What problem does it solve?
This Skill enables building modern Next.js applications by applying App Router patterns, Server Components, Server Actions, middleware, and robust data fetching, routing, and authentication strategies.
Core Features & Use Cases
- App Router patterns and file structure: Organize routes, layouts, APIs, and middleware using the Next.js App Router.
- Server Components by default: Server-rendered UI with minimal client JS.
- Server Actions for mutations: Perform server-side mutations securely without extra API routes.
- Middleware-based routing & authentication: Protect routes and provide flexible access control.
- Use Case: Build an admin dashboard with protected routes, server-side data fetching, and form mutations via Server Actions.
Quick Start
Set up a new Next.js 16+ project with App Router. Create a server component that fetches data on the server and a server action to mutate data via a form. Example: render a dashboard page that displays items fetched from the database and a form that creates a new item using a Server Action.
