Next/13/Upsert Use Client Directive

/icons/calendar.svg

Last update

Jul 24, 2024

Since Next.js 13.4, you can mark the files that contain only client-side code with the use client directive at the top.

The codemod will look for identifiers and string literals common for files that contain client-side code, such as React hooks or event handlers. On the other hand, it will not upsert any directive should it spot elements indicating server-side code.

The codemod will not remove the existing use client directive even if it would suggest otherwise due to the code in question.

Example

Before

import { useState } from 'react';
export default function Page() {
const [x, setX] = useState('');
return x;
}

After

'use client';
import { useState } from 'react';
export default function Page() {
const [x, setX] = useState('');
return x;
}
