## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Next.js 16 introduces significant changes:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Breaking Changes**: 6 major breaking changes
|
||||
- **New Features**: Cache Components, updated caching APIs, React 19.2
|
||||
- **Performance**: Turbopack stable, 2–5× faster builds
|
||||
- **Migration Time**: ~1-2 hours for medium-sized apps
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation**: Use automated codemod first, then manually fix remaining issues.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Breaking Changes
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Async Route Parameters ⚠️
|
||||
|
||||
**What Changed**: `params`, `searchParams`, `cookies()`, `headers()`, `draftMode()` are now async.
|
||||
|
||||
**Before** (Next.js 15):
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
export default function Page({ params, searchParams }) {
|
||||
const slug = params.slug
|
||||
const query = searchParams.q
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**After** (Next.js 16):
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
export default async function Page({ params, searchParams }) {
|
||||
const { slug } = await params
|
||||
const { q: query } = await searchParams
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**TypeScript Types**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Before
|
||||
type PageProps = {
|
||||
params: { slug: string }
|
||||
searchParams: { q: string }
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// After
|
||||
type PageProps = {
|
||||
params: Promise<{ slug: string }>
|
||||
searchParams: Promise<{ q: string }>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**:
|
||||
1. Add `async` to function
|
||||
2. Add `await` before params/searchParams
|
||||
3. Update TypeScript types to `Promise<>`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Middleware → Proxy ⚠️
|
||||
|
||||
**What Changed**: `middleware.ts` is deprecated. Use `proxy.ts` instead.
|
||||
|
||||
**Migration**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Rename file
|
||||
mv middleware.ts proxy.ts
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Rename function in file
|
||||
# middleware → proxy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Before** (middleware.ts):
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
|
||||
return NextResponse.next()
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**After** (proxy.ts):
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
export function proxy(request: NextRequest) {
|
||||
return NextResponse.next()
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: `middleware.ts` still works in Next.js 16 but is deprecated.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Parallel Routes Require `default.js` ⚠️
|
||||
|
||||
**What Changed**: All parallel routes now REQUIRE explicit `default.js` files.
|
||||
|
||||
**Before** (Next.js 15):
|
||||
```
|
||||
app/
|
||||
├── @modal/
|
||||
│ └── login/
|
||||
│ └── page.tsx
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**After** (Next.js 16):
|
||||
```
|
||||
app/
|
||||
├── @modal/
|
||||
│ ├── login/
|
||||
│ │ └── page.tsx
|
||||
│ └── default.tsx ← REQUIRED
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**default.tsx**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
export default function ModalDefault() {
|
||||
return null
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Add `default.tsx` to every `@folder` in parallel routes.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Removed Features ⚠️
|
||||
|
||||
**Removed**:
|
||||
- AMP support
|
||||
- `next lint` command
|
||||
- `serverRuntimeConfig` and `publicRuntimeConfig`
|
||||
- `experimental.ppr` flag
|
||||
- Automatic `scroll-behavior: smooth`
|
||||
- Node.js 18 support
|
||||
|
||||
**Migration**:
|
||||
|
||||
**AMP**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Before
|
||||
export const config = { amp: true }
|
||||
|
||||
// After
|
||||
// No direct replacement - use separate AMP pages or frameworks
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Linting**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Before
|
||||
npm run lint
|
||||
|
||||
# After
|
||||
npx eslint .
|
||||
# or
|
||||
npx biome lint .
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Runtime Config**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Before
|
||||
module.exports = {
|
||||
serverRuntimeConfig: { secret: 'abc' },
|
||||
publicRuntimeConfig: { apiUrl: 'https://api' },
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// After
|
||||
// Use environment variables
|
||||
process.env.SECRET
|
||||
process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Version Requirements ⚠️
|
||||
|
||||
**Minimum Versions**:
|
||||
- Node.js: 20.9+ (Node 18 removed)
