Next.js 15 App Router: The Complete Guide

The App Router is now the default way to build Next.js applications. Here's everything you need to know.


Folder Structure

app/
  layout.tsx
  page.tsx
  blog/
    page.tsx
    [id]/
      page.tsx

Every folder with a page.tsx becomes a route automatically.


Server Components by Default

All components in the App Router are server components by default.

export default async function BlogPage() {
  const posts = await fetchPosts(); // runs on server
  return <PostList posts={posts} />;
}

Client Components

Add 'use client' for interactivity:

'use client';
import { useState } from 'react';

export default function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  return <button onClick={() => setCount(c => c + 1)}>{count}</button>;
}

Layouts

Layouts persist across routes:

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        <Navbar />
        {children}
        <Footer />
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

Final Thoughts

Next.js 15 App Router is the future of React development. Invest time in learning server components — they'll change how you build apps.

Happy Coding!
