- When submitting a form from a

element, prefer the built-innew FormData(form, submitter)
instead of the previous manual approach in modern browsers (those that support the newsubmitter
parameter) (#9865, #10627)- For browsers that don't support it, we continue to just append the submit button's entry to the end, and we also add rudimentary support for
type="image"
buttons - If developers want full spec-compliant support for legacy browsers, they can use the

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.

Whoa this is a big one! 6.4.0
brings all the data loading and mutation APIs over from Remix. Here's a quick high level overview, but it's recommended you go check out the docs, especially the feature overview and the tutorial.
New APIs
- Create your router with
createMemoryRouter
/createBrowserRouter
/createHashRouter
- Render your router with
<RouterProvider>
- Load data with a Route
loader
and mutate with a Routeaction
- Handle errors with Route
errorElement
- Submit data with the new
<Form>
component - Perform in-page data loads and mutations with
useFetcher()
- Defer non-critical data with
defer
andAwait
- Manage scroll position with
<ScrollRestoration>
New Features
- Perform path-relative navigations with
<Link relative="path">
(#9160)
Bug Fixes
- Path resolution is now trailing slash agnostic (#8861)
useLocation
returns the scoped location inside a<Routes location>
component (#9094)- respect the
<Link replace>
prop if it is defined (#8779)
