Upgrading Remix v2 to React Router v7

[TangoYankee]

Description

The same team develops both Remix and React Router. As they've experimented with Server Side Rendering in Remix, they have integrated their lessons-learned into React-Router. On Nov 22, 2024, they announced the full merger of the two libraries into React Router v7. Though we are required to switch from Remix to React Router to upgrade, the two libraries are meant as continuations of each other. Upgrading should not be no more daunting than a typical front end library upgrade.

The Remix upgrade guide provides step-by-step instructions.

Routing

We do have a decision to make on Routing. In React Router 7, file-based routing has changed from the default to opt-in with an external library. The new default is a router.ts file to define routes and the associated files. Personally, I find it tedious to write path names into routes. I would like to try a router.ts file, instead. How do other folks feel?
