How to make search params optional and rely on zod .catch() for default ?
Hello !
When defining routes we can use validateSearch combined with zod schemas in order to type the route search, however this schema cannot be undefined and while we can set defaults with catch(), we are still required to provide said search params when navigating with Link or navigate() and it is a bit tedious
Is there a clean approach to make search params optionnal for navigation ?
Cheers ! 🙂

SearchSchemaInput type | TanStack Router React Docs
The SearchSchemaInput type is used to tag the input type of a validateSearch method to signalize to TanStack router that its parameter type TSearchSchemaInput shall be used to type the search param of
