+
+TanStack Router implementation with folder-based routing and lazy loading patterns.
+
+---
+
+## TanStack Router Overview
+
+**TanStack Router** with file-based routing:
+- Folder structure defines routes
+- Lazy loading for code splitting
+- Type-safe routing
+- Breadcrumb loaders
+
+---
+
+## Folder-Based Routing
+
+### Directory Structure
+
+```
+routes/
+  __root.tsx                    # Root layout
+  index.tsx                     # Home route (/)
+  posts/
+    index.tsx                   # /posts
+    create/
+      index.tsx                 # /posts/create
+    $postId.tsx                 # /posts/:postId (dynamic)
+  comments/
+    index.tsx                   # /comments
+```
+
+**Pattern**:
+- `index.tsx` = Route at that path
+- `$param.tsx` = Dynamic parameter
+- Nested folders = Nested routes
+
+---
+
+## Basic Route Pattern
+
+### Example from posts/index.tsx
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Posts route component
+ * Displays the main blog posts list
+ */
+
+import { createFileRoute } from '@tanstack/react-router';
+import { lazy } from 'react';
+
+// Lazy load the page component
+const PostsList = lazy(() =>
+    import('@/features/posts/components/PostsList').then(
+        (module) => ({ default: module.PostsList }),
+    ),
+);
+
+export const Route = createFileRoute('/posts/')({
+    component: PostsPage,
+    // Define breadcrumb data
+    loader: () => ({
+        crumb: 'Posts',
+    }),
+});
+
+function PostsPage() {
+    return (
+        <PostsList
+            title='All Posts'
+            showFilters={true}
+        />
+    );
+}
+
+export default PostsPage;
+```
+
+**Key Points:**
+- Lazy load heavy components
+- `createFileRoute` with route path
+- `loader` for breadcrumb data
+- Page component renders content
+- Export both Route and component
+
+---
+
+## Lazy Loading Routes
+
+### Named Export Pattern
+
+```typescript
+import { lazy } from 'react';
+
+// For named exports, use .then() to map to default
+const MyPage = lazy(() =>
+    import('@/features/my-feature/components/MyPage').then(
+        (module) => ({ default: module.MyPage })
+    )
+);
+```
+
+### Default Export Pattern
+
+```typescript
+import { lazy } from 'react';
+
+// For default exports, simpler syntax
+const MyPage = lazy(() => import('@/features/my-feature/components/MyPage'));
+```
+
+### Why Lazy Load Routes?
+
+- Code splitting - smaller initial bundle
+- Faster initial page load
+- Load route code only when navigated to
+- Better performance
+
+---
+
+## createFileRoute
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+```typescript
+export const Route = createFileRoute('/my-route/')({
+    component: MyRoutePage,
+});
+
+function MyRoutePage() {
+    return <div>My Route Content</div>;
+}
+```
+
+### With Breadcrumb Loader
+
+```typescript
+export const Route = createFileRoute('/my-route/')({
+    component: MyRoutePage,
+    loader: () => ({
+        crumb: 'My Route Title',
+    }),
+});
+```
+
+Breadcrumb appears in navigation/app bar automatically.
+
+### With Data Loader
+
+```typescript
+export const Route = createFileRoute('/my-route/')({
+    component: MyRoutePage,
+    loader: async () => {
+        // Can prefetch data here
+        const data = await api.getData();
+        return { crumb: 'My Route', data };
+    },
+});
+```
+
+### With Search Params
+
+```typescript
+export const Route = createFileRoute('/search/')({
+    component: SearchPage,
+    validateSearch: (search: Record<string, unknown>) => {
+        return {
+            query: (search.query as string) || '',
+            page: Number(search.page) || 1,
+        };
+    },
+});
+
+function SearchPage() {
+    const { query, page } = Route.useSearch();
+    // Use query and page
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Dynamic Routes
+
+### Parameter Routes
+
+```typescript
+// routes/users/$userId.tsx
+
+export const Route = createFileRoute('/users/$userId')({
+    component: UserPage,
+});
+
+function UserPage() {
+    const { userId } = Route.useParams();
+
+    return <UserProfile userId={userId} />;
+}
+```
+
+### Multiple Parameters
+
+```typescript
+// routes/posts/$postId/comments/$commentId.tsx
+
+export const Route = createFileRoute('/posts/$postId/comments/$commentId')({
+    component: CommentPage,
+});
+
+function CommentPage() {
+    const { postId, commentId } = Route.useParams();
+
+    return <CommentEditor postId={postId} commentId={commentId} />;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Navigation
+
+### Programmatic Navigation
+
+```typescript
+import { useNavigate } from '@tanstack/react-router';
+
+export const MyComponent: React.FC = () => {
+    const navigate = useNavigate();
+
+    const handleClick = () => {
+        navigate({ to: '/posts' });
+    };
+
+    return <Button onClick={handleClick}>View Posts</Button>;
+};
+```
+
+### With Parameters
+
+```typescript
+const handleNavigate = () => {
+    navigate({
+        to: '/users/$userId',
+        params: { userId: '123' },
+    });
+};
+```
+
+### With Search Params
+
+```typescript
+const handleSearch = () => {
+    navigate({
+        to: '/search',
+        search: { query: 'test', page: 1 },
+    });
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## Route Layout Pattern
+
+### Root Layout (__root.tsx)
+
+```typescript
+import { createRootRoute, Outlet } from '@tanstack/react-router';
+import { Box } from '@mui/material';
+import { CustomAppBar } from '~components/CustomAppBar';
+
+export const Route = createRootRoute({
+    component: RootLayout,
+});
+
+function RootLayout() {
+    return (
+        <Box>
+            <CustomAppBar />
+            <Box sx={{ p: 2 }}>
+                <Outlet />  {/* Child routes render here */}
+            </Box>
+        </Box>
+    );
+}
+```
+
+### Nested Layouts
+
+```typescript
+// routes/dashboard/index.tsx
+export const Route = createFileRoute('/dashboard/')({
+    component: DashboardLayout,
+});
+
+function DashboardLayout() {
+    return (
+        <Box>
+            <DashboardSidebar />
+            <Box sx={{ flex: 1 }}>
+                <Outlet />  {/* Nested routes */}
+            </Box>
+        </Box>
+    );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Complete Route Example
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * User profile route
+ * Path: /users/:userId
+ */
+
+import { createFileRoute } from '@tanstack/react-router';
+import { lazy } from 'react';
+import { SuspenseLoader } from '~components/SuspenseLoader';
+
+// Lazy load heavy component
+const UserProfile = lazy(() =>
+    import('@/features/users/components/UserProfile').then(
+        (module) => ({ default: module.UserProfile })
+    )
+);
+
+export const Route = createFileRoute('/users/$userId')({
+    component: UserPage,
+    loader: () => ({
+        crumb: 'User Profile',
+    }),
+});
+
+function UserPage() {
+    const { userId } = Route.useParams();
+
+    return (
+        <SuspenseLoader>
+            <UserProfile userId={userId} />
+        </SuspenseLoader>
+    );
+}
+
+export default UserPage;
+```

+## Summary
+
+**Routing Checklist:**
+- ✅ Folder-based: `routes/my-route/index.tsx`
+- ✅ Lazy load components: `React.lazy(() => import())`
+- ✅ Use `createFileRoute` with route path
+- ✅ Add breadcrumb in `loader` function
+- ✅ Wrap in `SuspenseLoader` for loading states
+- ✅ Use `Route.useParams()` for dynamic params
+- ✅ Use `useNavigate()` for programmatic navigation
