Data Fetching

Core Pattern: Server → Client → SWR

1. Server Page Fetches Data

// app/(app)/[orgId]/tasks/page.tsx
export default async function TasksPage({ params }: { params: Promise<{ orgId: string }> }) {
  const { orgId } = await params; // From URL, NOT session
  const tasks = await getTasks(orgId);
  return <TaskListClient organizationId={orgId} initialTasks={tasks} />;
}

2. Client Component Receives Initial Data

// components/TaskListClient.tsx
'use client';

export function TaskListClient({ organizationId, initialTasks }: Props) {
  const { tasks, createTask, updateTask } = useTasks({
    organizationId,
    initialData: initialTasks,
  });
  // Initial render is instant - no loading state
}

3. SWR Hook with fallbackData

// hooks/useTasks.ts
export function useTasks({ organizationId, initialData }: UseTasksOptions) {
  const { data, mutate } = useSWR(
    ['/v1/tasks', organizationId], // Include orgId for cache isolation
    async ([endpoint, orgId]) => {
      const response = await apiClient.get(endpoint, orgId);
      return response.data?.tasks ?? [];
    },
    { fallbackData: initialData }
  );

  const createTask = async (input: CreateTaskInput) => {
    await apiClient.post('/v1/tasks', input, organizationId);
    mutate(); // Revalidate
  };

  const updateTask = async ({ taskId, input }: { taskId: string; input: UpdateTaskInput }) => {
    await apiClient.put(`/v1/tasks/${taskId}`, input, organizationId);
    mutate(); // Revalidate
  };

  return { tasks: data ?? [], createTask, updateTask, mutate };
}

API Client

Use apiClient from @/lib/api-client:

import { apiClient } from '@/lib/api-client';

await apiClient.get<ResponseType>('/v1/endpoint', organizationId);
await apiClient.post<ResponseType>('/v1/endpoint', body, organizationId);
await apiClient.put<ResponseType>('/v1/endpoint', body, organizationId);
await apiClient.delete('/v1/endpoint', organizationId);

Server vs Client Components

Layouts = server. Interactive logic in separate client components.

// layout.tsx (server)
export default function Layout({ children }) {
  return (
    <PageLayout>
      <PageHeader title="Title" />
      <ClientTabs /> {/* Client component */}
      {children}
    </PageLayout>
  );
}

// components/ClientTabs.tsx
'use client';
export function ClientTabs() {
  const router = useRouter();
  // Interactive logic here
}

State Management

No nuqs - use React state or Next.js patterns:

// ✅ React state for UI
const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);

// ✅ Next.js for URL state
const router = useRouter();
const searchParams = useSearchParams();

// ❌ No nuqs
import { useQueryState } from 'nuqs';

Rules

// ✅ Always
const { orgId } = await params;                    // From URL params
const { data } = useSWR(key, f, { fallbackData }); // With initial data
await apiClient.get('/v1/endpoint', orgId);        // Use apiClient
useSWR(['/v1/tasks', orgId], fetcher);            // Include orgId in key

// ❌ Never
const orgId = session?.activeOrganizationId;       // From session
const { data } = useSWR('/api/data');              // No initial data
await fetch('/api/endpoint');                      // Direct fetch
