# Next.js App Router Patterns
Comprehensive patterns for Next.js 14+ App Router architecture, Server Components, and modern full-stack React development.
## When to Use This Skill
- Building new Next.js applications with App Router
- Migrating from Pages Router to App Router
- Implementing Server Components and streaming
- Setting up parallel and intercepting routes
- Optimizing data fetching and caching
- Building full-stack features with Server Actions
## Core Concepts
### 1. Rendering Modes
| Mode | Where | When to Use |
| --------------------- | ------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| **Server Components** | Server only | Data fetching, heavy computation, secrets |
| **Client Components** | Browser | Interactivity, hooks, browser APIs |
| **Static** | Build time | Content that rarely changes |
| **Dynamic** | Request time | Personalized or real-time data |
| **Streaming** | Progressive | Large pages, slow data sources |
### 2. File Conventions
```

├── layout.tsx # Shared UI wrapper
├── page.tsx # Route UI
├── loading.tsx # Loading UI (Suspense)
├── error.tsx # Error boundary
├── not-found.tsx # 404 UI
├── route.ts # API endpoint
├── template.tsx # Re-mounted layout
├── default.tsx # Parallel route fallback
