 another page's URL pattern are reported as conflicts. The generated
 `routePatterns` export contains the discovered page paths.
 
+### Generated route types
+
+When the dev server starts and at the start of each build, the plugin writes
+`src/route-types.d.ts`. It rewrites the file whenever route files are added,
+removed, or renamed, and leaves it alone when nothing changed. The file lists
+every discovered page pattern and loader module. With it in your TypeScript
+project, `routePath`, `routePatterns`, and the hooks below only accept routes
+that exist, and your editor autocompletes them:
+
+```ts
+routePath("/users/:userId", { userId }); // OK
+routePath("/usres/:userId", { userId }); // Type error: unknown route pattern
+```
+
+Change the output path, or turn the file off, with the `dts` option. The path
+is relative to the Vite project root and must end in `.d.ts`:
+
+```ts
+plugins: [routes({ dts: "types/route-types.d.ts" })];
+plugins: [routes({ dts: false })];
+```
+
+Without the file, route patterns are typed as `string` and loader data as
+`unknown`, the same as before. You can commit the file so types work before
+the first dev run, or add it to `.gitignore`.
+
+### Typed params and loader data
+
+`virtual:route-helpers` also exports two hooks that wrap React Router's hooks
+with types taken from the route tree:
+
+- `useRouteParams(pattern)` returns `useParams()`, typed for that pattern.
+  Required params are `string`, optional params are `string | undefined`, and
+  a splat is a `string` under the `"*"` key.
+- `useRouteData(key)` returns `useRouteLoaderData()`, typed from the loader
+  module. The key is either a page pattern, which reads the loader in that
+  page's directory, or a loader route ID such as
+  `"file-route:src/pages/users/[userId]"`, which can read any matched loader,
+  including a parent's. It returns `undefined` when that route isn't matched,
+  just like React Router's hook.
+
+```tsx
+// src/pages/users/[userId]/loader.ts
+import type { LoaderFunctionArgs } from "react-router";
+
+export async function loader({ params }: LoaderFunctionArgs) {
+  return { name: await getUserName(params.userId!) };
+}
+
+// src/pages/users/[userId]/page.tsx
+import { useRouteData, useRouteParams } from "virtual:route-helpers";
+
+export default function UserPage() {
+  const { userId } = useRouteParams("/users/:userId"); // { userId: string }
+  const data = useRouteData("/users/:userId"); // { name: string } | undefined
+  return <h1>{data?.name ?? userId}</h1>;
+}
+```
+
+The `RouteParams<"/users/:userId">`, `RouteLoaderData<key>`, `RoutePattern`,
+and `RouteLoaderKey` types are exported from `@troyio/vite-file-router` for
+your own helpers. Loader data is typed the same way as React Router's
+`useRouteLoaderData<typeof loader>()`. JavaScript loader modules are typed as
+`any`. Both hooks throw if they're passed a pattern or key the plugin didn't
+discover.
+
+### Route preloading
+
+`virtual:routes` exports `preloadRoute(to, basename?)`. It matches a URL
+against the route tree and imports the page, layout, and loader modules of
+every matched route, so the next navigation there doesn't wait for those
+downloads. Error and action modules are left out, since they're only needed
+after an error or a form submission. Importing modules doesn't run loaders.
+Each module downloads once, however often you call it. The promise resolves to
+`false` when no route matches the URL.
+
+Call it when a user is likely to navigate, such as on link hover or focus:
+
+```tsx
+import { Link, type LinkProps } from "react-router";
+import { preloadRoute } from "virtual:routes";
+
+export function PreloadLink(props: LinkProps & { to: string }) {
+  const preload = () => void preloadRoute(props.to);
+  return <Link {...props} onMouseEnter={preload} onFocus={preload} />;
+}
+```
+
+If the router uses a `basename`, pass it as the second argument. `to` also
+accepts a partial location such as `{ pathname: "/users/42" }`.
