I think this can impact SEO, am I wrong?

Doesn’t resolving a promise in RSC happen only at buildtime? So it will not block the rendering in this case.

Can't you just make `User` a server component and do the fetch there? You can still wrap `User` with Suspense and it'll function the exact same—no need for `React.use()`.

Why have the server component in this scenario? It seems entirely redundant

Why passing to the client when you can still make the fetch call on server and at the same time use suspense with it Just need to create a wrapper around the client components

How does this affect security?

React tip: "use client" misconceptions (2/5) 🚫 "You cannot nest Server Components inside Client Components because "use client" turns everything into Client Components." ✅ We can pass the rendered result of Server Components to Client Components as props. Simple example: (Server Component) (Client Component) (Server Component) is designed for the client. It needs to instantly open and close when clicked. is designed for the server. It uses packages that don't work in the browser and needs to fetch data close to where it's stored without exposing credentials. So, how can we nest a component that uses server APIs inside a component that uses client APIs... without using `import`? React props to the rescue! --- (0:00) 1-4: Reminder: Importing code forms a module dependency graph. Adding dependencies to a server or client bundle. (0:23) 5-6: Reminder: Using components eventually forms a rendered component tree. (0:37) 9: Oh no! We get an error when trying to `import` a client API (useState) into a server module. (0:44) 10: We know the trick by now: Add "use client" to mark `2.js` as a client entry point. This moves the module to the client bundle and allows us to use client APIs like `useState.` (0:51) 11: But we get a new error! "use client" moved all imported dependencies into the client bundle, including our ORM package, which doesn't work in the browser. (0:59) 13: Let's refactor without changing our rendered component hierarchy. First, we move the `Cart` import to the parent file that imports `Modal`. This moves `Cart` outside the "use client" boundary and consequently the client bundle. (1:11) 15: Then, we pass down the rendered result of `Cart` as a prop to `Modal`. This allows `Cart` to be entirely rendered on the server as a Server Component before being passed down. `Modal` has no knowledge of what the `cart` prop is. Its only responsibility is placing whatever it receives into the `{cart}` slot. (1:15) 16: Finally, it's common to use the special `children` prop for a component's primary content. The key insight is that we were able to use props to retain our desired component hierarchy even though we changed our module dependency graph.
