🎯 Changes

Fixes #8505.

Route exports under automatic code splitting

Three forms of export in a route file were lost once autoCodeSplitting was on. The 16-case check from #8504 (hmr-exports.test.ts) passes on this branch with autoCodeSplitting: true and false.

  1. Exported classes. hasExport only knew function and variable declarations, so export class Layout {} used as a route option was treated as private, handed to the virtual route, and hit Unexpected splitNode type: ClassDeclaration. Classes are now recognised, in both export class and export default class form, and removeExports strips them from the split file like exported functions.

  2. Aliased exports. function Layout() {}; export { Layout as View } was not seen as an export either, so Layout was split away and View was left bound to nothing. Local export { name } and export { name as alias } specifiers now count as exports; the split file drops the matching specifier and keeps the rest of the statement.

  3. Shared functions with overload signatures. When a function used by both the reference file and a split group moves into the ?tsr-shared=1 module, removeSharedDeclarations removed the implementation but left the TypeScript overload signatures behind in the reference and split files. The TypeScript transform in Vite then treats those signatures as the file's own declaration of the name and drops the import from the shared module as unused, so calls throw and export { helper as helperAlias } resolves to undefined. Overload signatures now leave together with the implementation. The existing shared-runtime snapshots show the effect: the stray createState signature is gone and the unused createState import with it.

Snapshot fixtures for all three cases were added (shared-function-overloads, retain-exports-class, retain-exports-alias) and code-splitter-exports.test.ts loads each through the Vite dev pipeline and checks the exports against the route options.

Distinct re-export aliases in the Start compiler

extractModuleInfoFromAst keyed export { a as b } from './x' by the imported name a, so

export { wrap as allowed } from './server'
export { wrap as denied } from './client'

stored one binding for wrap and the second source won. In server output the allowed call was compiled as client-only and threw. Re-exports (including export * as ns from) are now keyed by the exported name, which is unique within a module, under a re-export: prefix so the key cannot shadow a local binding of the same name. The exports map points at that key, and every consumer reaches bindings through the exports map, so resolution and the identity checks in resolveKnownImportKind are unchanged.

Covered by two new compiler-helpers tests and a compiler regression test that mirrors the issue's barrel example.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Automatic route code splitting now preserves exported classes, aliased exports, and route options, and correctly handles shared function overloads.
    • Re-exports with the same name from different sources now resolve to the correct source, including across compiler environments.

…plitting and keep re-export aliases apart

Automatic code splitting dropped public exports of a route file in three
ways. An exported class used as a route option was not recognised as an
export, so the virtual route tried to split it and threw. A route option
exported through export { name as alias } was split as if it were private,
leaving the alias bound to nothing. And when a function with TypeScript
overload signatures moved into the shared module, the signatures stayed
behind in the reference and split files, where the TypeScript transform
reads them as a local declaration and drops the import from the shared
module, so both the function and its alias came back undefined.

Exported classes and local export specifiers are now retained like other
exported route options, and overload signatures leave with the shared
implementation.

In the Start compiler, module info keyed re-exports by their imported name,
so export { wrap as allowed } from './server' next to
export { wrap as denied } from './client' collapsed onto one source and a
server-only function was compiled as client-only. Re-exports are now keyed
by the exported name, which is unique within a module and cannot shadow a
local binding.

- Line 975: Update the transformation around hasExport and
removeModuleLevelDeclaration so a local declaration referenced by the split
loader remains resolvable when it has only a type export. Retain the binding or
establish a runtime export before removing it, and ensure the transformation
safely handles the type-only export before deleting the declaration.
- Around line 1807-1808: Update the export-reference tracking around hasExport
so it records whether each retained binding has a named or default runtime
export, then use that export kind when generating imports for the split loader.
Default-only bindings such as Layout must be imported through the default
export, while named exports retain their existing import behavior.

Walkthrough

The code splitter now handles additional route export forms and shared function overload declarations. Router utilities assign distinct binding keys to source-backed re-exports. Tests cover transformed route exports and compiler output for re-export aliases.

Changes: Split-route export handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Recognize and transform split-route exports
packages/router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts
Export detection and removal now cover classes and aliased local export specifiers. The compiler tracks exported names, imports unresolved references to split values from the original route module, and removes shared overload declarations.
Cover split-route export cases
packages/router-plugin/tests/code-splitter/test-files/react/*, packages/router-plugin/tests/code-splitter/snapshots/react/*
Fixtures and snapshots cover overloaded helpers, aliased route options, class components, shared-group exports, and multiple split configurations.
Exercise transformed route modules
packages/router-plugin/tests/code-splitter-exports.test.ts
Vite tests check overloaded exports and aliases, class components, route options, and loader results.

Source-specific re-export bindings

Layer / File(s) Summary
Assign distinct re-export binding keys
packages/router-utils/src/compiler-helpers.ts
Named and namespace source re-exports receive binding keys derived from their exported names. Declaration retention also checks named overload declarations.
Verify re-export binding resolution
packages/router-utils/tests/compiler-helpers.test.ts, packages/start-plugin-core/tests/compiler.test.ts, .changeset/shy-exports-remain.md
Tests cover re-exports from different sources, local-name conflicts, and server/client compiler output. The changeset records patch releases for both packages.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested labels: package: router-plugin, package: start-plugin-core

Suggested reviewers: schiller-manuel

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 3389a

Routes that use code splitting can break when a component is exported only as a default export or only as a type export and a sibling option such as the loader also uses it. The split chunk then fails to link at load time. Common named exports and aliased exports behave correctly. Fix these two edge cases, or document them as unsupported, before merging.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to e5f02

The change affects generated route exports, but the reviewed changes do not demonstrate a new security boundary or an expanded externally accessible entrypoint. Security coverage is incomplete, so the risk is not rated minimal.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#8505] has two coding objectives. Both are supported by the reviewed head.

