To use the 'use client' directive in Next.js App Router, add the directive at the top of a component file to declare it as a Client Component. This enables interactive patterns like state management, event handling, and browser API usage within your Next.js application.

Yes, you can fetch data in Next.js Client Components using TanStack Query or SWR. This approach allows you to manage client-side data fetching and initial data handling while maintaining optimal component boundaries within the App Router architecture.

You integrate Next.js Server Actions with Client Components by calling the Server Actions directly from your client-side event handlers. This pattern allows your interactive Client Components to securely execute server-side mutations and data updates without creating separate API endpoints.

The best way to manage state and event handling in Next.js Client Components is to isolate interactive logic using the 'use client' directive. This Skill provides patterns for building dynamic interfaces, such as forms with client-side validation, by leveraging standard React state management.

Best practices for passing props to Next.js Client Components include minimizing component size and carefully handling initial data from Server Components. This ensures optimal data flow and prevents unnecessary client-side JavaScript bundles in the Next.js App Router.

You should avoid using Client Components in the Next.js App Router when components do not require interactivity, state management, or browser APIs. Keeping static elements as Server Components reduces the client-side JavaScript bundle size and improves initial page load performance.
