Summary

  • start head, scripts, and server headers projections across the rendered route prefix before awaiting them
  • continue applying projection results in route order and preserve abort/error/boundary behavior
  • attach rejection observers immediately so later promises cannot become unhandled while an earlier route is pending
  • cover client and server concurrency with a focused regression test

Testing

  • pnpm nx run @tanstack/router-core:test:unit
  • pnpm nx run @tanstack/router-core:test:types
  • pnpm nx run @tanstack/router-core:test:eslint
  • full bundle-size scenario build

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance

    • Route metadata, scripts, and headers now begin loading in parallel across eligible routes.
    • Child-route assets can begin loading before slower parent assets finish, improving navigation responsiveness.
  • Reliability

    • Route asset ordering and error handling remain consistent during parallel loading.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage verifying parallel asset loading for both client-side and server-side navigation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

projectLane now starts eligible route asset projections concurrently on the client and server. It applies results in route order and preserves traversal and error handling. Tests verify child assets start before deferred parent assets settle.

Changes

Route asset projection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Concurrent projection scheduling
packages/router-core/src/load-client.ts, packages/router-core/src/load-server.ts
Client and server route projections start concurrently. Results remain applied in route order. Traversal stop conditions and projection error handling remain enforced.
Parallel projection validation
packages/router-core/tests/route-assets-parallel.test.ts
Parameterized server and client tests verify that child assets start while parent projections remain pending, then validate the final projected match.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 70df5

This change parallelizes route asset projection while preserving route-order application and error behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Preserve the deferred projection result contract. Both schedulers store projection results as Promise<any>, so TypeScript cannot validate the values assigned to route matches.

  • packages/router-core/src/load-client.ts#L1234-L1234: use a typed tuple for head and scripts projection results.
  • packages/router-core/src/load-server.ts#L623-L623: use the corresponding typed tuple for head, scripts, and headers projection results.

P2 Badge Preserve ancestor assets before invoking descendant hooks

When a nested route's head or scripts hook reads an ancestor's projected meta, links, styles, or scripts through the public matches context, this loop now invokes the descendant hook before any projection results are assigned. Even synchronous ancestor hooks therefore appear as undefined on an initial load, or as stale values during revalidation; the previous route-by-route await assigned each ancestor first. The equivalent batching in load-server.ts causes the same incorrect document assets during SSR, so projection concurrency needs to preserve that observable dependency or explicitly snapshot resolved ancestor assets.
