How to refactor an existing client component into a server component? 1. Move the state to the URL 2. Move data fetching to the server 3. Isolate interactivity into a smaller client component

You are killing it, lot of things I learned seeing your videos, will be nice to have a web page that renders all these tips so I don’t have to bookmark them 😅, anyways awesome content!

Thanks, I am working on the dedicated page. *Also secretly hoping that @X will implement better UI for tweet collections so I don't have to build anything

Now what is missing is adding Suspense to show loading states on the server, or use useTransition (in the Search client component) to show loading state on the client.

It would be cool if we can generate these pages statically

Alex Sidorenko3 years ago

We can. 1. Substitute query params with dynamic routes. So the route looks like this /movies/doctor instead of /movies?search=doctor 2. Pass most popular search requests to generateStaticParams

@asidorenko_ pardon the noob but sincere question, but what is the purpose of doing this? How is the code better in moving to the server?

Alex Sidorenko3 years ago

Good question, nothing noob about it. - Ship less JS to the client (improves time to interactive) - Can use secret keys when fetching data - Less client-side re-rendering - Can pre-generate popular search queries at build time - State in the URL is often better UX

Thanks for creating amazing content!

Make some videos on Next js middlewares.

Do you have any specific cases in mind?

React Server Components allow you to call your database directly from a component. And that's great... but how do we make sure this code never ever runs on the client?

You can now connect your React application to any MCP server! And it only takes a single command: $ npx copilotkit@latest init -m MCP This is massive for anyone building React applications! Using the CopilotKit🪁 MCP Client Component, you can get an MCP Client chat component in your application and instant access to any MCP server out there! It doesn't get easier than this. Check out the link below for instructions on how to proceed ↓

React tip: "use client" misconceptions (1/5) 🚫 You need to mark EVERY individual file with "use client" to ensure it is a Client Component. ✅ You only need to mark each client entry point ONCE. Modules imported into a "use client" file are already part of the client bundle. (0:05) Adding "use client" to `3.js` marks the file as a client entry point, including it in the client bundle. (0:11) Importing `d()` into `3.js` (a client entry point) also includes it in the client bundle. (0:14) Adding "use client" to `4.js` has no additional bundling effect on `d()` because it is already part of the client bundle. (0:23) All modules (and their dependencies) imported to `3.js` are included in the client bundle. (0:26) Removing "use client" from `3.js` moves it and its dependencies into the server bundle.

In the latest `swr@beta`, you can seamlessly move data fetching between client-side and server-side, or both, in an RSC framework like Next.js: 🔸Client only: useSWR(key, fetcher) 🔹Mixed: useSWR(key, fetcher) + RSC-provided data 🔸Server only: useSWR(key) + RSC-provided data

Here is a step-by-step introduction to building a workflow with a custom AI agent that uses MCP. I explain every component in the video: 1. Building the MCP server 2. Building the agent and an MCP client 3. Building a workflow that uses the agent The goal is simple: Generate a dialogue between two people and make one yell and the other answer with sarcasm. Kestra is sponsoring this video. They are an open-source orchestration platform (repo link below), and I used them to build the workflow that connects every component.

If you want to be able to call server functions from the client, RPC is often the move. The Bun + Better Call combo gets you a fullstack solution in very little code. Server, Client, bundling and HMR 👌 had to record a little video showing the setup

Introducing Open MCP Client 🪁 Chat with any MCP server in your own app, just grab a URL from . The team and I vibe coded with Cursor this weekend and built: 1. The first web-based MCP client (link👇) 2. An open-source client you can add into any app How it's built It uses CopilotKit🪁 for the client and interactivity layer, and connects to a 40 line LangGraph ReAct agent that coordinates MCP calls. Hosted on Vercel. Kudos to Suhas Deshpande and Tyler Slaton for hacking and thanks to Harrison Chase for pointers!

How should you search, filter, and paginate data with Next.js? This demo has 50,000 books in a Postgres database. • Page Load: When the page loads, we see the React Suspense fallback. This loading skeleton is displayed until the first page of books is retrieved from the database. • Searching: The search input has a 200ms debounce. After 200ms of inactivity, the form submits, updating the URL state with `?q={search}`. The Server Component reads `searchParams` and queries the database. On form submission, a React transition starts, allowing us to read the pending status with `useFormStatus` to display an inline loading state. • State Preservation: Navigating to an individual book page retains the search input state. Reloading the page or sharing the link preserves the search results. • Client-side Filtering: Filtering authors in the left sidebar is done client-side. Authors are fetched by a Server Component and passed as props to the sidebar. Changing the input value updates React state and re-renders the sidebar. • Optimistic Updates: The sidebar’s selected authors are optimistically updated with `useOptimistic`. Checkbox selections update instantly without waiting for the URL to change. • State Preservation: Navigating to an individual book page retains the sidebar filter input and selected author state across navigations, giving it an app-like feel. • Pagination: Navigating between pages updates the URL state, triggering the Server Component to query the database for the specific page of books. We also fetch the total book count to show the total number of pages. This demo isn't perfect yet (still working on it) but it's been a fun playground for some of these patterns. You can imagine a similar experience for thousands of movies, cars, products, or any other very large dataset. Demo → Code →

The LEGO Smart Brick has a chip smaller than a LEGO stud. The Brick has a tiny Speaker. There are also going to be Smart Minifigures. As well as Smart Tags, so it’s a three component system. There is an interactivity between the three elements.
