SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill makes it easy to implement Partial Prerendering in Next.js 16+ by leveraging Cache Components, the use cache directive, and related APIs to blend static, cached, and dynamic content in a single route.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Partial Prerendering (PPR): Prerender pages that combine static shells with cached data for fast, scalable routes.
  • use cache directive & cacheLife: Mark functions or components to cache, assign lifetimes, and control revalidation for responsive UIs.
  • Cache Tagging & Invalidation: Use cacheTag and updateTag to invalidate specific cached segments on data changes.
  • Use Case: Build a dashboard where the shell renders instantly, stats are cached for minutes, and user data remains fresh.

Quick Start

  1. Enable cache components: set cacheComponents: true in next.config.ts.
  2. Add 'use cache' to data-fetching functions or components and apply cacheLife as needed.
  3. Use cacheTag and updateTag to fine-tune invalidation when data updates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enable Partial Prerendering in Next.js 16+?▼

To enable Partial Prerendering in Next.js 16+, set cacheComponents: true in your next.config.ts file. This activates Cache Components, allowing you to blend static shells with cached data in a single route.

How does the use cache directive work with cacheLife?▼

The use cache directive marks functions or components for caching, while cacheLife assigns specific lifetimes to control revalidation. Together they cache data fetching operations and manage how long cached segments remain valid before updating.

Can I invalidate specific cached data segments in Next.js Cache Components?▼

Yes, you can invalidate specific cached data segments using cacheTag and updateTag. Assign cacheTag to mark segments, then use updateTag to selectively invalidate those cached portions when underlying data changes.

When should I use Partial Prerendering instead of fully static or dynamic rendering?▼

Use Partial Prerendering when building pages like dashboards where the static shell renders instantly, stats are cached for minutes via use cache, and user-specific data remains fresh using Suspense for dynamic content.

Does Partial Prerendering support combining cached data with dynamic content?▼

Yes, Partial Prerendering combines static prerendering, cached data via use cache, and dynamic content with Suspense. This allows a single route to serve instant static shells alongside time-cached and fresh dynamic data.
