Next.js: Server Component Navigation Pattern
⚠️ CRITICAL RULE
Server Components use DIFFERENT navigation methods than Client Components!
When requirements call for server-rendered navigation—for example, linking to other pages, redirecting after a check, or demonstrating routing patterns—prefer <Link> and redirect() within Server Components. You still avoid 'use client' unless a client-only API is involved.
The Pattern
Scenario: build a server component that demonstrates proper navigation patterns
✅ CORRECT Solution:
// app/page.tsx (Server Component - NO 'use client'!)
import Link from 'next/link';

Guide for choosing between Server Components and Client Components in Next.js App Router. CRITICAL for useSearchParams (requires Suspense + 'use client'), navigation (Link, redirect, useRouter), cookies/headers access, and 'use client' directive. Activates when prompt mentions useSearchParams, Suspense, navigation, routing, Link component, redirect, pathname, searchParams, cookies, headers, async components, or 'use client'. Essential for avoiding mixing server/client APIs.

222nextjs-client-cookie-pattern
Pattern for client components calling server actions to set cookies in Next.js. Covers the two-file pattern of a client component with user interaction (onClick, form submission) that calls a server action to modify cookies. Use when building features like authentication, preferences, or session management where client-side triggers need to set/modify server-side cookies.

Pattern for using useSearchParams hook with Suspense boundary in Next.js. Covers the required combination of 'use client' directive and Suspense wrapper when accessing URL query parameters in client components. Use when building search interfaces, filters, pagination, or any feature that needs to read/manipulate URL query parameters client-side.
