Mastering Route-Centric Layouts with TanStack Router
In the world of modern web development, the complexity of our React applications often hinges on one critical piece: routing. How we handle different page layouts—like a main app layout with a sidebar, a simple public layout for login pages, or a full-screen marketing layout—can make or break our codebase's maintainability.
