sharing routeType.ts between pages question

[smndtrl]

What is the correct approach to share route types between pages that share a common dynamic path? All my paths are prefix with tenantId and spaceId and I think it would make sense to to import { Route, type RouteType } from "../routeType"; for the different pages. The resulting typedefs look like the following when I don't put a routeType.ts into each and every single directory. Did I misunderstand how to properly use it?

For now I used symlinks instead of creating duplicates of the routeType.ts in the [spaceId] directory to not make the routes StaticRoute

  interface DynamicRouter {
    "/tenant/[tenantId]/space/[spaceId]": InferRoute<import("./app/(main)/(ui)/(error)/tenant/[tenantId]/space/[spaceId]/routeType").RouteType>;
  }

  interface StaticRouter {
    "/tenant/[tenantId]/space/[spaceId]/connections": StaticRoute;
    "/tenant/[tenantId]/space/[spaceId]/environment": StaticRoute;
    "/tenant/[tenantId]/space/[spaceId]/secrets": StaticRoute;
    "/tenant/[tenantId]/space/[spaceId]/settings": StaticRoute;
    "/tenant/[tenantId]/space/[spaceId]/users": StaticRoute;
  }

Sorry for the the late response,

I think you should probably still aim to have a routeType.ts for every route, just like you have a page.tsx for every route. You can define the schema in one place and import it in each file.

I see how its a bit repitive but im not sure symlinking is a superior solution, but let me know how things go
