widget-slot-architecture

What problem does it solve?

Widget-slot architecture provides a principled pattern to separate static layouts from dynamic, feature-specific widgets in Next.js apps, mitigating coupling and enabling scalable team workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Separation of concerns: static shell vs dynamic widgets, improving fault isolation and maintainability.
• Parallel Routes guidance: how to structure Layout, Slot, Widget to support modular development and easier testing.
• Portability: widgets can be dropped into different slots without changing business logic.
• Use Case: large dashboards where multiple independent widgets evolve in parallel.

Quick Start

Create a new dashboard slot and attach a Widget to it to start applying the Widget-Slot Architecture.
