Instead of having to declare one param matcher per file, you now declare all of them within one file. A defineParams function both helps with declaring them in a type-safe way and also normalizes the property values: You can either parse a standard schema object, or a function that either throws or returns the parsed value (if you don't want to bring in a schema library).

closes #10407

Kudos to @phi-bre for suggesting this in #16148 (comment)

basically implements #10407 (comment):
- new `parse` function can be exported from `params/someMatcher.js`
- can be either alongside `match` or standalone
- if it throws it counts as invalid and the route will not be matched

closes #10407
match can now also be a standard schema. If it parses you get the transformed value. If it throws it counts as invalid and the route will not be matched.

…`'~standard'` property, so callable Standard Schemas (e.g. ArkType) are misclassified as plain predicate functions, breaking validation and transformation.

This commit fixes the issue reported at packages/kit/src/utils/routing.js:139

## Bug

`ParamMatcher` is typed as `((param: string) => boolean) | StandardSchemaV1<string, any>`. Several headline Standard Schema implementations expose their schema as a **callable function that also carries a `'~standard'` property**. ArkType is the canonical example:

```js
const t = type('string.numeric.parse');
t('42');            // → 42 (parsed value, or an ArkErrors object on failure)
t['~standard'].validate('42'); // also available
```

In the original `run_matcher`, the `typeof matcher === 'function'` branch comes first:

```js
if (typeof matcher === 'function') {
	return matcher(value) ? { success: true, value } : { success: false };
}
if ('~standard' in matcher) { ... }
```

Because an ArkType schema is a function, it never reaches the `'~standard'` branch. Instead `matcher(value)` is called and its return value treated as a boolean:

- **Invalid input**: ArkType returns a truthy `ArkErrors` object → treated as a *successful* match, and the raw, untransformed string is stored as the param value. The route matches when it should not.
- **Valid input that transforms to a falsy value** (e.g. `0`, empty string): the truthiness check fails → the route is incorrectly rejected.

So both validation and transformation are broken for callable Standard Schemas.

## Fix

Reorder the checks so `'~standard'` is tested first. `'~standard' in matcher` works on functions too (functions are objects), so a callable Standard Schema is now routed through the proper `validate` path. Plain predicate functions lack the `'~standard'` property and correctly fall through to the function branch.

```js
function run_matcher(matcher, value) {
	if ('~standard' in matcher) {
		const result = matcher['~standard'].validate(value);
		if (result instanceof Promise || result.issues) {
			return { success: false };
		}
		return { success: true, value: result.value };
	}

	if (typeof matcher === 'function') {
		return matcher(value) ? { success: true, value } : { success: false };
	}

	return { success: false };
}
```

…cing the invalid path `src/params/.js` instead of `src/params.js`.

This commit fixes the issue reported at packages/kit/src/core/sync/write_types/index.js:605

## Bug

In `generate_params_type` (`write_types/index.js:606`) and the identical logic in `write_non_ambient.js:101`, the fallback used when `resolve_entry` returns `null` was:

```js
path.join(config.kit.files.params.replace(/.(js|ts)$/, ''), '.js');
```

`config.kit.files.params` defaults to `path.join(files.src, 'params')` → `src/params` (no extension). The `.replace(/.(js|ts)$/, '')` is a no-op there, and `path.join('src/params', '.js')` inserts a path separator, yielding `src/params/.js`. Even when the config value has an extension (e.g. `src/params.ts`), the replace strips it to `src/params` and `path.join` again yields `src/params/.js`.

Verified with Node:

```
$ node -e "console.log(require('path').join('src/params', '.js'))"
src/params/.js
```

### Trigger / impact

When a route references a matcher but `resolve_entry(config.kit.files.params)` returns `null` (params file not found at resolution time), the generated `$types`/app-types contain an import from the broken path `src/params/.js` instead of `src/params.js`, producing invalid type imports.

## Fix

Replaced `path.join(base, '.js')` with string concatenation `base + '.js'` in both locations:

```js
config.kit.files.params.replace(/.(js|ts)$/, '') + '.js';
```

Verified output is now `src/params.js` for both `src/params` and `src/params.ts` inputs.

Hello,

Two remarks.

  • Did the resolve() will be correctly typed ?

For example if I have this params :

export const params = defineParams({
  details: v.picklist(['min', 'standard', 'max']);
});

I think this should be typed accordingly :

resolve('/info/[details=details]', { details: 'min' }); // OK
resolve('/info/[details=details]', { details: 'minimum' }); // Type Error
  • It would be nice to have an optional format() method to complement parse().
    This method would be used by resolve() to build the URL

For example, if I have bigint as uid, and I want to use it as hexadecimal on the URL :

export const params = defineParams({
  uid: {
    // parse the uid as a hexa BigInt :
    parse: v.pipe(v.string(),v.transform((value) => BigInt(`0x${value}`)),
    // format the BigInt in hexa
    format: (value) => value.toString(16)
   }
});

Food for thought, param.ts in singular form.

Though prior art is mixed:

  • /params/[matcher].ts
  • env.ts
  • routes
  • hooks.ts

this is better than what we currently got. one question though, will this feature be backported to kit v2 behind an experimental flag? docs dont mention anything about that

param.ts in singular form.

that wouldn't really make sense. hooks, routes, params are all plural. env isn't, because it's describing the environment as a whole, rather than multiple environments

Additional Suggestion:

A throwing param matcher breaks client-side navigation (silent no-op / unhandled promise rejection) even though the server handles the same throw gracefully, creating a server/client asymmetry introduced by commit f5479de.

Vercel is right, but I don't see a good way how we can sensibly handle this. We could fall back to a full page reload to get the better error message eventually that way.

// in function navigate(...)
	try {
		intent ??= await get_navigation_intent(url, false);
	} catch {
		// Likely a matcher threw unexpectedly. Fall back to the server to get a proper error page.
		return await native_navigation(url, replace_state);
	}

Anything more would mean polluting the whole navigation code for such an edge case and that is not worth it. It should never happen anyway.
