SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Next.js 16+ Cache Components allow mixing static, cached, and dynamic content by enabling Partial Prerendering, reducing re-renders and improving performance across routes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enable cacheComponents: true to switch on the new rendering model.
  • Three content types: Static (auto-prerendered), Cached (use cache), Dynamic (Suspense) for real-time data.
  • Use the directives and helpers: 'use cache', cacheLife, cacheTag, updateTag for flexible invalidation and freshness.

Quick Start

Enable Cache Components by turning on cacheComponents in next.config.ts and start annotating components with the 'use cache' directive to opt into caching behavior.
