📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Router generator now enables TypeScript tsconfig path alias resolution when loading virtual route configuration files. The core change adds tsconfigPaths: true to Jiti options. A test suite validates the feature with an aliased subtree and nested route hierarchy using a @/* alias.

Changes

TypeScript tsconfig Path Resolution

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Jiti Configuration packages/router-generator/src/filesystem/virtual/loadConfigFile.ts	loadConfigFile instantiates Jiti with tsconfigPaths: true and interopDefault: false to resolve TypeScript path aliases.
Test Configuration packages/router-generator/tests/generator/virtual-config-file-tsconfig-paths/tsconfig.json, packages/router-generator/tests/generator/virtual-config-file-tsconfig-paths/tsr.config.json	Fixture tsconfig defines @/* → ./aliased/*; tsr.config.json points the generator at the test routes directory, generated output, and virtual config module.
Aliased Virtual Routes packages/router-generator/tests/generator/virtual-config-file-tsconfig-paths/aliased/virtual-routes.ts	New module exported via the @/* alias providing helloSubtree as a physical route.
Route File Hierarchy packages/router-generator/tests/generator/virtual-config-file-tsconfig-paths/routes/*, .../db/*, .../subtree/*	Multiple file-route definitions added: root, index, layout, pages (/$lang/), dashboard, invoices, invoice detail, and nested subtree routes used by the test.
Route Tree Orchestration packages/router-generator/tests/generator/virtual-config-file-tsconfig-paths/routes.ts	Composes file routes and the aliased helloSubtree into the exported route tree with proper nesting.
Generated Route Tree packages/router-generator/tests/generator/virtual-config-file-tsconfig-paths/routeTree.snapshot.ts	Snapshot of expected generator output: route constants with id/path/getParentRoute, typed route mapping interfaces, and module augmentation for TanStack React Router.
Release Notes .changeset/quiet-rivers-serve.md	Changeset documents a patch release for @tanstack/router-generator enabling tsconfig path alias resolution.

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~12 minutes

🐰 With aliases now resolved, our config files dance free,

Path mappings spring to life in harmony,
No more module-not-found to make us weep,
The router's routes run nested and deep! ✨

Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	The PR addresses issue #7275 by enabling TypeScript path alias resolution in the Jiti loader. Changes to loadConfigFile.ts add 'tsconfigPaths: true' configuration, directly fixing the reported 'Cannot find module' error when importing with path aliases.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	All changes are in-scope: the core fix modifies loadConfigFile.ts to support tsconfig paths, and new test files comprehensively validate the fix with path aliases configured in tsconfig.json.
