## Next.js 15 Specific Types

### Page Component Types

```typescript
// app/products/[category]/[id]/page.tsx
interface PageProps {
  params: Promise<{
    category: string;
    id: string;
  }>;
  searchParams: Promise<{ [key: string]: string | string[] | undefined }>;
}

export default async function Page({ params, searchParams }: PageProps) {
  const { category, id } = await params;
  const search = await searchParams;
  // Component implementation
}
```

### Layout Types

```typescript
interface LayoutProps {
  children: React.ReactNode;
  // Parallel routes
  auth?: React.ReactNode;
  dashboard?: React.ReactNode;
}

export default function Layout({ children, auth, dashboard }: LayoutProps) {
  return (
    <div>
      {children}
      {auth}
      {dashboard}
    </div>
  );
}
```

### Server Action Types

```typescript
// Type-safe form state
type FormState = {
  errors?: {
    email?: string[];
    password?: string[];
  };
  message?: string;
  success?: boolean;
};

// Server action with typed return
export async function loginAction(
  prevState: FormState,
  formData: FormData
): Promise<FormState> {
  // Implementation
}
```

### API Route Types

```typescript
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server';

type ResponseData = {
  message: string;
  data?: unknown;
};

export async function GET(
  request: NextRequest,
  { params }: { params: Promise<{ id: string }> }
): Promise<NextResponse<ResponseData>> {
  const { id } = await params;
  
  return NextResponse.json({
    message: 'Success',
    data: { id }
  });
}
```

## Metadata Types

```typescript
import type { Metadata, ResolvingMetadata } from 'next';

type Props = {
  params: Promise<{ id: string }>;
  searchParams: Promise<{ [key: string]: string | string[] | undefined }>;
};

export async function generateMetadata(
  { params, searchParams }: Props,
  parent: ResolvingMetadata
): Promise<Metadata> {
  const id = (await params).id;
  
  return {
    title: `Product ${id}`,
    description: 'Product description',
  };
}
```

## Utility Types

### Async Component Props

```typescript
type AsyncComponentProps<T> = {
  promise: Promise<T>;
  children: (data: T) => React.ReactNode;
};

async function AsyncComponent<T>({ promise, children }: AsyncComponentProps<T>) {
  const data = await promise;
  return <>{children(data)}</>;
}
```

### Type Guards

```typescript
// User type guard
function isUser(obj: unknown): obj is User {
  return (
    typeof obj === 'object' &&
    obj !== null &&
    'id' in obj &&
    'email' in obj
  );
}

// Error type guard
function isError(error: unknown): error is Error {
  return error instanceof Error;
}
```

### Generic Data Fetching

```typescript
async function fetchData<T>(
  url: string,
  options?: RequestInit
): Promise<T> {
  const response = await fetch(url, options);
  
  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
  }
  
  return response.json() as Promise<T>;
}

// Usage
const products = await fetchData<Product[]>('/api/products');
```

## Form Types with Zod

```typescript
import { z } from 'zod';

// Define schema
const UserSchema = z.object({
  email: z.string().email(),
  name: z.string().min(1),
  age: z.number().optional(),
});

// Infer types from schema
type User = z.infer<typeof UserSchema>;

// Type-safe validation
function validateUser(data: unknown): User {
  return UserSchema.parse(data);
}
```

## Database Types with Prisma

```typescript
import { Prisma, User } from '@prisma/client';

// Include relations
type UserWithPosts = Prisma.UserGetPayload<{
  include: { posts: true };
}>;

// Select specific fields
type UserEmail = Prisma.UserGetPayload<{
  select: { email: true };
}>;

// Where conditions
type UserWhereInput = Prisma.UserWhereInput;
```

## Configuration Types

```typescript
// next.config.ts with type safety
import type { NextConfig } from 'next';

const config: NextConfig = {
  reactStrictMode: true,
  images: {
    domains: ['example.com'],
  },
  async rewrites() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/api/:path*',
        destination: 'https://api.example.com/:path*',
      },
    ];
  },
};

export default config;
```

## TypeScript Config

```json
// tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES2017",
    "lib": ["dom", "dom.iterable", "esnext"],
    "allowJs": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "strict": true,
    "noEmit": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "module": "esnext",
    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "isolatedModules": true,
    "jsx": "preserve",
    "incremental": true,
    "plugins": [
      {
        "name": "next"
      }
    ],
    "paths": {
      "@/*": ["./src/*"]
    }
  },
  "include": ["next-env.d.ts", "**/*.ts", "**/*.tsx", ".next/types/**/*.ts"],
  "exclude": ["node_modules"]
}
```

## Common Type Fixes

### Async Params Error

```typescript
// ❌ Error: Property does not exist
function Page({ params }) {
  const id = params.id; // Error!
}

// ✅ Fixed: Await the promise
async function Page({ params }: { params: Promise<{ id: string }> }) {
  const { id } = await params;
}
```

### Children Props

```typescript
// ✅ Correct children type
interface Props {
  children: React.ReactNode; // Not JSX.Element
}
```

### Event Handlers

```typescript
// ✅ Proper event types
const handleClick: React.MouseEventHandler<HTMLButtonElement> = (e) => {
  e.preventDefault();
};

const handleChange: React.ChangeEventHandler<HTMLInputElement> = (e) => {
  setValue(e.target.value);
};
```

## Best Practices

1. Enable strict mode in tsconfig.json
2. Use type inference where possible
3. Avoid `any` type - use `unknown` instead
4. Create shared type definitions
5. Use discriminated unions for variants
6. Leverage TypeScript 5.x features
7. Type external API responses
8. Use const assertions for literals

Always ensure type safety throughout the application for better developer experience and fewer runtime errors.
