loader for nested route components

If I have a route which has several child components and each component requires some data loading, how can I add loader functions to child components? do I load data the traditional way with useQuery or should I load all data in the route and pass it to each child? or is there a better way? 
 /route-a:
    <ChildComponent/> // requires data loading
    <ChildComponent2/> // requires data loading

only the route has the loader function
 /route-a:
    <ChildComponent/> // requires data loading
    <ChildComponent2/> // requires data loading

only the route has the loader function

If you are already using TanStack Query, then you can just load the data at /route-a, and call useSuspenseQuery on the child routes for it.
