+# Next.js Data Fetching
+
+Server-side data fetching, caching strategies, revalidation, and loading patterns.
+
+## Fetch API Extensions
+
+Next.js extends native fetch with caching and revalidation:
+
+```tsx
+// Force cache (default) - cache forever
+fetch('https://api.example.com/data', { cache: 'force-cache' })
+
+// No cache - fetch on every request
+fetch('https://api.example.com/data', { cache: 'no-store' })
+
+// Revalidate - cache with time-based revalidation
+fetch('https://api.example.com/data', { next: { revalidate: 3600 } })
+
+// Tag-based revalidation
+fetch('https://api.example.com/data', { next: { tags: ['posts'] } })
+```
+
+## Caching Strategies
+
+### Static Data (Default)
+
+Fetched at build time, cached indefinitely:
+
+```tsx
+// app/posts/page.tsx
+async function getPosts() {
+  const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/posts')
+  // Same as: fetch(url, { cache: 'force-cache' })
+  return res.json()
+}
+
+export default async function Posts() {
+  const posts = await getPosts()
+  return <PostsList posts={posts} />
+}
+```
+
+Use for: Content that rarely changes, static pages
+
+### Dynamic Data
+
+Fetched on every request:
+
+```tsx
+async function getUser() {
+  const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/user', {
+    cache: 'no-store'
+  })
+  return res.json()
+}
+
+export default async function Profile() {
+  const user = await getUser()
+  return <div>{user.name}</div>
+}
+```
+
+Use for: User-specific data, real-time content
+
+### Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR)
+
+Revalidate cached data after time period:
+
+```tsx
+async function getPosts() {
+  const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/posts', {
+    next: { revalidate: 60 } // Revalidate every 60 seconds
+  })
+  return res.json()
+}
+
+export default async function Posts() {
+  const posts = await getPosts()
+  return <PostsList posts={posts} />
+}
+```
+
+How it works:
+1. First request: Generate page, cache it
+2. Subsequent requests: Serve cached page
+3. After 60s: Next request triggers regeneration in background
+4. New page cached, served to subsequent requests
+
+Use for: News sites, blogs, product listings
+
+## Revalidation Strategies
+
+### Time-Based Revalidation
+
+```tsx
+// Revalidate every hour
+fetch('https://api.example.com/posts', {
+  next: { revalidate: 3600 }
+})
+
+// Revalidate every 10 seconds
+fetch('https://api.example.com/trending', {
+  next: { revalidate: 10 }
+})
+```
+
+### On-Demand Revalidation
+
+Revalidate specific paths or tags programmatically:
+
+```tsx
+// app/actions.ts
+'use server'
+
+import { revalidatePath, revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'
+
+export async function createPost(formData: FormData) {
+  const post = await db.post.create({
+    data: {
+      title: formData.get('title'),
+      content: formData.get('content')
+    }
+  })
+
+  // Revalidate specific path
+  revalidatePath('/posts')
+  revalidatePath(`/posts/${post.id}`)
+
+  // Or revalidate by tag
+  revalidateTag('posts')
+}
+```
+
+Tag-based revalidation:
+```tsx
+// Fetch with tags
+async function getPosts() {
+  const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/posts', {
+    next: { tags: ['posts', 'content'] }
+  })
+  return res.json()
+}
+
+async function getComments(postId: string) {
+  const res = await fetch(`https://api.example.com/comments/${postId}`, {
+    next: { tags: ['comments', `post-${postId}`] }
+  })
+  return res.json()
+}
+
+// Revalidate all 'posts' tagged requests
+revalidateTag('posts')
+
+// Revalidate specific post comments
+revalidateTag(`post-${postId}`)
+```
+
+### Route Segment Config
+
+Configure entire route segment:
+
+```tsx
+// app/posts/page.tsx
+export const revalidate = 3600 // Revalidate every hour
+
+export default async function Posts() {
+  const posts = await fetch('https://api.example.com/posts').then(r => r.json())
+  return <PostsList posts={posts} />
+}
+```
+
+Options:
+```tsx
+export const dynamic = 'auto' // default
+export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic' // no caching
+export const dynamic = 'error' // error if dynamic
+export const dynamic = 'force-static' // force static
+
+export const revalidate = false // never revalidate (default)
+export const revalidate = 0 // no cache
+export const revalidate = 60 // revalidate every 60s
+
+export const fetchCache = 'auto' // default
+export const fetchCache = 'default-cache'
+export const fetchCache = 'only-cache'
+export const fetchCache = 'force-cache'
+export const fetchCache = 'default-no-store'
+export const fetchCache = 'only-no-store'
+export const fetchCache = 'force-no-store'
+```
+
+## Data Fetching Patterns
+
+### Parallel Fetching
+
+Fetch multiple resources simultaneously:
+
+```tsx
+async function getData() {
+  // Start both requests in parallel
+  const [posts, users] = await Promise.all([
+    fetch('https://api.example.com/posts').then(r => r.json()),
+    fetch('https://api.example.com/users').then(r => r.json())
+  ])
+
+  return { posts, users }
+}
+
+export default async function Page() {
+  const { posts, users } = await getData()
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <PostsList posts={posts} />
+      <UsersList users={users} />
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+### Sequential Fetching
+
+Fetch dependent data:
+
+```tsx
+async function getData(postId: string) {
+  // Fetch post first
+  const post = await fetch(`https://api.example.com/posts/${postId}`).then(r => r.json())
