Generate type for Layout export component props in the root route

[silvenon]

This would be a small addition to type generation, but the root route also supports the Layout export, it would be nice if generates types for the root route included LayoutComponentProps or whatever you'd like to name it.

Or just have the docs at least say that the props are just { children: React.ReactNode } evem?

This could also be a interface RR exports

import { LayoutProps } from "react-router";
export function Layout(props: LayoutProps) {
  // use props
}

That way you don't have to type it yourself, risking a future change may introduce a change to the layout props, but also it's not tied to a route.

[silvenon]

True that. On the other hand tying it to the route would make it clear that it can't be used elsewhere because it wouldn't be generated for other routes even if you export it. It's an opportunity for a small safety net, perhaps unnecessary.

[sergiodxa]

I think it would be nice if Layout component worked on any routes actually, not just in root, so you can have a shared layout between a route UI and error boundary.

Good point!
