Disclaimer: This PR has been created with GTP 5.6 Sol after investigating opral/paraglide-js#739.

What changed

  • generate TanStack Router URL rewrites when the Paraglide add-on is selected
  • generate a TanStack Start server entry wrapped in paraglideMiddleware
  • add regression coverage for both integration points and a patch changeset

Why

The Paraglide add-on generated locale-switching UI, but omitted the URL rewrite and server middleware shown in the official TanStack i18n setup. A switch to German navigated to /de, which the router treated as an unmatched route, while SSR continued rendering the fallback locale. The resulting server/client disagreement caused not-found warnings and hydration failures on every locale switch.

Related: opral/paraglide-js#739

Validation

  • repository pre-commit hook: all 10 project builds passed
  • unit suites: 32 files / 251 tests in @tanstack/create, and 7 files / 101 tests in @tanstack/cli
  • blocking Playwright suite: 7 tests passed
  • generated a local React + Paraglide scaffold and verified src/router.tsx and src/server.ts

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Generated React projects with the Paraglide add-on now support localized TanStack Router URLs and apply localization middleware to incoming requests.
    • Server configuration supports localized request handling on Vercel and Cloudflare.
  • Updates

    • The Paraglide demo no longer displays a spinning logo or passes a preset username to its example message.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for generating localized router and server configurations.

Walkthrough

The Paraglide add-on generates localized TanStack Router rewrites and applies request middleware in generated server entries. Host templates select or configure those entries. A generation test checks the wiring, and a changeset requests patch releases.

Changes: Paraglide integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Localized router rewrites
packages/create/src/frameworks/react/project/base/src/router.tsx.ejs
When Paraglide is enabled, the generated router imports URL localization helpers, de-localizes input URLs, and localizes output URLs.
Server middleware and host entry points
packages/create/src/frameworks/react/add-ons/paraglide/assets/src/server.ts.ejs, packages/create/src/frameworks/react/hosts/vercel/assets/src/server.ts.ejs, packages/create/src/frameworks/react/hosts/cloudflare/assets/src/worker.ts.ejs, packages/create/src/frameworks/react/hosts/cloudflare/assets/wrangler.jsonc.ejs
Generated server entries apply Paraglide middleware before the TanStack handler when enabled. Cloudflare templates select the generated server entry for Paraglide projects.
Generation test and supporting updates
packages/create/tests/paraglide-addon.test.ts, packages/create/src/frameworks/react/add-ons/paraglide/assets/src/routes/demo.i18n.tsx.ejs, .changeset/fuzzy-ravens-route.md
The test checks generated router rewrites and middleware wiring. The demo removes the logo and username argument. The changeset requests patch releases for @tanstack/create and @tanstack/cli.

Preserve the page locale for server-function requests.

TanStack Start sends server-function calls to /_serverFn/.... The middleware resolves that request separately from the document request. With only url and baseLocale, a call from a German page can fall back to en, so translated server-function results can differ from the page locale. Add the server-visible cookie and preferred-language fallbacks used by the official TanStack Start Paraglide example.
