Understanding RSC & RCC
Grasp the core differences and benefits of React Server Components (RSC) and React Client Components (RCC) in Next.js 15.
Welcome to Next.js Components!
In Next.js 15, building user interfaces relies heavily on React components. But there's a new twist!
- Traditionally, all React components run in the user's browser.
- Next.js 15 introduces two main types: Server Components (RSC) and Client Components (RCC).
- Understanding their differences is crucial for building fast, efficient, and interactive Next.js applications. Let's dive in!
What are Server Components (RSC)?
React Server Components (RSC) are components that run exclusively on the server, before any JavaScript is sent to the browser.
- They generate HTML directly on the server.
- This HTML is then sent to the client, along with any necessary client-side JavaScript for interactive parts.
- RSCs are the default component type in the Next.js App Router.
