React Server Components (RSC)

Das Konzept

// Server Component (Default in App Router)
// Kein 'use client' = Server Component
async function ProductPage({ params }: { params: { id: string } }) {
  // Direkt DB-Zugriff - kein API nötig!
  const product = await prisma.product.findUnique({
    where: { id: params.id }
  });

  // Dieses JavaScript wird NICHT an den Client gesendet
  const analytics = calculateComplexAnalytics(product);

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{product.name}</h1>
      <ProductDetails product={product} />
      {/* Client Component für Interaktivität */}
      <AddToCartButton productId={product.id} />
    </div>
  );
}

Server vs. Client Components

// ❌ Don't: Alles als Client Component
'use client';
export function ProductList() {
  const [products, setProducts] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    fetch('/api/products').then(r => r.json()).then(setProducts);
  }, []);

  return products.map(p => <Product key={p.id} product={p} />);
}

// ✅ Do: Server Component mit Client Component für Interaktivität
// Server Component (app/products/page.tsx)
async function ProductsPage() {
  const products = await prisma.product.findMany();

  return (
    <div>
      {products.map(p => (
        <ProductCard key={p.id} product={p}>
          {/* Client Component nur wo nötig */}
          <FavoriteButton productId={p.id} />
        </ProductCard>
      ))}
    </div>
  );
}

// Client Component (components/FavoriteButton.tsx)
'use client';
export function FavoriteButton({ productId }: { productId: string }) {
  const [isFavorite, setIsFavorite] = useState(false);

  return (
    <button onClick={() => setIsFavorite(!isFavorite)}>
      {isFavorite ? '❤️' : '🤍'}
    </button>
  );
}

Server Actions

Form Handling ohne API Route

// app/actions.ts
'use server';

import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache';
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation';

export async function createProduct(formData: FormData) {
  const name = formData.get('name') as string;
  const price = parseFloat(formData.get('price') as string);

  // Validation
  if (!name || !price) {
    return { error: 'Name und Preis erforderlich' };
  }

  // Direkt DB-Operation
  const product = await prisma.product.create({
    data: { name, price }
  });

  // Cache invalidieren
  revalidatePath('/products');

  // Redirect
  redirect(`/products/${product.id}`);
}

// app/products/new/page.tsx
import { createProduct } from '../actions';

export default function NewProductPage() {
  return (
    <form action={createProduct}>
      <input name="name" placeholder="Produktname" required />
      <input name="price" type="number" step="0.01" required />
      <button type="submit">Erstellen</button>
    </form>
  );
}

Server Actions mit useActionState (React 19)

'use client';

import { useActionState } from 'react';
import { createProduct } from '../actions';

export function ProductForm() {
  const [state, formAction, isPending] = useActionState(
    createProduct,
    { error: null }
  );

  return (
    <form action={formAction}>
      {state.error && (
        <div className="text-red-500">{state.error}</div>
      )}

      <input name="name" placeholder="Produktname" required />
      <input name="price" type="number" step="0.01" required />

      <button type="submit" disabled={isPending}>
        {isPending ? 'Speichern...' : 'Erstellen'}
      </button>
    </form>
  );
}

Streaming SSR

Suspense für Progressive Loading

// app/dashboard/page.tsx
import { Suspense } from 'react';

export default function DashboardPage() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Dashboard</h1>

      {/* Schneller Content zuerst */}
      <Suspense fallback={<StatsSkeleton />}>
        <Stats />
      </Suspense>

      {/* Langsamer Content streamt nach */}
      <Suspense fallback={<ChartSkeleton />}>
        <RevenueChart />
      </Suspense>

      <Suspense fallback={<TableSkeleton />}>
        <RecentOrders />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  );
}

// Diese Components können unabhängig laden
async function Stats() {
  const stats = await fetchStats(); // 100ms
  return <StatsDisplay data={stats} />;
}

async function RevenueChart() {
  const data = await fetchRevenueData(); // 500ms
  return <Chart data={data} />;
}

async function RecentOrders() {
  const orders = await fetchOrders(); // 300ms
  return <OrdersTable orders={orders} />;
}

