help Next.js Documentation FAQ
Does the Next.js documentation cover both App Router and Pages Router?
Yes. The official docs separate App Router guidance, built around the app directory and React Server Components, from Pages Router guidance built around the pages directory.
Where do the Next.js docs explain server components and client components?
The App Router section explains Server Components and the 'use client' directive. That matters because modern Next.js apps often split data fetching and interactivity between server-rendered and browser-rendered components.
Does the documentation only assume deployment on Vercel?
No. Vercel maintains Next.js, so Vercel deployment is covered heavily, but the docs also describe production builds and self-hosting concepts for Node.js environments.
What parts of the docs should a React developer read first?
A React developer should start with routing, layouts, loading states, Route Handlers, and data fetching in the App Router docs. Those sections explain the biggest differences from a plain React single-page app.
