Enhancing Forms with React Server Components
summary
Builds a chat-style form using Next.js App Router with React Server Components, Prisma + SQLite and Tailwind, and shows a concrete workflow: a server action (use server) receives FormData, validates with Zod, inserts to the database, calls revalidatePath, and a client-only automatic scroller (MutationObserver) wraps server-rendered messages. Uses useActionState for server-returned state and pending flag, demonstrates optimistic updates with useOptimistic and automatic rollback on mismatch, enforces a message limit (5→8 in demo) and shows the form still works without JavaScript.
