Q1Domain Verified
Within the context of Next.js 15's App Router, when a component is designated as a Server Component by default, what is the primary mechanism for explicitly marking it as a Client Component?
Importing "use client" from "next/client" at the top of the file.
Renaming the file to include a `.client.js` extension.
Importing "use client" from "react" at the top of the file.
Adding a `client-component: true` directive in the component's metadata.
Q2Domain Verified
Consider a scenario in Next.js 15 where you have a deeply nested component tree. A parent component is marked with `use client`, and a child component within it needs to perform server-side data fetching. What is the most idiomatic and efficient way to achieve this data fetching within the App Router?
Create a new Server Component specifically for data fetching and render it within the child Client Component.
Use the `useSWR` hook within the child Client Component, configured to fetch from a server-side API route.
Lift the data fetching logic to a Server Component higher up the tree and pass the fetched data as props to the child Client Component.
Fetch data directly within the child Client Component using `useEffect` and `fetch`.
Q3Domain Verified
In Next.js 15's App Router, what is the fundamental difference in how Server Components and Client Components handle JavaScript execution and access to browser APIs?
Server Components can execute on both the server and client, but only access browser APIs when rendered on the client, while Client Components exclusively execute on the client.
Server Components execute on the server and can access browser APIs via a special hydration mechanism, while Client Components execute on the client and have direct access.
Server Components execute exclusively on the server and cannot access browser APIs, while Client Components execute on the client and can access all browser APIs.
Server Components execute exclusively on the server and can access Node.js APIs, while Client Components execute exclusively on the client and can access browser APIs.
