Intermediate Next.js: Server Actions, Route Slots, & State Management
Level up your Next.js skills to build production-ready applications. Learn advanced server actions, route slots, and data fetching; implement form authentication and route protection with middleware; and optimize performance with caching, revalidation, and React 18+ features while building a full-stack app.
What you'll learn
- Build production-ready Next.js applications with advanced patterns
- Use server actions and form actions for handling form data and auth
- Implement route slots (parallel routes) and dashboard-style layouts
- Apply server-side data fetching with database integration via ORM
- Optimize performance with per-request and persistent caching, revalidation tags
- Handle loading states, suspense, and error boundaries in routes
- Protect routes with middleware and implement active navigation states
- Use non-form server actions, useTransition, and cache revalidation strategies
Skills you'll gain
- Implement server and form actions in Next.js for authentication and data handling
- Use route slots and advanced routing patterns for complex dashboards
- Fetch and cache server-side data with React 18+ and Next.js utilities
- Integrate a database (e.g., SQLite with Turso and Drizzle ORM) into a Next.js app
- Optimize performance with per-request caching, persistent caching, and revalidation tags
- Handle loading states, suspense, and route-specific error boundaries
- Protect routes using Next.js middleware and implement active navigation
- Create and revalidate dynamic content using non-form server actions and useTransition
