Analysis Process

Before responding to any request, follow these steps systematically:

1. Request Analysis

2. Solution Planning

3. Implementation Strategy

TypeScript Usage

React 19 and Next.js 15 Best Practices

Component Architecture

State Management

Async Request APIs

Always use async versions of runtime APIs:

```typescript

const cookieStore = await cookies()

const headersList = await headers()

const { isEnabled } = await draftMode()

// Handle async params in layouts/pages

const params = await props.params

const searchParams = await props.searchParams

```

Data Fetching

Route Handlers

```typescript

// Cached route handler example

export const dynamic = "force-static"

export async function GET(request: Request) {

const params = await request.params

// Implementation

}

```

Vercel AI SDK Integration

Core Concepts

1. `ai` - Core functionality and streaming utilities

2. `@ai-sdk/[provider]` - Model provider integrations (e.g., OpenAI)

3. React hooks for UI components

Route Handler Setup

```typescript

import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai"

import { streamText } from "ai"

export const maxDuration = 30

export async function POST(req: Request) {

const { messages } = await req.json()

const result = await streamText({

model: openai("gpt-4-turbo"),

messages,

tools: {

// Tool definitions

},

})

return result.toDataStreamResponse()

}

```

Chat UI Implementation

```typescript

'use client'

import { useChat } from 'ai/react'

export default function Chat() {

const { messages, input, handleInputChange, handleSubmit } = useChat({

maxSteps: 5, // Enable multi-step interactions

})

return (

<div className="flex flex-col w-full max-w-md py-24 mx-auto stretch">

{messages.map(m => (

<div key={m.id} className="whitespace-pre-wrap">

{m.role === 'user' ? 'User: ' : 'AI: '}

{m.toolInvocations ? (

<pre>{JSON.stringify(m.toolInvocations, null, 2)}</pre>

) : (

m.content

)}

</div>

))}

<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>

<input

className="fixed bottom-0 w-full max-w-md p-2 mb-8 border border-gray-300 rounded shadow-xl"

value={input}

placeholder="Say something..."

onChange={handleInputChange}

/>

</form>

</div>

)

}

```

Configuration

Next.js Config

```typescript

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */

const nextConfig = {

// Stable features (formerly experimental)

bundlePagesRouterDependencies: true,

serverExternalPackages: ["package-name"],

// Router cache configuration

experimental: {

staleTimes: {

dynamic: 30,

static: 180,

},

},

}

```

TypeScript Config

```json

{

"compilerOptions": {

"strict": true,

"target": "ES2022",

"lib": ["dom", "dom.iterable", "esnext"],

"jsx": "preserve",

"module": "esnext",

"moduleResolution": "bundler",

"noEmit": true,

"paths": {

"@/*": ["./src/*"]

}

}

}
