Default child route for layout route
I have a layout route that renders some tabs that switch between several child routes. Let's say we have
/parent, then /parent/tab1 and /parent/tab2.
Now, I don't want the index route to ever be rendered - the user should be redirected to /parent/tab1 by default if they attempt to visit /parent. I can achieve this by throwing a redirect in the beforeLoad and looking at the location there, but this is not typesafe.
Can I find out if no child route is matched? Or can I provide a fallback for the Outlet? I've looked at the documentation and didn't find anything.1 Reply

beforeLoad has matches object that you can use to get "latest" match (meaning either this route or child route, assuming this route has only 1 level of children) and then compare match.routeId with Route.id.
I am not sure if this is a good pattern to directly use Route though