[#8505] Route exports under React HMR and code splitting: hasExport and removeExports in compilers.ts now recognise class declarations, including export default class. Local export { name } and export { name as alias } specifiers count as exports. removeSharedDeclarations removes TSDeclareFunction overload signatures with their shared implementation. The follow-up commit 3389a88 makes split modules remove a local declaration of an aliased export and import that binding from the reference file under its exported name. Shared bindings stay with the shared-module import. Fixtures retain-exports-class, retain-exports-alias, retain-exports-alias-shared-group, and shared-function-overloads cover the three forms across the grouping variants. code-splitter-exports.test.ts loads them through the Vite pipeline and checks exports against route options.

[#8505] Distinct re-export aliases: in compiler-helpers.ts, source-backed named re-exports and export * as ns are keyed re-export:<exportedName>. exportMap maps each exported name to its own key. compiler-helpers.test.ts covers same-imported-name re-exports from different sources. The compiler.test.ts regression covers the server/client barrel example from the issue.

Limits on this assessment: the incremental diff of compilers.ts from the previous reviewed head could not be read because changed blobs are missing from the checkout. A full read of compilers.ts at head was truncated at 16000 bytes. The follow-up logic in 3389a88 is therefore supported by the supplied PR summary and fixture list, not by direct code reading. No test was executed in this review. The earlier PASS result is preserved for the unchanged code paths.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changes map to [#8505] or its supporting tests.

Source changes: compilers.ts (export detection, overload removal, aliased-export follow-up), compiler-helpers.ts (re-export: keys and retainModuleLevelDeclarations for TSDeclareFunction).

Tests and fixtures: code-splitter-exports.test.ts, compiler-helpers.test.ts, compiler.test.ts, and the retain-exports-*, shared-function-overloads, and shared-runtime snapshots and test files.

Changeset: a patch entry for @tanstack/router-utils and @tanstack/router-plugin.

One item needs a note, but it does not show an unrelated change. The shared-runtime@shared.tsx snapshots in the three grouping directories add an explicit return type to createState. The PR description does not explain this edit. It is a test-fixture output change in the shared-module snapshot, and the evidence does not show it is unconnected to the overload fix. No concrete unrelated product behavior is demonstrated.

…o the shared module

The shared module dropped the TypeScript overload signatures of a shared
function and exported only its implementation signature. Keep them next
to the implementation so the shared module exports the same signature set
as the source. Importing modules still drop them, where they would shadow
the import.

…rted component

A split node that shares a group with an exported component (for example
`loader: () => Layout.name` next to `component: Layout`) lost its
reference: the exported declaration is removed from the virtual module
and nothing imported it back. The virtual module now imports such
bindings from the reference file.

An exported class component that is also a shared binding made the
virtual compiler throw "Unexpected splitNode type: ClassDeclaration".
Class declarations are now handled like function declarations.

Preserve aliased exported bindings in dependent split modules.

When Layout is exported only as PublicLayout and a split loader references Layout, removeExports removes the alias export but leaves the local declaration. The scope check then finds that local binding, so the loader module does not import the route's binding. DCE retains the declaration because the loader references it. The loader can therefore use a second Layout identity instead of the reference module's PublicLayout.

Track the local-to-exported alias and generate import { PublicLayout as Layout } in the virtual module after removing the local declaration.

… of copying them

When a component is exported under another name (`export { Layout as
PublicLayout }`), `removeExports` dropped the export specifier but left
the `function Layout` declaration in the split module. A loader in the same
group that referred to `Layout` then kept its own copy of the component
instead of the one the reference file exports. With shared bindings the
leftover declaration also collided with the shared-module import and the
virtual compile threw "Duplicate declaration".

The split module now drops the retained declaration and imports it from
the reference file under its exported name (`import { PublicLayout as
Layout }`), and skips bindings the shared module already provides.

Follow-up on the aliased-export note from the last review (export { Layout as PublicLayout } with a loader in the same group referring to Layout): confirmed and fixed in 3389a88.

removeExports only dropped the export specifier, so the function Layout declaration stayed in the split module and the loader kept a second copy of the component. When Layout was also a shared binding, that leftover declaration collided with the import from the shared module and the virtual compile threw Duplicate declaration "Layout".

The virtual compiler now drops the retained declaration and imports it from the reference file under its exported name (import { PublicLayout as Layout } from '<route>'), and leaves shared bindings to the shared-module import. New fixture retain-exports-alias-shared-group covers the alias case across all three groupings; no existing snapshot changed.

Keep a binding that has only a type export available to import.

For export type { Layout } with component: Layout and a split loader that references Layout, hasExport treats the type export as a reason to retain the declaration in the reference route. This line removes the virtual module’s declaration, but the later named import cannot obtain a runtime value from that type-only export. The split loader fails to load. Preserve a resolvable binding or arrange a runtime export before removing the declaration. Based on learnings, local type-only exports are binding-retention requirements until the transformation rewrites them safely.

Update the transformation around hasExport and removeModuleLevelDeclaration so a
local declaration referenced by the split loader remains resolvable when it has
only a type export. Retain the binding or establish a runtime export before
removing it, and ensure the transformation safely handles the type-only export
before deleting the declaration.

Import default-only bindings through their default export.

If a route uses component: Layout, loader: () => Layout.name, and export default Layout, hasExport retains Layout in the reference route. The virtual compiler then removes its local declaration. This fallback records Layout, so Line 1230 generates a named import that the reference route does not export. The split loader cannot load. Track whether the binding has a named or default runtime export, and generate the matching import.

Update the export-reference tracking around hasExport so it records whether each

Layout must be imported through the default export, while named exports retain
their existing import behavior.
