Does this skill support the Next.js 16 'use cache' directive?

Yes, it includes detailed patterns for the new 'use cache' directive, including remote and private scopes for fine-grained cache control.

How does this help with revalidation?

It provides implementation templates for both time-based revalidation (TTL) and on-demand revalidation using specific tags or URL paths.

Can I use this for non-fetch data sources like database queries?

Absolutely. The skill covers unstable_cache and React's cache() function to handle caching for database queries and other non-fetch operations.

Is it useful for debugging cache issues?

Yes, it includes specific guidance on enabling fetch logging in next.config.js and inspecting cache status headers like HIT, MISS, and STALE.

API Development

Optimizes Next.js application performance by implementing advanced caching strategies, revalidation patterns, and the 'use cache' directive.

About

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for mastering the Next.js caching system, including the cutting-edge 'use cache' directive introduced in Next.js 16. It helps developers navigate the four primary caching layers—Request Memoization, Data Cache, Full Route Cache, and Router Cache—to ensure optimal application speed and data freshness. Whether you are setting up Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR), configuring on-demand revalidation with tags, or debugging cache headers, this skill offers production-grade implementation patterns for efficient data fetching and persistent storage across server and client environments.
