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update router type signatures
packages/react-router/src/lazyRouteComponent.tsx, packages/solid-router/src/lazyRouteComponent.tsx, packages/vue-router/src/lazyRouteComponent.tsx
The three implementations infer TProps through a default generic parameter and return AsyncRouteComponent<TProps> instead of a conditional type that could resolve to never.
Validate typing and record release
packages/react-router/tests/lazyRouteComponent.test-d.tsx, .changeset/lazy-route-component-return-type.md
React type tests cover default and named exports. The changeset records patch releases for the three router packages.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0d900

The PR changes exported TypeScript API signatures in the React, Solid, and Vue router packages without changing runtime behavior, but it should not merge until the required API issue is linked and maintainer sign-off is recorded.

Link the approved API issue and maintainer sign-off before merging.

The three exported lazyRouteComponent signatures change from conditional return types to AsyncRouteComponent<TProps>. The repository convention requires an approved issue and maintainer sign-off before implementing API changes.

so tsgolint cannot handle proper TS syntax?
is there an issue for that at tsgolint? sounds like they should fix it instead.

also, i think we have many more conditional return types.

and similar checkers

which ones?