+
+  // Then fetch author based on post data
+  const author = await fetch(`https://api.example.com/users/${post.authorId}`).then(r => r.json())
+
+  return { post, author }
+}
+
+export default async function Post({ params }: { params: { id: string } }) {
+  const { post, author } = await getData(params.id)
+  return (
+    <article>
+      <h1>{post.title}</h1>
+      <p>By {author.name}</p>
+      <div>{post.content}</div>
+    </article>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+### Preloading Data
+
+Optimize sequential waterfalls:
+
+```tsx
+// lib/data.ts
+import { cache } from 'react'
+
+export const getUser = cache(async (id: string) => {
+  const res = await fetch(`https://api.example.com/users/${id}`)
+  return res.json()
+})
+
+// app/user/[id]/page.tsx
+import { getUser } from '@/lib/data'
+
+// Preload before component renders
+async function preload(id: string) {
+  void getUser(id) // Start fetching immediately
+}
+
+export default async function User({ params }: { params: { id: string } }) {
+  preload(params.id) // Start fetch
+  // Render other UI
+  const user = await getUser(params.id) // Will use cached result
+
+  return <div>{user.name}</div>
+}
+```
+
+## Loading States
+
+### Loading File
+
+Automatic loading UI:
+
+```tsx
+// app/dashboard/loading.tsx
+export default function Loading() {
+  return <div className="spinner">Loading dashboard...</div>
+}
+
+// app/dashboard/page.tsx
+export default async function Dashboard() {
+  const data = await fetchDashboard()
+  return <DashboardView data={data} />
+}
+```
+
+### Suspense Boundaries
+
+Granular loading states:
+
+```tsx
+// app/dashboard/page.tsx
+import { Suspense } from 'react'
+
+async function Revenue() {
+  const data = await fetchRevenue() // 2s
+  return <RevenueChart data={data} />
+}
+
+async function Sales() {
+  const data = await fetchSales() // 0.5s
+  return <SalesTable data={data} />
+}
+
+export default function Dashboard() {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <h1>Dashboard</h1>
+
+      <Suspense fallback={<RevenueChartSkeleton />}>
+        <Revenue />
+      </Suspense>
+
+      <Suspense fallback={<SalesTableSkeleton />}>
+        <Sales />
+      </Suspense>
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+Sales loads after 0.5s, Revenue after 2s - no blocking.
+
+## Static Generation
+
+### generateStaticParams
+
+Pre-render dynamic routes at build time:
+
+```tsx
+// app/posts/[slug]/page.tsx
+export async function generateStaticParams() {
+  const posts = await fetch('https://api.example.com/posts').then(r => r.json())
+
+  return posts.map(post => ({
+    slug: post.slug
+  }))
+}
+
+export default async function Post({ params }: { params: { slug: string } }) {
+  const post = await fetch(`https://api.example.com/posts/${params.slug}`).then(r => r.json())
+  return <article>{post.content}</article>
+}
+```
+
+Generates static pages at build:
+- `/posts/hello-world`
+- `/posts/nextjs-guide`
+- `/posts/react-tips`
+
+### Dynamic Params Handling
+
+```tsx
+// app/posts/[slug]/page.tsx
+export const dynamicParams = true // default - generate on-demand if not pre-rendered
+
+export const dynamicParams = false // 404 for paths not in generateStaticParams
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Try-Catch in Server Components
+
+```tsx
+async function getData() {
+  try {
+    const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
+
+    if (!res.ok) {
+      throw new Error('Failed to fetch data')
+    }
+
+    return res.json()
+  } catch (error) {
+    console.error('Data fetch error:', error)
+    return null
+  }
+}
+
+export default async function Page() {
+  const data = await getData()
+
+  if (!data) {
+    return <div>Failed to load data</div>
+  }
+
+  return <DataView data={data} />
+}
+```
+
+### Error Boundaries
+
+```tsx
+// app/error.tsx
+'use client'
+
+export default function Error({
+  error,
+  reset,
+}: {
+  error: Error & { digest?: string }
+  reset: () => void
+}) {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <h2>Something went wrong!</h2>
+      <button onClick={() => reset()}>Try again</button>
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+## Database Queries
+
+Direct database access in Server Components:
+
+```tsx
+// lib/db.ts
+import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client'
+
+const prisma = new PrismaClient()
+
+export async function getPosts() {
+  return prisma.post.findMany({
+    include: { author: true },
+    orderBy: { createdAt: 'desc' }
+  })
+}
+
+// app/posts/page.tsx
+import { getPosts } from '@/lib/db'
+
+export default async function Posts() {
+  const posts = await getPosts()
+  return <PostsList posts={posts} />
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Default to static** - Use `cache: 'force-cache'` or default behavior
+2. **Use ISR for semi-dynamic content** - Balance freshness and performance
+3. **Fetch in parallel** - Use `Promise.all()` for independent requests
+4. **Add loading states** - Use Suspense for better UX
+5. **Handle errors gracefully** - Provide fallbacks and error boundaries
+6. **Use on-demand revalidation** - Trigger updates after mutations
+7. **Tag your fetches** - Enable granular cache invalidation
+8. **Dedupe automatically** - Next.js dedupes identical fetch requests
+9. **Avoid client-side fetching** - Use Server Components when possible
+10. **Cache database queries** - Use React cache() for expensive queries
