## Next.js: React yang Udah Siap Tempur Bayangin kamu beli motor. React itu kayak mesin motor doang - powerful, tapi kamu harus rakit sendiri stang, rem, lampu, dll. Next.js? Motor yang udah lengkap siap pakai. Tinggal gas! Next.js ngasih kamu: - **Routing** - Ga perlu setup React Router - **SEO** - Server-side rendering bawaan - **Performance** - Optimisasi otomatis - **API Routes** - Backend dalam satu project - **Deployment** - One-click deploy ## Kenapa Pakai Next.js 16? ### Keuntungan yang Bikin Beda: 1. **Turbopack = Super Cepat** - Dev server 5-10x lebih cepat, build 2-5x lebih cepat 2. **Zero Config** - Install langsung jalan, ga perlu setup webpack, babel, dll 3. **Full-stack Framework** - Frontend + Backend dalam satu codebase 4. **Production Ready** - Optimisasi otomatis (code splitting, image optimization, dll) 5. **SEO Friendly** - Server components bikin Google seneng 6. **Developer Experience Mantap** - Hot reload cepat, error messages jelas ### Apa yang Baru di Next.js 16? Next.js 16 adalah update terbaru yang rilis 21 Oktober 2025, bawa perubahan MAJOR yang bikin development makin cepat dan efisien. Beberapa fitur kunci yang wajib kamu tau: #### 1. Turbopack: Sekarang DEFAULT untuk Semua! Ini penting banget! Turbopack bukan cuma stable, tapi sekarang jadi **default bundler** buat `next dev` dan `next build`. **Peningkatan performa yang gila:** - **5-10x faster** Fast Refresh (hot reload) - **2-5x faster** builds - **Filesystem caching** - compile artifacts disimpan, restart jadi super cepat **Penjelasan:** - Di Next.js 15: Turbopack harus di-enable manual pake `--turbo` flag - Di Next.js 16: Turbopack otomatis jadi default, ga perlu config apa-apa! Kalau mau balik ke Webpack (not recommended): ```bash # Pake Webpack (old bundler) next dev --webpack next build --webpack ``` Tapi kenapa mau balik? Turbopack jauh lebih cepat! #### 2. Cache Components & Partial Pre-Rendering (PPR) Next.js 16 introduce model caching baru dengan **Cache Components**. ```typescript // next.config.ts const nextConfig = { cacheComponents: true, // Enable Cache Components } export default nextConfig ``` **Apa itu Cache Components?** - Cara baru buat optimize rendering dengan PPR (Partial Pre-Rendering) - Gabungin static dan dynamic content dalam satu page - Navigasi instan dengan smart caching - Lebih efisien dari model caching sebelumnya **Contoh penggunaan:** ```typescript // app/posts/page.tsx export default async function PostsPage() { // Static part - di-cache const categories = await getCategories() return (

