Master RSCs with React Router | Mark Dalgleish | PodRocket
Mark Dalgleish joins PodRocket to talk about the latest in React Router, including its growing support for React Server Components (RSCs).
He breaks down what RSC data mode, framework mode, and declarative mode mean for developers, and how features like the middleware API and route module API are simplifying work across tools like Vite and Parcel.
We also dive into how React 19, static site generation with RSC, and smarter data batching are reshaping performance and the future of server-side rendering in React apps.
