# Vite + TanStack Configuration Guide

Provides configuration references for TanStack libraries in a Vite + React + TypeScript project.

## Modules

Four optional modules — load only what's needed:

| Module | What it covers |
|--------|---------------|
| **router** | Vite plugin, createRouter, RouterProvider, type registration, VSCode settings |
| **query** | QueryClient init, QueryClientProvider |
| **form** | Form provider setup |
| **table** | react-table initialization |

All modules share a unified DevTools setup via `@tanstack/react-devtools` + `@tanstack/devtools-vite`.

## Argument Parsing

From `$ARGUMENTS`:
- Module names: `router`, `query`, `form`, `table` (space-separated, any combination)
- `all` — load all four modules
- No arguments — ask user which modules they need using AskUserQuestion (multiSelect)

**Examples:**
- `/vite-tanstack router query` → load router.md + query.md
- `/vite-tanstack all` → load all four references
- `/vite-tanstack` → ask which modules are needed

## Shared Configuration

### Package Dependencies

**dependencies:**
```
@tanstack/react-devtools
@tanstack/react-router           (if router)
@tanstack/react-router-devtools  (if router)
@tanstack/react-query            (if query)
@tanstack/react-query-devtools   (if query)
@tanstack/react-form             (if form)
@tanstack/react-form-devtools    (if form)
@tanstack/react-table            (if table)
```

**devDependencies:**
```
@tanstack/devtools-vite
@tanstack/router-plugin          (if router)
```

### Vite Plugin: Unified DevTools

In `vite.config.ts`, always register the devtools plugin:

```ts
import { devtools } from '@tanstack/devtools-vite';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    devtools({
      removeDevtoolsOnBuild: true,
    }),
    // ... other plugins
  ],
});
```

### main.tsx: TanStackDevtools Component

In `main.tsx`, the `TanStackDevtools` component wraps all module-specific devtools panels as plugins:

```tsx
import { TanStackDevtools } from '@tanstack/react-devtools';

// Inside render tree:
<TanStackDevtools
  plugins={[
    // Add each module's devtools panel as a plugin here
    // See individual module references for specifics
  ]}
/>
```

**Component nesting order:** `QueryClientProvider` wraps `TanStackDevtools` + `RouterProvider`. Each module reference shows its specific position.

## Module References

Load these based on requested modules:

- **Router**: See [references/router.md](references/router.md) for Vite plugin, router creation, type registration, VSCode settings, and Router DevTools panel
- **Query**: See [references/query.md](references/query.md) for QueryClient initialization, provider setup, and Query DevTools panel
- **Form**: See [references/form.md](references/form.md) for Form provider setup and Form DevTools panel
- **Table**: See [references/table.md](references/table.md) for react-table initialization

## Compliance Checklist

When reviewing or writing TanStack config code, verify:

- [ ] `@tanstack/devtools-vite` plugin registered in `vite.config.ts` with `removeDevtoolsOnBuild: true`
- [ ] `TanStackDevtools` component present in render tree with appropriate module panels
- [ ] Each module's provider is registered in correct nesting order
- [ ] TypeScript module augmentation declared for router (if using router)
- [ ] VSCode settings configured for generated files (if using router)