Loading UI

// app/dashboard/loading.tsx
export default function DashboardLoading() {
  return (
    <div className="animate-pulse">
      <div className="h-8 bg-gray-200 rounded w-1/4 mb-4" />
      <div className="grid grid-cols-4 gap-4 mb-8">
        {[...Array(4)].map((_, i) => (
          <div key={i} className="h-24 bg-gray-200 rounded" />
        ))}
      </div>
      <div className="h-64 bg-gray-200 rounded" />
    </div>
  );
}

Async Request APIs (Breaking Change)

// Next.js 14
import { cookies, headers } from 'next/headers';

export default function Page() {
  const cookieStore = cookies(); // Synchron
  const headersList = headers(); // Synchron
  return <div>...</div>;
}

// Next.js 15
import { cookies, headers } from 'next/headers';

export default async function Page() {
  const cookieStore = await cookies(); // Async!
  const headersList = await headers(); // Async!
  return <div>...</div>;
}

Caching Changes

Neues Default-Verhalten

// Next.js 14: Gecached by default
const data = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data');

// Next.js 15: NICHT gecached by default
const data = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data');

// Explizit cachen
const cachedData = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data', {
  cache: 'force-cache' // oder next: { revalidate: 3600 }
});

Route Handler Caching

// app/api/data/route.ts

// Next.js 15: GET ist NICHT mehr default cached
export async function GET() {
  const data = await fetchData();
  return Response.json(data);
}

// Explizit cachen
export const dynamic = 'force-static';
export async function GET() {
  // ...
}

Performance-Vergleich

Performance Best Practices

1. Component Composition

// ❌ Großes Client Component
'use client';
export function Dashboard() {
  const [data, setData] = useState(null);
  // Viel Logik...
  return <div>...</div>;
}

// ✅ Server Component mit kleinen Client Components
export async function Dashboard() {
  const data = await fetchData();

  return (
    <div>
      <Header data={data.header} />
      <Sidebar items={data.menuItems} />
      <Content>
        <InteractiveChart data={data.chartData} /> {/* Client */}
        <FilterPanel /> {/* Client */}
      </Content>
    </div>
  );
}

2. Data Fetching Patterns

// ❌ Sequential Fetching
async function Page() {
  const user = await fetchUser();
  const posts = await fetchPosts(user.id);
  const comments = await fetchComments(posts.map(p => p.id));
  return <div>...</div>;
}

// ✅ Parallel Fetching
async function Page() {
  const user = await fetchUser();

  // Parallel fetchen
  const [posts, friends] = await Promise.all([
    fetchPosts(user.id),
    fetchFriends(user.id)
  ]);

  return <div>...</div>;
}

3. Streaming Optimization

// Optimale Streaming-Architektur
export default function ProductPage({ params }) {
  return (
    <div>
      {/* Sofort gerendert */}
      <Header />

      {/* Schnelle Daten zuerst */}
      <Suspense fallback={<ProductSkeleton />}>
        <ProductInfo id={params.id} />
      </Suspense>

      {/* Langsame Daten später */}
      <Suspense fallback={<ReviewsSkeleton />}>
        <ProductReviews id={params.id} />
      </Suspense>

      <Suspense fallback={<RecommendationsSkeleton />}>
        <Recommendations id={params.id} />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  );
}

Partial Prerendering (Experimental)

// next.config.js
module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    ppr: true
  }
};

// app/page.tsx
import { Suspense } from 'react';

export default function HomePage() {
  return (
    <div>
      {/* Statisch prerendered */}
      <Header />
      <Hero />

      {/* Dynamisch gestreamt */}
      <Suspense fallback={<ProductsSkeleton />}>
        <PersonalizedProducts />
      </Suspense>

      {/* Statisch */}
      <Footer />
    </div>
  );
}

Security Notes

Zwei kritische CVEs wurden für Next.js gemeldet:

• CVE-2025-55184: DoS via Server Components
• CVE-2025-55183: Source Code Exposure

Sofortiges Update auf die neueste Version empfohlen!

Fazit

Next.js 15 verändert wie wir React-Anwendungen bauen:

1. Server-First: RSC als Default reduziert Client-Bundle
2. Streaming: Bessere Time-to-First-Byte
3. Server Actions: Keine API-Routes mehr für Forms
4. Turbopack: Dramatisch schnellere Builds

2026 ist Next.js die Plattform für moderne Full-Stack React.
