  • Mark Dalgleish explains their goal is to merge React's RSC work with React Router into a cohesive solution.
INSIGHT

Three Router Modes Explained

  • React Router exposes three modes: declarative, data, and framework, each increasing in framework-level features.
  • Framework mode adds bundler integration and server/client coordination that data mode leaves to user setup.
ADVICE

Experiment With RSC Data Mode Now

  • Try RSC data mode now to experiment with server components while framework-mode support is completed.
  • Expect framework mode to follow and provide an off-the-shelf Vite plugin experience later.
