SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Cache Components and Partial Prerendering (PPR) patterns in Next.js help teams optimize server-rendered and client-rendered content by conditionally caching expensive outputs, reducing re-renders, and improving perceived performance when cacheComponents is enabled.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Proactive activation when next.config.cacheComponents is true
  • Use of the 'use cache' directive on components and server actions
  • APIs like cacheLife(), cacheTag(), and revalidateTag()/expireTag() for caching and invalidation
  • Debugging, review, and optimization of Cache Component implementations
  • Guidance on balancing static vs dynamic content boundaries for performance

Quick Start

Enable cacheComponents in your Next.js config and apply the 'use cache' patterns across your server and client components to begin caching.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use the 'use cache' directive in Next.js server components?

Use the 'use cache' directive in Next.js server components to conditionally cache expensive outputs. You apply it directly to components and server actions to reduce re-renders and improve perceived performance when the cacheComponents flag is enabled.

What is the best way to invalidate cached data in Next.js Cache Components?

The best way to invalidate cached data in Next.js Cache Components is using the revalidateTag() or expireTag() APIs. You assign specific tags with cacheTag() during caching, allowing targeted invalidation of stale data without clearing the entire cache.

How does cacheLife work with Partial Prerendering in Next.js?

cacheLife defines the duration for cached outputs in Next.js Partial Prerendering. It works with the 'use cache' directive to control how long conditionally cached server-rendered content remains valid before becoming stale and requiring regeneration.

When do I need to enable cacheComponents in next.config?

You need to enable cacheComponents in your next.config file when you want to apply Cache Components patterns to optimize data fetching and rendering. This flag activates the proactive caching capabilities for both server and client components.

Why is my Next.js 'use cache' directive not working as expected?

Your Next.js 'use cache' directive may not work if cacheComponents is not enabled in next.config. Debugging Cache Component implementations requires verifying proper static versus dynamic content boundaries and ensuring correct API usage for cache invalidation.

Can I apply caching patterns to client components in Next.js?

Yes, you can apply caching patterns to client components in Next.js. The Cache Components optimization scope covers both server and client components, guiding the use of 'use cache', cacheLife, and cacheTag to optimize rendering across pages.