Posts

{/* Static sidebar - cached */} {/* Dynamic content - fresh */} }>

) } ``` **Manfaat:** - Page load lebih cepat (static part instant, dynamic streaming) - Better UX (ga perlu wait semua data) - SEO-friendly (static content indexed) #### 3. proxy.ts Replaces middleware.ts (BREAKING CHANGE!) Ini breaking change penting! `middleware.ts` sekarang deprecated dan diganti `proxy.ts`. **Kenapa diganti?** - Memperjelas network boundary - Lebih jelas fungsinya sebagai proxy - Runtime sekarang **Node.js** (bukan Edge) **Migration:** **Before (Next.js 15):** ```typescript // middleware.ts export function middleware(request: NextRequest) { // Middleware logic return NextResponse.next() } ``` **After (Next.js 16):** ```typescript // proxy.ts export function proxy(request: NextRequest) { // Proxy logic return NextResponse.next() } ``` **IMPORTANT Changes:** - File name: `middleware.ts` → `proxy.ts` - Function name: `middleware` → `proxy` - Runtime: Edge → **Node.js only** (ga bisa config) - Location tetap sama: root project atau di `src/` **Example proxy.ts:** ```typescript // proxy.ts import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server' export function proxy(request: NextRequest) { // Check authentication const token = request.cookies.get('token') if (!token && request.nextUrl.pathname.startsWith('/dashboard')) { return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/login', request.url)) } // Add custom headers const response = NextResponse.next() response.headers.set('x-custom-header', 'value') return response } // Config tetap sama export const config = { matcher: '/dashboard/:path*' } ``` #### 4. Turbopack Filesystem Caching Turbopack sekarang support **filesystem caching** di development mode. **Apa artinya?** - Compiler artifacts (hasil compile) disimpan ke disk - Restart dev server jadi jauh lebih cepat - Ga perlu recompile everything dari nol **Manfaat:** - First start: Normal speed - Restart kedua dan seterusnya: **Super cepat** (load dari cache) - Perfect buat large codebases Cache disimpan di `.next/cache/turbopack/` - auto-managed, ga perlu manual cleanup. #### 5. Next.js DevTools MCP (AI-Assisted Debugging) Next.js 16 introduce **DevTools MCP** (Model Context Protocol) - AI assistant buat debugging! **Apa itu MCP?** - Integration dengan AI tools (like Claude, ChatGPT) - AI dapat contextual insight tentang app kamu - Debug lebih cepat dengan AI assistance **Cara kerja:** 1. MCP expose context app ke AI tools 2. AI bisa analisis errors, struktur code, dan kasih saran perbaikan 3. Real-time insights pas development Ini masih experimental tapi potensinya gede buat mempercepat debugging. #### 6. React 19 Support (Stable) Next.js 16 support penuh React 19 (versi stable): - **React Compiler** - Optimisasi otomatis tanpa manual memoization - Concurrent rendering yang lebih baik - Dukungan Suspense yang lebih baik - Hooks dan fitur baru ## Cara Install Next.js 16 Gampang banget, tinggal jalanin command ini: ```bash # Create new Next.js 16 app npx create-next-app@latest my-app # Install dependencies dan masuk ke folder cd my-app # Run development server (Turbopack is default!) npm run dev ``` **Apa yang terjadi:** 1. Download Next.js 16 dan dependencies 2. Setup struktur project 3. Konfigurasi Turbopack sebagai default bundler 4. Generate app dengan App Router Buka `http://localhost:3000` dan boom! Next.js 16 running dengan Turbopack! ## Upgrade dari Next.js 15 Kalau kamu udah punya project Next.js 15: ```bash # Update Next.js npm install next@latest react@latest react-dom@latest # Update TypeScript types (kalau pake TypeScript) npm install -D @types/react@latest @types/react-dom@latest ``` **Breaking Changes yang perlu di-handle:** ### 1. Migrate middleware.ts ke proxy.ts ```bash # Rename file mv middleware.ts proxy.ts # Atau kalau di src folder mv src/middleware.ts src/proxy.ts ``` Update function name di file: ```typescript // Ganti export name export function proxy(request: NextRequest) { // Was: middleware // Your logic stays the same } ``` ### 2. Update experimental PPR config (kalau kamu pake) **Before:** ```typescript // next.config.ts const nextConfig = { experimental: { ppr: true, // Deprecated! } } ``` **After:** ```typescript // next.config.ts const nextConfig = { cacheComponents: true, // New way } ``` ### 3. Remove --turbo flag (optional) Di Next.js 16, Turbopack udah default. Kamu bisa remove `--turbo` flag dari scripts: **Before:** ```json { "scripts": { "dev": "next dev --turbo" } } ``` **After:** ```json { "scripts": { "dev": "next dev" // Turbopack is automatic } } ``` ## Struktur Folder ``` my-app/ ├── app/ │ ├── layout.tsx │ ├── page.tsx │ └── globals.css ├── proxy.ts # New! (was middleware.ts) ├── public/ ├── components/ ├── next.config.ts └── package.json ``` ### App Router Next.js 16 tetap pake App Router sebagai default. Setiap folder di dalam `app/` otomatis jadi route. ```typescript // app/page.tsx export default function Home() { return (

Welcome to Next.js 16!

