RSCs

Loading "Rscs"
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’Ό Right now we have to load all the data of our app and pass the result as props to our components. Additionally, we're sending a bunch of code to the client to render a page that really doesn't need to be on the client. We want you to solve both of these problems by using react-server-dom-esm which will allow us to generate serialized JSX on the server and render it in the browser.

πŸ¦‰ react-server export

One important thing to remember is that on the server, React components cannot use hooks like useState, useEffect, etc. You should think of RSCs as a one-time template because they'll never be interactive.
This can be confusing and even cause problems if you're not careful. That's why React packages have a special version for your RSC server so you don't make this mistake. You actually don't have to change your code at all for this to work. Instead, you change the environment in which your code is running.
On the server, Node.js has an algorithm to resolve module imports like react and react-server-dom-esm. It's a fair bit complex, so to be brief, I'll just say that in the package.json of react packages, you'll find something like this:
{
	"exports": {
		".": {
			"react-server": "./react.react-server.js",
			"default": "./index.js"
		},
		"./package.json": "./package.json",
		"./jsx-runtime": {
			"react-server": "./jsx-runtime.react-server.js",
			"default": "./jsx-runtime.js"
		},
		"./jsx-dev-runtime": "./jsx-dev-runtime.js"
	}
}
This is configuration for the node resolver so the correct version of React is resolved based on the environment. In our RSC environment, we want to tell Node to resolve to the react-server export.
This is done by setting the --conditions flag in the node command. This flag is used to set the environment in which the code is running. In our case, we want to set the environment to react-server.
🐨 So before you do anything else, update the dev script in the file to add --conditions=react-server:
node --conditions=react-server --watch server/app.js
Note: the order of the --watch and --conditions does matter! Put conditions first and watch second as it appears above.
Once you have that done, you can restart your dev server and for any package that has a special export for an RSC environment, Node will resolve to that version of the package.
πŸ“œ You can learn more about the benefits of this decision from the Server Module Conventions RFC

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’Ό Continue

Great, from here, you can proceed to update to properly map the react-server-dom-esm/client import to the correct URL. Once you have that done, you can update to switch from an /api route that serves data to an /rsc route that serves the RSCs.
Then finally you'll be able to go to the file and update that to fetch the RSCs from the server and render them using the react-server-dom-esm/client package.
