Does this support optimistic updates?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns using the useOptimistic and useTransition hooks to provide immediate UI feedback while server actions process.

How does it handle form validation?

It implements a single source of truth using Zod schemas that work for both client-side React Hook Form validation and server-side logic.

When does this skill recommend using the 'use client' directive?

It suggests adding the directive only when using React hooks, browser APIs, event handlers, or third-party client-side libraries, following the minimal client boundary pattern.

Is this skill specific to the Next.js App Router?

Yes, it is optimized for the App Router's architecture, emphasizing the distinction between Server and Client Components for better performance.

Design Tools

Implements interactive client-side features, form validation, and state management for Next.js applications using modern best practices.

About

This skill optimizes the development of interactive Next.js interfaces by guiding the transition from Server to Client Components. It provides standardized implementation patterns for React hooks, event handling, and complex form management using Zod and React Hook Form. By focusing on the 'minimal client boundary' principle, it ensures high-performance applications that balance server-side rendering with rich, responsive user experiences like optimistic updates and real-time validation.

Key Features

Type-safe form validation using Zod and React Hook Form integration
Efficient local state management with React hooks (useState, useMemo, useCallback)
Optimistic UI patterns for instantaneous user feedback
Accessible event handling for keyboard and mouse interactions
Automated 'use client' directive placement based on component needs
4 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Building complex multi-step forms with real-time validation and error handling
Implementing responsive task lists or toggles with optimistic state updates
Adding interactive UI elements like modals, accordions, and tabs to Server Components
