FileRoute class

The FileRoute class is a factory that can be used to create a file-based route instance. This route instance can then be used to automatically generate a route tree with the tsr generate and tsr watch commands.

The FileRoute constructor accepts a single argument: the path of the file that the route will be generated for.

• Type: string literal
• Required, but automatically inserted and updated by the tsr generate and tsr watch commands.
• The full path of the file that the route will be generated from.

• An instance of the FileRoute class that can be used to create a route.

The FileRoute class implements the following method(s):

The createRoute method is a method that can be used to configure the file route instance. It accepts a single argument: the options that will be used to configure the file route instance.

• Type: Omit<RouteOptions, 'getParentRoute' | 'path' | 'id'>
• RouteOptions
• Optional
• The same options that are available to the Route class, but with the getParentRoute, path, and id options omitted since they are unnecessary for file-based routing.

A Route instance that can be used to configure the route to be inserted into the route-tree.

⚠️ Note: For tsr generate and tsr watch to work properly, the file route instance must be exported from the file using the Route identifier.
