SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Next.js 16 Cache Components enable Partial Prerendering (PPR) by mixing static, cached, and dynamic content in a single route, reducing server load and improving perceived performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enables static prerendering for shell components to improve time-to-first-byte.
  • Provides the 'use cache' directive for per-component or per-function caching with configurable cacheLife, cacheTag, and updateTag.
  • Supports fine-grained cache invalidation and revalidation strategies across API routes and pages.

Quick Start

Enable cache components in your Next.js project and implement a page that uses the 'use cache' directive with a cacheLife and a cacheTag to illustrate caching.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use the 'use cache' directive in Next.js for partial prerendering?

To use Next.js cache components for partial prerendering, enable cacheComponents in next.config.ts and apply the 'use cache' directive directly within your component or function scope to selectively cache static content alongside dynamic data.

What is the best way to configure cache lifetimes for individual Next.js components?

Configuring cache lifetimes for Next.js components requires applying the 'use cache' directive and specifying a cacheLife duration within the component or function scope, enabling fine-grained control over static prerendering and cache expiration.

Does the Next.js 16 cache components feature work with fine-grained cache invalidation?

Yes, Next.js 16 cache components support fine-grained cache invalidation by utilizing cacheTag and updateTag configurations within the 'use cache' directive scope to selectively revalidate cached routes and API responses.

How do I set up cache components in a Next.js 16 project to improve time-to-first-byte?

Setting up cache components in a Next.js 16 project requires enabling the cacheComponents flag in next.config.ts, which allows static prerendering of shell components via the 'use cache' directive to significantly improve time-to-first-byte.

Why combine static and dynamic content in Next.js routes using cache components?

Combining static and dynamic content in Next.js routes using cache components enables Partial Prerendering, which reduces server load by serving cached static shells instantly while executing dynamic code only when needed.

Can I apply per-function caching patterns without caching the entire Next.js route?

Yes, you can apply per-function caching patterns without caching the entire Next.js route by using the 'use cache' directive with cacheLife and cacheTag directly inside specific functions, allowing selective caching within mixed routes.
