chore: switch to tinyglobby

[benmccann]

fast-glob has 17 dependencies compared to just two for tinyglobby

Vite uses tinyglobby so it's already in the dependency tree. nitropack v3 does as well, so once the upgrade to the latest nitropack happens, tanstack will be fully on tinyglobby

Walkthrough

Replaces fast-glob with tinyglobby in router-utils: updates package.json dependency and switches the import and usage in copy-files-plugin.ts to use tinyglobby’s glob function. No API or behavior changes beyond the library swap.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary of Changes
Dependency update packages/router-utils/package.json	Removed dependency fast-glob; added tinyglobby. Kept other dependencies unchanged.
Glob implementation swap packages/router-utils/src/copy-files-plugin.ts	Replaced import and usage of fast-glob with { glob } from tinyglobby; adjusted call from fg(pattern, { cwd }) to glob(pattern, { cwd }). No public API changes; same error and copy flow.

Poem

A rabbit hops through paths so sly,
Swaps globbing gears with twinkling eye.
From fast to tiny, patterns flow—
The files still find the way to go.
Tap-tap, copy, burrow neat—
New trails, same treats, deliveries complete! 🐇✨

🔇 Additional comments (3)

packages/router-utils/package.json (1)

72-73: LGTM! Dependency swap looks good.

The version ^0.2.15 is the latest stable release of tinyglobby. The change reduces dependencies from 17 (fast-glob) to 2 (tinyglobby) as mentioned in the PR description.

packages/router-utils/src/copy-files-plugin.ts (2)

3-3: LGTM! Import updated correctly.

The named import { glob } matches tinyglobby's API.

---

18-18: Verify glob behavior matches expectations.

The API usage is correct. However, since only the cwd option is specified, the function relies on tinyglobby's default behavior for onlyFiles, dot, followSymbolicLinks, etc. While tinyglobby aims for behavioral parity with fast-glob in common cases, defaults may differ.

Please verify that the glob matching behavior remains consistent, especially for:

• Dotfiles (whether hidden files are matched)
• Directories vs. files (whether directories are included in results)
• Symlinks (whether symbolic links are followed)

You can test this by running the plugin with various patterns and comparing results before/after the change. Based on learnings.
