SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Provides concise, post-training-cutoff guidance to keep Next.js codebases current and prevent broken builds, deprecated API use, and invalid runtime assumptions when upgrading to Next.js 15.3–16.1.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detailed migration guidance covering middleware to proxy transition, cache components and the "use cache" directive, typed routes, async server APIs, and Turbopack as the default bundler.
  • Quick references for caching APIs, revalidateTag signature changes, Node and TypeScript minimums, parallel route requirements, and image configuration updates.
  • Use Case: A developer migrating a large app to Next.js 16 uses these notes to update config, rename middleware to proxy, adopt cacheComponents settings, and fix async server API usages before deployment.

Quick Start

Scan my Next.js project and update code and configuration to conform to Next.js 16.1 migration rules and recommended defaults.

Frequently Asked Questions about nextjs-knowledge-patch

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate Next.js middleware to proxy in version 16?

To migrate Next.js middleware to proxy, rename the middleware file to proxy.ts and adjust your routing logic to align with the new proxy conventions introduced in Next.js 16. This transition updates request interception for the v16 runtime.

What are the minimum Node.js and TypeScript versions for Next.js 16?

Next.js 16 requires Node.js 20.9 or higher and TypeScript 5.1 or higher. Enforcing these minimum versions ensures compatibility with the updated compiler settings and asynchronous server APIs in the new runtime.

How do I use the use cache directive and cacheLife profiles in Next.js?

You use the "use cache" directive to enable cache components, pairing it with cacheLife profiles to manage revalidation for revalidateTag. This approach replaces older caching methods with a granular, component-level caching strategy.

Why are my async server APIs breaking after upgrading to Next.js 16?

Async server APIs break in Next.js 16 because they now require asynchronous handling, meaning you must await dynamic APIs like cookies or headers. Adjusting these usages prevents runtime errors and invalid synchronous assumptions.

Does Next.js 16 use Turbopack as the default bundler?

Yes, Turbopack is the default bundler in Next.js 16. Enabling Turbopack defaults requires adjusting compiler settings in your configuration to align with the new build tooling standards for the App Router.
