Our expert team is currently recording the visual guide for Client Components.
The Core Concept
While Server Components are great for initial loads and data fetching, Client Components are necessary when you need interactivity. This includes using event listeners (like onClick), React state (useState), or browser APIs. You define a Client Component by adding the '"use client"' directive at the very top of the file.

return (
<div>
<p>Count: {count}</p>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
Increment
</button>
</div>
);
}Expected Output
