How Parcel Bundles React Server Components
summary
Parcel 2.14 adds first-class React Server Components support, showing a working Express example that renders server components to serialized RSC payloads and rehydrates them in the browser. It uses the use client directive to switch environments, creates proxy client references (module ID, export name, bundle URLs), and injects CSS link tags with React 19’s precedence/hoisting so styles load without FOUC. A unified module graph enables cross-environment code splitting and automatic preload of client bundles, eliminating the nested network waterfalls common to SPAs.
