SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Cache Components enable Partial Prerendering (PPR) by mixing static, cached, and dynamic content in a single route, improving rendering efficiency and control in Next.js 16+ projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enable caching with the 'use cache' directive to selectively cache components, functions, and data.
  • Define cache lifetimes and invalidation with cacheLife, cacheTag, and updateTag for fine-grained control.
  • Support static, cached, and dynamic content paths, with guidance for migrating from older flags and config to modern Next.js caching.

Quick Start

Enable Cache Components in your Next.js project by turning on cacheComponents in next.config.ts and adding the 'use cache' directive to your data-fetching functions to start caching.

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

Next.js cache components let you mix static, cached, and dynamic content in a single route. This approach enables Partial Prerendering (PPR) to improve rendering efficiency and control in Next.js 16+ projects.

How do I manage cache lifetimes and invalidation for Next.js cached components?

Yes, you can mix static, cached, and dynamic content paths in Next.js. Cache components support safely handling cookies and headers as appropriate for server components while maintaining cached routes.

What is the best way to migrate older Next.js caching flags to Cache Components?

Cache components require Next.js 16+ and enabling cacheComponents in next.config.ts. You then apply the 'use cache' directive to selectively cache components, functions, and data fetching.

How does Partial Prerendering work with Next.js cache components?

Cache components support safely handling cookies and headers in Next.js server components. The 'use cache' directive ensures dynamic data like cookies are handled appropriately without breaking the cache.
