Understanding React Server Components

React Server Components (RSC) represent a paradigm shift in how we build React applications. Let’s explore what makes them special.

Key Benefits

1. Improved Performance

   • Reduced JavaScript bundle size
   • Faster initial page load
   • Better streaming capabilities

2. Enhanced Developer Experience

   • Simplified data fetching
   • Natural code organization
   • Better separation of concerns

When to Use Server Components

Server Components are ideal when:

• You need to access backend resources directly
• The component doesn’t need interactivity
• You want to reduce client-side JavaScript

Example Implementation

Here’s how you might structure a Server Component:

// This component will never run on the client
async function BlogList() {
  const posts = await getBlogPosts();
  
  return (
    

      {posts.map(post => (
        
{post.title}
      ))}
    
  );
}
