Can this skill help optimize my application performance?

Absolutely. It focuses on using loaders for parallel data fetching and automatic revalidation, which prevents the 'waterfall' effect common in useEffect-based fetching.

Does it support type-safe routing?

Yes, it includes patterns for auto-generated types in Framework Mode and manual type-safety best practices for Data Mode.

What is the difference between Data Mode and Framework Mode in this skill?

Data Mode uses createBrowserRouter for SPAs with manual control, while Framework Mode leverages the Vite plugin for built-in SSR support and auto-generated types.

When should I use a Form component versus useFetcher?

Use the component for operations that should change the URL or add to the browser history, and useFetcher for inline updates like list operations or popovers.

Does this skill help with data fetching errors?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for ErrorBoundaries to handle route-level errors and data loading failures gracefully.

Developer Tools

Implements optimized data-driven routing patterns and modern navigation workflows for React Router v7 applications.

About

This skill provides authoritative guidance on architecting React applications using the latest React Router v7 patterns, including both Data Mode and Framework Mode (Vite). It helps developers move away from inefficient useEffect-based data fetching by implementing robust loaders, actions, and revalidation strategies. Whether you are building complex nested layouts with Outlets or managing stateful forms with fetchers, this skill ensures your routing logic follows performance and type-safety best practices established by the Remix and React Router teams.
