unstable_flushSync APIThis release brings a new unstable_flushSync option to the imperative APIs (useSubmit, useNavigate, fetcher.submit, fetcher.load) to let users opt-into synchronous DOM updates for pending/optimistic UI.

submit(data, { flushSync: true });
// Everything is flushed to the DOM so you can focus/scroll to your pending/optimistic UI

}

Per this RFC, we've introduced some new APIs that give you more granular control over your fetcher behaviors.
useFetcher({ key: string }), which allows you to access the same fetcher instance from different components in your application without prop-drillinguseFetchers so that they can be looked up by keyForm and useSubmit now support optional navigate/fetcherKey props/params to allow kicking off a fetcher submission under the hood with an optionally user-specified key
<Form method="post" navigate={false} fetcherKey="my-key">submit(data, { method: "post", navigate: false, fetcherKey: "my-key" })useFetchers() or useFetcher({ key }) to look it up elsewherefuture.v7_fetcherPersist)Per the same RFC as above, we've introduced a new future.v7_fetcherPersist flag that allows you to opt-into the new fetcher persistence/cleanup behavior. Instead of being immediately cleaned up on unmount, fetchers will persist until they return to an idle state. This makes pending/optimistic UI much easier in scenarios where the originating fetcher needs to unmount.
useFetchers() API was always supposed to only reflect in-flight fetcher information for pending/optimistic UI -- it was not intended to reflect fetcher data or hang onto fetchers after they returned to an idle stateuseFetchers() after completion - they served no purpose in there since you can access the data via useFetcher().dataidle state

Date: 2023-10-16
We're excited to release experimental support for the View Transitions API in React Router! You can now trigger navigational DOM updates to be wrapped in document.startViewTransition to enable CSS animated transitions on SPA navigations in your application.
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 in document.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) {
const 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 a transitioning 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, check out our fork of the awesome 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 to avoid a breaking change, the default behavior will still encode a simple key/value JSON object into a FormData instance:
Date: 2023-06-23
6.14.0 adds support for JSON and Text submissions via useSubmit/fetcher.submit since it's not always convenient to have to serialize into FormData if you're working in a client-side SPA. To opt-into these encodings you just need to specify the proper formEncType:
Opt-into application/json encoding:
function Component() {
let navigation = useNavigation();
let submit = useSubmit();
submit({ key: "value" }, { method: "post", encType: "application/json" });
// navigation.formEncType => "application/json"
// navigation.json => { key: "value" }
}
async function action({ request }) {
// request.headers.get("Content-Type") => "application/json"
// await request.json() => { key: "value" }
}
Opt-into text/plain encoding:
function Component() {
let navigation = useNavigation();
let submit = useSubmit();
submit("Text submission", { method: "post", encType: "text/plain" });
// navigation.formEncType => "text/plain"
// navigation.text => "Text submission"
}
async function action({ request }) {
// request.headers.get("Content-Type") => "text/plain"
// await request.text() => "Text submission"
}
⚠️ Default Behavior Will Change in v7
Please note that to avoid a breaking change, the default behavior will still encode a simple key/value JSON object into a FormData instance:
function Component() {
let navigation = useNavigation();
let submit = useSubmit();
submit({ key: "value" }, { method: "post" });
// navigation.formEncType => "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
// navigation.formData => FormData instance
}
async function action({ request }) {
// request.headers.get("Content-Type") => "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
// await request.formData() => FormData instance
}
This behavior will likely change in v7 so it's best to make any JSON object submissions explicit with formEncType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" or formEncType: "application/json" to ease your eventual v7 migration path.

Date: 2023-06-14
6.13.0 is really a patch release in spirit but comes with a SemVer minor bump since we added a new future flag.
future.v7_startTransitionThe tl;dr; is that 6.13.0 is the same as 6.12.0 bue we've moved the usage of React.startTransition behind an opt-in future.v7_startTransition future flag because we found that there are applications in the wild that are currently using Suspense in ways that are incompatible with React.startTransition.
Therefore, in 6.13.0 the default behavior will no longer leverage React.startTransition:
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>{/*...*/}</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
<RouterProvider router={router} />
If you wish to enable React.startTransition, pass the future flag to your router component:
<BrowserRouter future={{ v7_startTransition: true }}>
<Routes>{/*...*/}</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
<RouterProvider router={router} future={{ v7_startTransition: true }}/>
We recommend folks adopt this flag sooner rather than later to be better compatible with React concurrent mode, but if you run into issues you can continue without the use of React.startTransition until v7. Issues usually boil down to creating net-new promises during the render cycle, so if you run into issues when opting into React.startTransition, you should either lift your promise creation out of the render cycle or put it behind a useMemo.

React.startTransition supportWith 6.12.0 we've added better support for suspending components by wrapping the internal router state updates in React.startTransition. This means that, for example, if one of your components in a destination route suspends and you have not provided a Suspense boundary to show a fallback, React will delay the rendering of the new UI and show the old UI until that asynchronous operation resolves. This could be useful for waiting for things such as waiting for images or CSS files to load (and technically, yes, you could use it for data loading but we'd still recommend using loaders for that 😀). For a quick overview of this usage, check out Ryan's demo on Twitter.

We recently published a post over on the Remix Blog titled "Future Proofing Your Remix App" that goes through our strategy to ensure smooth upgrades for your Remix and React Router apps going forward. React Router 6.10.0 adds support for these flags (for data routers) which you can specify when you create your router:
const router = createBrowserRouter(routes, {
future: {
// specify future flags here
},
});
You can also check out the docs here and here.
future.v7_normalizeFormMethodThe first future flag being introduced is future.v7_normalizeFormMethod which will normalize the exposed useNavigation()/useFetcher() formMethod fields as uppercase HTTP methods to align with the fetch() (and some Remix) behavior. (#10207)

Date: 2023-03-10
Component/ErrorBoundary route propertiesReact Router now supports an alternative way to define your route element and errorElement fields as React Components instead of React Elements. You can instead pass a React Component to the new Component and ErrorBoundary 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 do Component/ErrorBoundary will "win"
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() { ... }
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 or submitting 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. For more info, check out the lazy docs.
