What problem does it solve?
Next.js 15 App Router patterns help teams organize large React applications by clearly separating server and client concerns and by standardizing data fetching, mutations, and routing across an app.
Core Features & Use Cases
- App Router conventions: layout.tsx, page.tsx, loading.tsx, error.tsx, route handlers, and API routes.
- Server Components vs Client Components decision guidance and practical usage examples.
- Server Actions and data mutations with optimistic UI patterns and revalidation strategies.
- Data fetching and streaming with Suspense and incremental streaming.
- Use Case: Building a dashboard that fetches multiple data sources, mutates data via actions, and exposes API endpoints.
Quick Start
Set up a Next.js app and enable the App Router by placing your pages under app/, creating a root layout (layout.tsx) and a page (page.tsx). Implement a simple server component that fetches data, a client component that renders UI, a server action to update data, and a route handler for an API endpoint. Run the development server and verify server components, actions, and streaming behaviors.
