TypeError with Link component

I am using file based routing and I have a home page under "/home" and the following code in my navigation component:

import {Link} from '@tanstack/react-router'

const Nav = () => {
    return (
        <nav>
            <Link to="/home">Home</Link>
        </nav>
    )

import {Link} from '@tanstack/react-router'

const Nav = () => {
    return (
        <nav>
            <Link to="/home">Home</Link>
        </nav>
    )

I followed the docs but still get the following error: "Element Link doesn't have required attribute search ". I think this might be a bug because the type for the search property is search: true | {} | ((current: {}) => {}) | undefined.

Navigation | TanStack Router React Docs

Everything is Relative Believe it or not, every navigation within an app is relative, even if you aren't using explicit relative path syntax (../../somewhere). Any time a link is clicked or an imperative navigation call is made, you will always have an origin path and a destination path which means you are navigating from one route to another ...

Does the home route have a required searchParam ?

wise-whiteOP•16mo ago

No. The route code was added automatically when I added the file and I didn't change anything.

did you register the router as described here? https://tanstack.com/router/latest/docs/framework/react/quick-start#srcmaintsx

// Register the router instance for type safety
declare module '@tanstack/react-router' {
  interface Register {
    router: typeof router
  }
}

// Register the router instance for type safety
declare module '@tanstack/react-router' {
  interface Register {
    router: typeof router
  }
}

If you're feeling impatient and prefer to skip all of our wonderful documentation, here is the bare minimum to get going with TanStack Router using both file-based route generation and code-based route configuration: Using File-Based Route Generation + Vite

if yes, please try creating a minimal complete reproducer by forking one of the existing examples on stackblitz

I had a quick go and I cannot replicate this. Do you have any different TS settings?

wise-whiteOP•16mo ago

yes, i registered the router like in the example above. I'll try and send you a link. @Chris Horobin these are my ts settings:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES2020",
    "useDefineForClassFields": true,
    "lib": ["ES2020", "DOM", "DOM.Iterable"],
    "module": "ESNext",
    "skipLibCheck": true,

    /* Bundler mode */
    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
    "allowImportingTsExtensions": true,
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "isolatedModules": true,
    "noEmit": true,
    "jsx": "react-jsx",

    /* Linting */
    "strict": true,

I don't see anything odd here. Do you have other routes with search params?

wise-whiteOP•16mo ago

No, I don't use search params for this app.

exotic-emerald•16mo ago

You ran the generator after the file was added? What TS version? Might need a reproduction. I'm going to be changing the types for optional/required soon so hopefully this might fix the issue

wise-whiteOP•16mo ago

I tried to reproduce it with a new version and it was not a problem anymore. Sorry, I didnt realize there were new minor versions. I updated my project too and the type error is gone with 1.34.9. Thx for the help :)
