SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Cache management in Next.js can be complex when using Cache Components and Partial Prerendering (PPR); this guide provides expert guidance to implement proper caching patterns and proactive activation when the feature flag is detected.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Proactively detect and apply cache-component patterns when cacheComponents is true in next.config.ts or next.config.js.
  • Use APIs like 'use cache', cacheLife(), cacheTag(), and revalidateTag()/expireTag() to control caching behavior and invalidation.
  • Align caching decisions with React Server Components, data fetching strategies, and server actions to optimize static vs dynamic boundaries.

Quick Start

Enable cache components in your Next.js project and apply the patterns in this guide to optimize caching and data fetching.

Frequently Asked Questions about cache-components

FAQPage Schema
How do I use 'use cache' and cacheLife() for Next.js Partial Prerendering?

To use 'use cache' and cacheLife() for Next.js Partial Prerendering, apply these directives within React Server Components to define static vs dynamic boundaries. This ensures specific component outputs are cached and reused correctly across requests.

What is the best way to invalidate cached data with revalidateTag() in Next.js Server Components?

The best way to invalidate cached data with revalidateTag() in Next.js Server Components is to call the function within server actions after data mutations. This targets and purges specific cache entries tagged with cacheTag() to fetch fresh data.

When do I need to enable cacheComponents in my Next.js project?

You need to enable cacheComponents in your Next.js project when opting into Partial Prerendering (PPR) patterns. Setting the cacheComponents flag to true in next.config.js proactively activates the environment for granular caching behavior.

Does Next.js cacheComponents work with React Server Components and server actions?

Yes, Next.js cacheComponents works directly with React Server Components and server actions. It aligns caching decisions by enforcing correct static vs dynamic boundaries and integrating data invalidation seamlessly across your application.

Why is my Next.js Partial Prerendering not caching dynamic boundaries correctly?

Next.js Partial Prerendering might not cache dynamic boundaries correctly if 'use cache' or cacheLife() are misplaced. Debugging server actions and verifying static vs dynamic boundaries ensures proper PPR caching behavior is enforced.
