Next.js 15 Patterns
Server vs Client Components
Default: Server Components
// app/users/page.tsx - Server Component (default)
export default async function UsersPage() {
const users = await getUsers(); // Direct DB access
return <UserList users={users} />;
}
Client Components (when needed)
// components/counter.tsx
'use client';
import { useState } from 'react';
export function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
return <button onClick={() => setCount(c => c + 1)}>{count}</button>;
}
Server Actions
// actions/user-actions.ts
'use server';
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache';
import { z } from 'zod';
const CreateUserSchema = z.object({
name: z.string().min(1),
email: z.string().email(),
});
export async function createUser(formData: FormData) {
const validated = CreateUserSchema.safeParse({
name: formData.get('name'),
email: formData.get('email'),
});
if (!validated.success) {
return { error: validated.error.flatten() };
}
const user = await db.insert(users).values(validated.data).returning();
revalidatePath('/users');
return { data: user };
}
Data Fetching
In Server Components
// Direct async/await - no useEffect needed
async function UserProfile({ id }: { id: string }) {
const user = await getUser(id);
if (!user) notFound();
return <Profile user={user} />;
}
With Loading States
// app/users/loading.tsx
export default function Loading() {
return <UserListSkeleton />;
}
With Error Handling
// app/users/error.tsx
'use client';
export default function Error({
error,
reset,
}: {
error: Error;
reset: () => void;
}) {
return (
<div>
<h2>Something went wrong</h2>
<button onClick={reset}>Try again</button>
</div>
);
}
Route Handlers (API)
// app/api/users/route.ts
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';
export async function GET() {
const users = await getUsers();
return NextResponse.json(users);
}
export async function POST(request: Request) {
const body = await request.json();
const user = await createUser(body);
return NextResponse.json(user, { status: 201 });
}
Metadata
// app/users/[id]/page.tsx
import { Metadata } from 'next';
export async function generateMetadata({
params,
}: {
params: { id: string };
}): Promise<Metadata> {
const user = await getUser(params.id);
return {
title: user?.name ?? 'User',
description: `Profile for ${user?.name}`,
};
}
Parallel Routes
app/
├── @modal/
│ └── (.)photo/[id]/page.tsx # Intercepted modal
├── layout.tsx
└── page.tsx
Best Practices
- Prefer Server Components - Only use 'use client' when needed
- Colocate data fetching - Fetch where data is used
- Use Server Actions - For mutations, not API routes
- Streaming with Suspense - For progressive loading
- Validate all inputs - Use Zod for server actions

fastapi-mastery
Comprehensive FastAPI development skill covering REST API creation, routing, request/response handling, validation, authentication, database integration, middleware, and deployment. Use when working with FastAPI projects, building APIs, implementing CRUD operations, setting up authentication/authorization, integrating databases (SQL/NoSQL), adding middleware, handling WebSockets, or deploying FastAPI applications. Triggered by requests involving .py files with FastAPI code, API endpoint creation, Pydantic models, or FastAPI-specific features.
context7-efficient
Token-efficient library documentation fetcher using Context7 MCP with 86.8% token savings through intelligent shell pipeline filtering. Fetches code examples, API references, and best practices for JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, and other libraries. Use when users ask about library documentation, need code examples, want API usage patterns, are learning a new framework, need syntax reference, or troubleshooting with library-specific information. Triggers include questions like "Show me React hooks", "How do I use Prisma", "What's the Next.js routing syntax", or any request for library/framework documentation.
browser-use
Browser automation using Playwright MCP. Navigate websites, fill forms, click elements, take screenshots, and extract data. Use when tasks require web browsing, form submission, web scraping, UI testing, or any browser interaction.
