SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This framework helps teams decide when to render React components as Server Components or Client Components, enabling better performance and maintainability through clear boundary decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decision guidance for when to apply 'use client' and how to compose islands with small client leaves.
  • Data flow rules that ensure server-provided data is passed as serializable props to client components.
  • Architectural patterns for server-first rendering, composition of components, and safe data sharing between server and client.

Quick Start

Analyze a Next.js or React app to determine where to place 'use client', how to split pages into server and client leaves, and how to pass server data to client components.

FAQPage Schema
When should I use 'use client' in Next.js server components?

Apply 'use client' when a component requires interactivity, state, or browser-only APIs. This framework guides splitting Next.js pages into server-rendered roots with small client leaves for interactive elements.

How do I pass server data to client components in React?

Pass server data to client components as serializable props. This framework enforces clear data-flow rules and component boundaries, ensuring safe data sharing between server and client layers in React applications.

What is the best way to structure React server vs client component boundaries?

The best approach is a structured decomposition using composition patterns and island architecture. This methodology creates clear boundaries by keeping server-first rendering while isolating interactive client leaves.

Does this React server components architecture work with island architecture patterns?

Yes, it explicitly supports composition of islands with small client leaves. It provides architectural patterns for server-first rendering and safe data sharing between server and client components.

Can I use this for deciding server vs client rendering in any React application?

Yes, it applies to Next.js app routes and broader React applications. It helps teams decide when to render components as Server Components or Client Components for better performance and maintainability.
