Throw is about control flow – not error handling: Sam and Ryan talk about why it’s better to think of throw as a general-purpose JavaScript language feature rather than something that should only be used for error handling. They discuss the ambiguity around the phrase “error handling”, situations that call for dealing with errors locally vs. globally, and how throw can be useful for non-error control flow. They also discuss the problems with trying to shoehorn dynamic features into a static site. by Frontend First

The Philosophy of Next.js: Sam and Ryan discuss the core values of the Next.js framework, and how those values motivate several of the framework’s design decisions. They talk about caching, why layouts don’t have access to the URL, and why the router doesn’t expose navigation events, as well as how developers should think about extending Next’s functionality with their own application code. by Frontend First
76 min listen
Beyond Data Fetching with RSCs: Sam talks to Ryan about refactoring an MDX blog post to a React Server Component. They discuss how RSC’s ability to render server-side content with “client-side holes” turns out to replace MDX for many uses cases.

The Remix Architecture: Sam and Ryan talk about the key parts of Remix’s architecture in the context of the Work Journal app from Build UI’s latest course.

46 min listen
Implementing RSC, Part 2: Server Actions: Ryan continues to share the details behind his custom RSC implementation. He talks with Sam about how Server Actions allow the client to reference server-side code (in the same way client components allow the server to reference client-side code), how Server Actions are bundled and invoked, and the security concerns associated with blurring the lines between the server and the client. by Frontend First
57 min listen
Lessons learned from implementing RSC: Part 1: Ryan shares how building his own RSC implementation from scratch helped him better understand React’s new paradigm. He and Sam talk about how a client React app can fetch an RSC Payload from a server endpoint to update the UI, how an RSC server renders and bundles Client code that’s part of a Server Component tree, and how a client-side Router can be used to fetch new RSC trees based on the URL. by Frontend First
59 min listen
Should a navigation and a refresh show the same page?: Ryan and Sam talk about how to invalidate Next.js’ client-side cache when a different session makes changes to backend data, and ultimately discuss whether clicking a link to a URL vs. hitting refresh on that same URL should render the same page if no backend data has changed. by Frontend First
45 min listen
Tim Neutkens on the Next.js App Router: Tim joins Sam to talk about his work on the new app router in Next.js 13. He explains how the app router leverages Server Components and React’s new cache API to bring a new level of composability to server-side code, how Server Actions are being designed to enable partial revalidation in a single round trip to the server, and how to think about UI updates as a result of server-side state changes. by Frontend First
105 min listen
Understanding prop passing from RSC to Client Components: Sam and Ryan discuss how TypeScript helped them understand the mechanics of how props get passed from Server Components to Client Components, and how to properly type client component props if the prop starts out as a rich data type on the server. They also clarify some points from last episode’s discussion about the RSC payload. by Frontend First