|
||||
- TypeScript: 5.1+
|
||||
- React: 19.2+
|
||||
- Browsers: Chrome 111+, Safari 16.4+, Firefox 109+
|
||||
|
||||
**Upgrade Node.js**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check current version
|
||||
node --version
|
||||
|
||||
# Upgrade (using nvm)
|
||||
nvm install 20
|
||||
nvm use 20
|
||||
nvm alias default 20
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify
|
||||
node --version # Should be 20.9+
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Image Defaults Changed ⚠️
|
||||
|
||||
**What Changed**: `next/image` default settings changed.
|
||||
|
||||
| Setting | Next.js 15 | Next.js 16 |
|
||||
|---------|------------|------------|
|
||||
| TTL | 60s | 4 hours |
|
||||
| imageSizes | 8 sizes | 5 sizes |
|
||||
| qualities | 3 qualities | 1 quality (75) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact**: Images cache longer, fewer sizes generated.
|
||||
|
||||
**Revert** (if needed):
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// next.config.ts
|
||||
const config = {
|
||||
images: {
|
||||
minimumCacheTTL: 60, // Revert to 60 seconds
|
||||
imageSizes: [16, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 256, 384], // Old sizes
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## New Features
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Cache Components ✨
|
||||
|
||||
**Opt-in caching** with `"use cache"` directive.
|
||||
|
||||
**Before** (Next.js 15 - implicit caching):
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// All Server Components cached by default
|
||||
export async function MyComponent() {
|
||||
const data = await fetch('/api/data')
|
||||
return <div>{data.value}</div>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**After** (Next.js 16 - opt-in):
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// NOT cached by default
|
||||
export async function MyComponent() {
|
||||
const data = await fetch('/api/data')
|
||||
return <div>{data.value}</div>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Opt-in to caching
|
||||
'use cache'
|
||||
export async function CachedComponent() {
|
||||
const data = await fetch('/api/data')
|
||||
return <div>{data.value}</div>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**See**: `references/cache-components-guide.md`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Updated Caching APIs ✨
|
||||
|
||||
**`revalidateTag()` now requires 2 arguments**:
|
||||
|
||||
**Before**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
revalidateTag('posts')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**After**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
revalidateTag('posts', 'max') // Second argument required
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**New APIs**:
|
||||
- `updateTag()` - Immediate refresh (read-your-writes)
|
||||
- `refresh()` - Refresh uncached data only
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. React 19.2 Integration ✨
|
||||
|
||||
**New React features**:
|
||||
- View Transitions
|
||||
- `useEffectEvent()` (experimental)
|
||||
- React Compiler (stable)
|
||||
|
||||
**See**: `references/react-19-integration.md`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Turbopack Stable ✨
|
||||
|
||||
**Default bundler**: Turbopack is now stable and default.
|
||||
|
||||
**Metrics**:
|
||||
- 2–5× faster production builds
|
||||
- Up to 10× faster Fast Refresh
|
||||
|
||||
**Opt-out** (if incompatible):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run build -- --webpack
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Migration Steps
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Backup your project**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git commit -am "Pre-migration checkpoint"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Check Node.js version**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
node --version # Should be 20.9+
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Update dependencies**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install next@16 react@19.2 react-dom@19.2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Run Automated Codemod
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx @next/codemod@canary upgrade latest
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**What it fixes**:
|
||||
- ✅ Async params (adds `await`)
|
||||
- ✅ Async searchParams
|
||||
- ✅ Async cookies()
|
||||
- ✅ Async headers()
|
||||
- ✅ Updates TypeScript types
|
||||
|
||||
**What it does NOT fix**:
|
||||
- ❌ middleware.ts → proxy.ts (manual)
|
||||
- ❌ Parallel routes default.js (manual)
|
||||
- ❌ Removed features (manual)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Manual Fixes
|
||||
|
||||
#### Fix 1: Migrate middleware.ts → proxy.ts
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Rename file
|
||||
mv middleware.ts proxy.ts
|
||||
|
||||
# Update function name
|
||||
# middleware → proxy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Fix 2: Add default.js to Parallel Routes
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# For each @folder, create default.tsx
|
||||
touch app/@modal/default.tsx
|
||||
touch app/@feed/default.tsx
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// app/@modal/default.tsx
|
||||
export default function ModalDefault() {
|
||||
return null
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Fix 3: Replace Removed Features
|
||||
|
||||
**AMP**: Remove AMP config or migrate to separate AMP implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
**Linting**: Update scripts in `package.json`:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"scripts": {
|
||||
"lint": "eslint ."