); } ``` Simple kan? Folder = Route. That's it. ## Server vs Client Components Ini yang sering bikin bingung di awal. Di Next.js 16, semua komponen itu Server Components by default. Mau bikin Client Component? Tambahin `'use client'` di paling atas file: ```typescript 'use client'; import { useState } from 'react'; export function Counter() { const [count, setCount] = useState(0); return ( ); } ``` ### Kapan Pake Server vs Client? - **Server Components**: Untuk fetch data, akses database, atau render static content - **Client Components**: Untuk interactivity, useState, useEffect, event handlers **Penjelasan buat pemula:** - `'use client'` artinya: "komponen ini butuh JavaScript di browser" - Tanpa `'use client'`: komponen render di server, kirim HTML ke browser (lebih cepat!) - Default server component itu good thing - website jadi lebih cepat ## Turbopack Performance Tips Karena Turbopack sekarang default, beberapa tips buat maximize performance: ### 1. Leverage Filesystem Cache Restart dev server sesering mungkin bakal fast thanks to caching: ```bash # Stop server (Ctrl+C) # Start again npm run dev # Super fast startup dari cache! ``` ### 2. Keep Dependencies Updated Turbopack optimized buat modern packages: ```bash # Check outdated packages npm outdated # Update safely npm update ``` ### 3. Monitor .next/cache Cache folder bakal grow over time. Kalau penuh: ```bash # Clear Next.js cache rm -rf .next/cache # Or clear everything rm -rf .next ``` ## Cache Components: Deep Dive Cache Components bikin beda banget buat performa. Yuk kita bahas lebih detail. ### Enable Cache Components ```typescript // next.config.ts const nextConfig = { cacheComponents: true, } export default nextConfig ``` ### Cara Kerjanya Cache Components detect static vs dynamic parts otomatis: ```typescript // app/dashboard/page.tsx export default async function Dashboard() { // Static data - cached const config = await getAppConfig() // Dynamic data - fresh every time const user = await getCurrentUser() const notifications = await getNotifications() return (

{/* Static UI - cached */} {/* Dynamic UI - streamed */}

) } ``` **Manfaat:** - Sidebar render instant dari cache - User profile dan notifications selalu fresh - Dapet yang terbaik dari kedua dunia! ### Cache Strategies ```typescript // Opt-in to caching specific components export const revalidate = 3600 // Revalidate every hour export default async function StaticContent() { const data = await fetchData() return

{data}

} ``` ```typescript // Force dynamic (no cache) export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic' export default async function AlwaysFresh() { const data = await fetchRealTimeData() return

{data}

} ``` ## Contoh Penggunaan proxy.ts Beberapa contoh penggunaan umum buat `proxy.ts`: ### 1. Authentication Guard ```typescript // proxy.ts import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server' export function proxy(request: NextRequest) { const token = request.cookies.get('session') const { pathname } = request.nextUrl // Protected routes const protectedPaths = ['/dashboard', '/profile', '/settings'] const isProtected = protectedPaths.some(path => pathname.startsWith(path)) if (isProtected && !token) { // Redirect ke login return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/login', request.url)) } return NextResponse.next() } ``` ### 2. Add Custom Headers ```typescript // proxy.ts export function proxy(request: NextRequest) { const response = NextResponse.next() // Security headers response.headers.set('X-Frame-Options', 'DENY') response.headers.set('X-Content-Type-Options', 'nosniff') response.headers.set('Referrer-Policy', 'origin-when-cross-origin') return response } ``` ### 3. Locale Detection & Redirect ```typescript // proxy.ts export function proxy(request: NextRequest) { const { pathname } = request.nextUrl // Skip if already has locale if (pathname.startsWith('/en') || pathname.startsWith('/id')) { return NextResponse.next() } // Detect locale dari header const locale = request.headers.get('accept-language')?.startsWith('id') ? 'id' : 'en' // Redirect ke locale path return NextResponse.redirect(new URL(`/${locale}${pathname}`, request.url)) } ``` ## Server Actions (Stable) Server Actions tetap stable dan improved di Next.js 16: ```typescript // app/actions.ts 'use server' export async function createPost(formData: FormData) { const title = formData.get('title') as string const content = formData.get('content') as string // Validate if (!title || title.length < 3) { return { error: 'Title too short' } } // Save to database const post = await db.post.create({ data: { title, content } }) // Revalidate cache revalidatePath('/posts') // Redirect redirect(`/posts/${post.id}`) } ``` ```typescript // app/new-post/page.tsx import { createPost } from '../actions' export default function NewPostPage() { return (

