Next.js Application Development with AI: Server Components and Beyond

Next.js has become the go-to framework for production React applications, offering server-side rendering, static generation, API routes, and an extensive middleware system. However, the framework's rich feature set comes with a learning curve. Understanding when to use Server Components versus Client Components, how to structure data fetching, and when to apply different rendering strategies requires deep familiarity with the framework. Fabricate bridges this knowledge gap by generating architecturally sound Next.js applications from descriptions.

The App Router introduced in Next.js 13 fundamentally changed how Next.js applications are structured. Server Components are now the default, with Client Components used only when browser APIs or interactivity are required. Fabricate understands this distinction and generates code that correctly separates server and client concerns. Data fetching happens in Server Components using async/await, while interactive elements like forms and state management live in properly marked Client Components.

Full-stack Next.js applications require API routes for backend logic that cannot run in Server Components. Fabricate generates API route handlers with proper request validation, error handling, and response typing. For applications that need database access, the AI sets up either Prisma or Drizzle ORM with generated schemas that produce TypeScript types flowing through the entire application stack.

Performance optimization is built into every generated Next.js application. The AI correctly uses next/image for automatic image optimization, next/font for font loading without layout shift, and dynamic imports for code splitting. Metadata is generated using the Next.js metadata API for proper SEO, including Open Graph tags and structured data where appropriate.

The generated code structure follows Next.js conventions with proper file-based routing, layout components for shared UI, loading and error states for each route segment, and middleware for authentication and redirects. This conventional structure means the code is immediately familiar to any Next.js developer who may later work on the project.

Next.js App Router Architecture in Fabricate

Fabricate generates Next.js applications using the App Router with a clear separation between Server Components and Client Components. Server Components handle data fetching, database queries, and content rendering. Client Components are used sparingly for interactive elements like forms, dropdown menus, and real-time features. This separation is enforced through the "use client" directive placed only where necessary.

Data fetching uses the server-first pattern recommended by Next.js. Server Components fetch data directly in their async function bodies, eliminating the need for useEffect-based data fetching or client-side data libraries. For pages that need real-time updates, the AI generates appropriate client-side data fetching with React Query or SWR alongside Server Component initial data.

API routes are generated using the Route Handler convention with typed request and response schemas. Each route handler validates incoming data, performs business logic, and returns typed responses. Database access in API routes uses connection-pooled clients that are properly shared across requests to prevent connection exhaustion.

Middleware is generated for cross-cutting concerns like authentication, localization, and request logging. The middleware configuration specifies which paths require authentication, redirecting unauthenticated users to the login page. For internationalized applications, middleware detects the user's locale and serves the appropriate content.

I was converting a client project from Pages Router to App Router and struggling with the Server Component patterns. I described the app to Fabricate and it generated the entire thing with proper App Router conventions in minutes. It became my reference implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Next.js version is used?

Fabricate generates code for the latest stable Next.js 14+ with the App Router by default.

Can I use Pages Router instead?

The default is App Router, which is the recommended approach for new Next.js projects. It offers better performance and developer experience.

Does it include authentication?

Yes. Request auth and Fabricate integrates NextAuth.js or Clerk with proper middleware and session handling.

Can I connect to a database?

Absolutely. Request a database and get Prisma or Drizzle ORM setup with schemas, migrations, and typed queries.

Is ISR/SSG supported?

Yes. Fabricate uses the appropriate rendering strategy (SSR, SSG, ISR) based on your content needs.