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Runtime Config**: Use environment variables.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Update Caching
|
||||
|
||||
**Migrate from implicit to explicit caching**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Find Server Components with expensive operations
|
||||
2. Add `"use cache"` directive
|
||||
3. Update `revalidateTag()` calls to include `cacheLife`
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Before
|
||||
export async function ExpensiveComponent() {
|
||||
const data = await fetch('/api/data') // Cached implicitly
|
||||
return <div>{data.value}</div>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// After
|
||||
'use cache'
|
||||
export async function ExpensiveComponent() {
|
||||
const data = await fetch('/api/data') // Cached explicitly
|
||||
return <div>{data.value}</div>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5: Test
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Development
|
||||
npm run dev
|
||||
|
||||
# Production build
|
||||
npm run build
|
||||
|
||||
# Check for errors
|
||||
npm run type-check
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 6: Update CI/CD
|
||||
|
||||
**Update Node.js version** in CI config:
|
||||
|
||||
**.github/workflows/ci.yml**:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
|
||||
with:
|
||||
node-version: '20.9' # Update from 18
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Dockerfile**:
|
||||
```dockerfile
|
||||
FROM node:20.9-alpine # Update from node:18
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Automated Migration
|
||||
|
||||
**Codemod** (recommended):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx @next/codemod@canary upgrade latest
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Options**:
|
||||
- `--dry` - Preview changes without applying
|
||||
- `--force` - Skip confirmation prompts
|
||||
|
||||
**What it migrates**:
|
||||
1. ✅ Async params
|
||||
2. ✅ Async searchParams
|
||||
3. ✅ Async cookies()
|
||||
4. ✅ Async headers()
|
||||
5. ✅ TypeScript types
|
||||
|
||||
**Manual steps after codemod**:
|
||||
1. Rename middleware.ts → proxy.ts
|
||||
2. Add default.js to parallel routes
|
||||
3. Replace removed features
|
||||
4. Update caching patterns
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Manual Migration
|
||||
|
||||
If codemod fails or you prefer manual migration:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Async Params
|
||||
|
||||
**Find**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep -r "params\." app/
|
||||
grep -r "searchParams\." app/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Before
|
||||
const slug = params.slug
|
||||
|
||||
// After
|
||||
const { slug } = await params
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Async Cookies/Headers
|
||||
|
||||
**Find**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep -r "cookies()" app/
|
||||
grep -r "headers()" app/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Before
|
||||
const cookieStore = cookies()
|
||||
|
||||
// After
|
||||
const cookieStore = await cookies()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. TypeScript Types
|
||||
|
||||
**Find**: All `PageProps` types
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Before
|
||||
type PageProps = {
|
||||
params: { id: string }
|
||||
searchParams: { q: string }
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// After
|
||||
type PageProps = {
|
||||
params: Promise<{ id: string }>
|
||||
searchParams: Promise<{ q: string }>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Error: `params` is a Promise
|
||||
|
||||
**Cause**: Not awaiting params in Next.js 16.
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// ❌ Before
|
||||
const id = params.id
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ After
|
||||
const { id } = await params
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Error: Parallel route missing `default.js`
|
||||
|
||||
**Cause**: Next.js 16 requires `default.js` for all parallel routes.
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Create `default.tsx`:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// app/@modal/default.tsx
|
||||
export default function ModalDefault() {
|
||||
return null
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Error: `revalidateTag` requires 2 arguments
|
||||
|
||||
**Cause**: `revalidateTag()` API changed in Next.js 16.
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// ❌ Before
|
||||
revalidateTag('posts')
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ After
|
||||
revalidateTag('posts', 'max')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Error: Turbopack build failure
|
||||
|
||||
**Cause**: Turbopack is now default in Next.js 16.
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Opt-out if incompatible:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run build -- --webpack
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Error: Node.js version too old
|
||||
|
||||
**Cause**: Next.js 16 requires Node.js 20.9+.
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Upgrade Node.js:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
nvm install 20
|
||||
nvm use 20
|
||||
nvm alias default 20
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
