React Router Template Dep Bump

Use this when updating React Router dependencies in react-router-templates.

Run these commands from the repo root.

1. Confirm the current pins

rg -n '(@react-router/[^@\" ]+@|react-router@|"(?:react-router|@react-router/[^"]+)"\s*:)' . \
  --glob '!**/node_modules/**' \
  --glob '!pnpm-lock.yaml' \
  --glob '!deno.lock'

This repo has both Node and Deno templates. Do not limit the search to package.json files: the Deno template pins React Router packages in deno/deno.jsonc, including both task commands such as deno run -A npm:@react-router/dev@x.y.z ... and import-map entries such as "react-router": "npm:react-router@x.y.z".

2. Resolve the latest published React Router versions

pnpm view react-router version
pnpm view <currently-used-@react-router-package> version

Run the second command once for each @react-router/* package currently used in the template pins from step 1. Use the shared latest version across that family when they match.

3. Update the pinned versions in every affected template

Update all matching pins for react-router and every currently used @react-router/* dependency:

  • package.json entries in Node-based templates
  • deno/deno.jsonc task command pins and import-map entries

Check the touched files with:

git diff --name-only

4. Refresh the lockfile

pnpm install

If deno/deno.jsonc changed, also refresh Deno's local install/lock metadata:

deno install

deno/deno.lock is intentionally untracked in this repo. Do not add it unless the repository starts tracking it separately.

5. Run the Playwright tests

Install the browser if needed:

pnpm --dir .tests playwright install chromium

Then run the suite:

pnpm --dir .tests test

If Chromium fails to launch with a macOS sandbox error like MachPortRendezvousServer ... Permission denied, rerun the same test command outside the sandbox or with elevated permissions.

6. Sanity check the diff

git status --short
git diff --stat

Expected result:

  • template package.json files and deno/deno.jsonc updated to one React Router version
  • pnpm-lock.yaml refreshed
  • deno/deno.lock not added unless it was already tracked
  • pnpm --dir .tests test passes

7. Report other outdated packages

After the React Router bump is complete and tests pass, run:

pnpm outdated -r --format json

Reply with the remaining outdated packages grouped by update type:

  • major
  • minor
  • patch

Then ask whether the user wants to update any of those packages next.