<button type="submit">Create Post</button>
  </form>
 )
}
```

**Penjelasan:**
- `'use server'` artinya: function ini jalan di server, bukan browser
- Form submission otomatis di-handle tanpa JavaScript
- Progressive enhancement: tetep jalan meski tanpa JS!
- `revalidatePath` bersihin cache buat path tertentu

## Data Fetching di Next.js 16

```typescript
// app/posts/page.tsx
// Server Component by default

async function getPosts() {
 // No cache by default (dari Next.js 15+)
 const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/posts')

if (!res.ok) {
  throw new Error('Failed to fetch posts')
 }

return res.json()
}

export default async function PostsPage() {
 const posts = await getPosts()

return (
  <div>
   <h1>Posts</h1>
   {posts.map(post => (
    <article key={post.id}>
     <h2>{post.title}</h2>
     <p>{post.excerpt}</p>
    </article>
   ))}
  </div>
 )
}
```

**Catatan penting:**
- Server Components bisa langsung `async`
- Fetch data langsung di component, ga perlu `useEffect`
- Error handling pake `error.tsx` file (Next.js convention)

## Loading & Error States

Next.js punya convention file buat loading dan error:

```typescript
// app/posts/loading.tsx
export default function Loading() {
 return (
  <div>
   <p>Loading posts...</p>
   {/* Add skeleton loaders here */}
   <div className="animate-pulse space-y-4">
    <div className="h-8 bg-gray-200 rounded w-3/4"></div>
    <div className="h-4 bg-gray-200 rounded w-full"></div>
    <div className="h-4 bg-gray-200 rounded w-5/6"></div>
   </div>
  </div>
 )
}

// app/posts/error.tsx
'use client' // Error components must be Client Components

export default function Error({
 error,
 reset,
}: {
 error: Error & { digest?: string }
 reset: () => void
}) {
 return (
  <div>
   <h2>Something went wrong!</h2>
   <p>{error.message}</p>
   <button onClick={reset}>Try again</button>
  </div>
 )
}
```

**Cara kerjanya:**
- `loading.tsx` otomatis muncul saat fetch data
- `error.tsx` tangkap errors di route tersebut
- Built-in error boundary & dukungan Suspense

## Tips Buat Pemula

1. **Mulai dari yang simple** - Jangan langsung bikin app kompleks, pahami basic dulu
2. **Nikmatin kecepatan Turbopack** - Default di v16, ga perlu config!
3. **Pake Server Components by default** - Cuma pake Client Component kalau butuh interactivity
4. **Pahami Cache Components** - Powerful buat optimisasi performa
5. **Migrate middleware.ts ke proxy.ts** - Breaking change yang penting
6. **Manfaatin filesystem cache** - Restart dev server bakal super cepat
7. **Eksplor dokumentasi** - Docs Next.js salah satu yang terbaik di industri

## Kesalahan Umum

### 1. Lupa 'use client'
```typescript
// Error: useState ga bisa di Server Component
import { useState } from 'react'

export default function Counter() {
 const [count, setCount] = useState(0) // Error!
 // ...
}

// Add 'use client'
'use client'

import { useState } from 'react'

export default function Counter() {
 const [count, setCount] = useState(0) // Works!
 // ...
}
```

### 2. Still using middleware.ts
```typescript
// Deprecated in Next.js 16
// middleware.ts
export function middleware(request) { ... }

