Best way to do optional path params (for i18n)? Virtual routes?
Hey everyone! We've been experimenting with Tanstack Start and Router for a frontend refactor of an app we have.
One of the requirements is optional path prefixes for i18n, i.e.
/todos/:id should be identical to /en/todos/:id if en is the fallback language, otherwise prefixes are specified for all other languages. Is there a way to achieve this with router?
We've been trying with virtual routes, but it seems codegen goes all over the place when you combine root-level virtual routes with Tanstack Start. With every combination we tried the codegen hangs trying to generate routes.1 Reply

tanstack router does not support optional path params yet
if you need this feature, please consider the following:
we always value contributions. so if you think you can implement this feature, please let us know.
however, I think in this particular case, especially getting the typings correct will be challenging.
getting this implemented could also be achieved by sponsoring the project / individual maintainers.
If this is a viable option for you, please get in touch as well.
