Composition Patterns for Server and Client Components
One common mistake is moving an entire page into a Client Component because one small widget needs interactivity. Instead, compose a mostly server-rendered page around small client islands.
For example, a dashboard can contain server-rendered statistics, a server-rendered table, and a small client-side filter component.
This pattern reduces JavaScript while preserving rich interaction.
Server-First Component Composition
Key Takeaways
- Prefer small interactive islands instead of clientifying entire pages.
- Compose Server and Client Components rather than choosing one globally.
- The best boundary often occurs around the smallest interactive feature.
