Interactivity with RCC

Welcome to Interactivity with RCC! In Next.js, not everything happens on the server. When you need dynamic behavior, user interaction, or client-side state, you turn to Client Components.

These components run in the user's browser, allowing for rich, interactive experiences. Think of things like counters, forms, or animations – these are perfect fits for Client Components.

To tell Next.js that a component should be rendered on the client, you use the 'use client' directive. This line must be at the very top of your file, before any imports.

• It marks the component (and any components it imports) as a Client Component.
• This means it can use browser APIs, event listeners, and React Hooks like useState and useEffect.
• Without it, components are Server Components by default.