// Use proxy.ts
// proxy.ts
export function proxy(request) { ... }
```

### 3. Trying to use Edge runtime in proxy.ts
```typescript
// Edge runtime NOT supported in proxy.ts
// proxy.ts
export const config = {
 runtime: 'edge' // Error! Not allowed
}

// proxy.ts always runs on Node.js runtime
// No runtime config needed
export function proxy(request) { ... }
```

### 4. Forgetting to enable cacheComponents for PPR
```typescript
// PPR won't work without config
// next.config.ts
const nextConfig = {
 experimental: {
  ppr: true // Deprecated!
 }
}

// Enable Cache Components
const nextConfig = {
 cacheComponents: true // New way in Next.js 16
}
```

## Performance Comparison: Next.js 15 vs 16

| Metric | Next.js 15 | Next.js 16 | Improvement |
|--------|-----------|-----------|-------------|
| Dev server startup | Baseline | 2-5x faster | With Turbopack default |
| Hot reload (HMR) | Baseline | 5-10x faster | With Turbopack + caching |
| Cold build | Baseline | 2-5x faster | Turbopack production |
| Warm build | Baseline | Even faster | Filesystem caching |
| Bundle size | Good | Better | Improved tree-shaking |

## Real-World Example: Blog dengan Comments

```typescript
// app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx
import { notFound } from 'next/navigation'
import { CommentForm } from './comment-form'
import { Comments } from './comments'

// Fetch post di server
async function getPost(slug: string) {
 const res = await fetch(`https://api.example.com/posts/${slug}`, {
  next: { revalidate: 3600 } // Cache 1 jam
 })

if (!res.ok) return null
 return res.json()
}

export default async function BlogPost({
 params
}: {
 params: { slug: string }
}) {
 const post = await getPost(params.slug)

if (!post) notFound()

return (
  <article>
   <h1>{post.title}</h1>
   <time>{new Date(post.date).toLocaleDateString('id')}</time>

{/* Comments - dynamic */}
   <section>
    <h2>Comments</h2>
    <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading comments...</div>}>
     <Comments postId={post.id} />
    </Suspense>
    <CommentForm postId={post.id} />
   </section>
  </article>
 )
}

// Generate static params buat SEO
export async function generateStaticParams() {
 const posts = await fetch('https://api.example.com/posts').then(r => r.json())

return posts.map((post) => ({
  slug: post.slug,
 }))
}

// SEO metadata
export async function generateMetadata({ params }) {
 const post = await getPost(params.slug)

return {
  title: post.title,
  description: post.excerpt,
  openGraph: {
   title: post.title,
   description: post.excerpt,
   images: [post.cover],
  },
 }
}
```

```typescript
// app/blog/[slug]/comment-form.tsx
'use client'

import { useState } from 'react'

export function CommentForm({ postId }: { postId: string }) {
 const [name, setName] = useState('')
 const [comment, setComment] = useState('')
 const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false)

async function handleSubmit(e: React.FormEvent) {
  e.preventDefault()
  setLoading(true)

try {
   await fetch('/api/comments', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({ postId, name, comment })
   })

setName('')
   setComment('')
   alert('Comment posted!')
  } catch (error) {
   alert('Failed to post comment')
  } finally {
   setLoading(false)
  }
 }

return (
  <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
   <input
    type="text"
    placeholder="Your name"
    value={name}
    onChange={(e) => setName(e.target.value)}
    required
   />
   <textarea
    placeholder="Your comment"
    value={comment}
    onChange={(e) => setComment(e.target.value)}
    required
   />
   <button type="submit" disabled={loading}>
    {loading ? 'Posting...' : 'Post Comment'}
   </button>
  </form>
 )
}
```

Ini menunjukkan:
- Server components buat fetch data
- Client components buat interactivity
- Optimisasi SEO dengan metadata
- Streaming dengan Suspense
- API routes untuk submit comments
