fix(router-plugin): throw on autoCodeSplitting with esbuild - #8852
With esbuild, tanstackRouter({ autoCodeSplitting: true }) silently produced an unsplit bundle: every route component ended up in the entry and the user got no warning. The esbuild plugin now refuses instead:
tanstackRouter / TanStackRouterEsbuild throws when autoCodeSplitting is enabled.
TanStackRouterCodeSplitterEsbuild always throws.
Route generation with esbuild is unchanged (autoCodeSplitting unset or false, or TanStackRouterGeneratorEsbuild).
This is a standalone piece extracted from #8817. The code matches that PR wherever it applies to main, to keep conflicts small. The PR's restructure of the esbuild composed plugin is left out.
Changes
packages/router-plugin/src/esbuild.ts: the refusal, as described above.
Docs: installation/with-esbuild.md (examples no longer set autoCodeSplitting, plus a note about it), api/file-based-routing.md and guide/automatic-code-splitting.md (state which bundlers support the option).
packages/router-plugin/skills/router-plugin/SKILL.md: the esbuild example no longer sets autoCodeSplitting, plus a note about it.
The esbuild e2e configs (react/solid/vue) and quickstart examples (react/solid) no longer set autoCodeSplitting: true.
New test packages/router-plugin/tests/esbuild.test.ts and a patch changeset.
Validation
@tanstack/router-plugin: test:unit, test:types and test:eslint pass. Before the fix, the new test failed 2 of its 3 cases.
I ran a real esbuild build of the react quickstart example with the updated config, and it succeeds. With autoCodeSplitting: true, the plugin throws the new error.
Enabling automatic code splitting with Esbuild now produces a clear error instead of implying that splitting is supported. Esbuild route generation remains available when automatic code splitting is disabled.
Documentation
Clarified that automatic code splitting is supported with Vite, Rspack/Rsbuild, and Webpack, but not Esbuild.
Updated Esbuild examples to omit the unsupported option and describe alternatives for splitting routes, including manual splitting or using another bundler.
The esbuild plugin silently bundled every route without splitting when
`autoCodeSplitting` was enabled. It now throws a clear error, and
`TanStackRouterCodeSplitterEsbuild` always throws. Route generation is
unchanged. Extracted from #8817.

Walkthrough
The esbuild plugin now throws when automatic code splitting is enabled, while route generation remains available. Documentation and esbuild examples reflect this restriction.
The plugin rejects autoCodeSplitting: true, and TanStackRouterCodeSplitterEsbuild always throws. Tests cover these errors and confirm route generation still works without automatic code splitting.
The documentation describes esbuild’s restriction. The esbuild examples and test configurations no longer enable automatic code splitting. A patch changeset records the behavior.
A supported function-valued configuration can still enable unsupported automatic code splitting without the intended error, so this should be fixed before merging.

Explanation
The title names the main change: the esbuild router plugin now throws when autoCodeSplitting is enabled. It matches the changeset, the esbuild plugin source, and the stated objective of PR #8852. The title uses the conventional fix(router-plugin) prefix and is specific.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template. It has a Summary section that explains the change and its motivation, a Changes section that lists the modified files, and a Validation section with test and build results. It does not use the template's Checklist or Release Impact sections. The author also does not disclose AI authorship in the way the template's AI-authored PR rules request, although the footer notes that the text was generated with Claude Code. The description has the required content, so it passes. The missing checklist and release-impact sections are not critical.

The current assertions cover plugin construction only. They do not cover the retained behavior that the esbuild entrypoints include route generation. A regression that removes the router-generator plugin can therefore pass this test. Invoke the generator with an existing fixture or assert the generated route-tree output. This adds coverage without claiming that current route generation fails.

Extend the “accepts route generation without code splitting” test beyond
plugin-construction checks by invoking TanStackRouterGeneratorEsbuild with an
existing fixture and asserting the generated route-tree output. Keep the current
construction assertions and verify that the esbuild entrypoint performs route
generation.

Resolve function-valued options once before checking them.
If an options callback returns autoCodeSplitting: false on its first call and true on its second, refuseSplitting accepts it. The composed plugin then enables the code splitter without the intended error. Pass the same resolved options to both the check and the composed plugin. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Resolve function-valued options once in the esbuild plugin setup, then pass that
same resolved options object to both refuseSplitting and the composed plugin.
Avoid invoking the options callback separately for validation and plugin
construction.

Add an inference regression for the exported return type.
TanStackRouterCodeSplitterEsbuild now exposes never, but the existing runtime throw test does not protect that public type. Add a *.test-d.* assertion for the exported return type.

Review comment at @packages/router-plugin/src/esbuild.ts at line 55:
Add a type-level assertion in a *.test-d.* file for the exported return type of
TanStackRouterCodeSplitterEsbuild. Base the asserted type on the intended public
API contract so the test catches future inference changes; the existing runtime
throw test does not verify this type.

⚠️2 benchmarks with a significant change ran on different hardware
Their base and head results were measured on machines with a different CPU, core count or memory, so the changes might not come from the code. Run base and head on the same runner type.
Main landed parts of this PR separately against the old compiler
(#8851, #8852, #8853, #8855, #8856) and re-enabled the router-utils unit
tests (#8849): the PR already has each of them. The old-compiler files
main edited stay deleted; the entries keep the PR's implementation (same
esbuild error message). Main's changesets stay; the duplicated bullets
leave the PR's router-plugin, route generator and compiler core
changesets. The router plugin skill takes main's esbuild wording.
#8857 (route-group layouts typed with full path '/'): the PR's generator
already types them '/'. Main's test that a childless `_auth.tsx` next to
the index route conflicts is dropped: SPEC J1.15 makes that pair valid
here (route-paths.test.ts checks it through the router).
