export const meta: Route.MetaFunction = ({ data }) => {
   // data is typed with the data from your loader for this route
}

@AltanS That is the recommended approach for RR V7 if you're not worried about outputting meta from parent routes. That alone won't handle merging meta from parent routes though, which this gist handled for Remix. I raised a discussion in React Router repo a while back for those that are interested in replacements for the Remix-specific mergeMeta util but in RR V7 apps 👍
