Layout route

I have a route /account that has two children so /account/settings and /account/edit. I'm using file based routing:

routes/
├── account/
│   ├── route.tsx
│   ├── settings.tsx
│   ├── edit.tsx

routes/
├── account/
│   ├── route.tsx
│   ├── settings.tsx
│   ├── edit.tsx

What I want is the route /account to not be reachable but only child routes and keep account in the url. I tried to redirect to /account/settings in the route.tsx file in a loader or beforeLoad but it gives me an error of too many redirects so I ended up with this solution so if user want to access /account the notFound component is rendered

routes/
├── _account/
│   ├── route.tsx
│   ├── account/
│      ├── settings.tsx
│      ├── edit.tsx

routes/
├── _account/
│   ├── route.tsx
│   ├── account/
│      ├── settings.tsx
│      ├── edit.tsx

Not sure that this is the right way, maybe someone could give me some advice here ? thanks

Try adding routes/account/index.tsx and redirect to settings in beforeLoad About the too many redirects, I think going from /account to /account/setting will make the beforeLoad of /account run again, causing an infinite loop, if you check the current url and only redirect if it's exactly /account maybe it will work without the index file

OK, both solutions work ! Thank you !

I've done something like this as well, it works, however I am trying to get the tabs in the index.tsx to show, and added an <outlet> but it just goes to the parameter page no tab
