I'll be the first one to ask: Any timeline for a TanStack Start RC?
Hello,
I'd like to ask if there will be an RC or v1 soon?

Still TBD as far as I know
I think probably want to get off Vinxi first

This is taking a while. Will probably skip Start for my next big project at work, then.

news on this ? @brenelz

The main branch is off Vinxi now but still not sure when an RC will happen

did you recomend use tanstack start on prod now ?

We use it and it works great. If you are ok with migrating some stuff if changes appear, since the api isn’t fully stable, it shouldn’t be a problem

Any gotchas/takeaways to consider? We have an app in production with tanstack router. Now we need to migrate to tanstack start for SEO purposes

Hmm. Not really. We just have a _auth layout where we check the session. And then, in any route, in the loader we use tanstack query with prefetchQuery and then inside the route itself, useSuspenseQuery and useMutation (all those are calling a start server function). And that’s it. Pretty easy. We write actual app code now instead of fighting the framework like we did on other apps with next

In loaders do you use ensureQueryData ? If so, in the component do you use useQuery or useSuspenseQuery?

In loaders I use prefetchQuery if I don’t need the data in the loader. Or ensureQueryData if I need it
Ex: I use prefetch if there is a single query, or multiple independent ones. But if I need a response from query1 to put inside the query2 values, then I use ensure
And for query vs suspense, I usually useSuspense with the pending and error component from the route. Or if I have multiple parts on the route that I want to have individual loaders, I usually useQuery directly inside that specific component and have the loader/error inside.
I feel using suspense in those cases forces me to add Suspense + error boundary outside of that component and I feel it complicates stuff
With useQuery I have the loader/error colocated with the component code. Not directly in the parent
But if I don’t need multiple loaders, then useSuspense all the way. And display the pendingComponent from the route
