🎯 Changes

createMemoryHistory({ initialEntries: ['/a', '/b'], initialIndex: 0 }) starts at /b. The truthy check treats 0 as unset:

let index = opts.initialIndex ? ... : entries.length - 1

Switched to !== undefined and added a test for 0, 1, -1 and out-of-range.

AI-assisted; I reviewed and tested the change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Memory history now starts at the first entry when initialIndex is set to 0.
    • Starting indexes below or above the available entries are clamped to the valid range, so history starts at the first or last entry as appropriate.
    • When initialIndex is omitted or is NaN, memory history starts at the last entry.

Walkthrough

createMemoryHistory now honors initialIndex: 0 and selects the first entry. Tests cover zero, valid nonzero, negative, out-of-range, and NaN values. A patch changeset records the behavior.

Changes: Memory history initialization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Select and verify the initial entry
packages/history/src/index.ts, packages/history/tests/createMemoryHistory.test.ts, .changeset/memory-history-initial-index-zero.md
createMemoryHistory clamps an explicit index to the available entries. Omitted or NaN indexes select the last entry. Tests check indexes 0, 1, -1, and 5, plus NaN, with three entries. A patch changeset describes the zero-index behavior.

- Around line 642-643: Update the explicit initialIndex branch so NaN follows
the existing fallback-to-last-entry path instead of producing an invalid entry
index. Keep the current clamping behavior for valid numeric values in the
createMemoryHistory initialization flow.
