Async Patterns

In Next.js 15+, params, searchParams, cookies(), and headers() are asynchronous.

Async Params and SearchParams

Always type them as Promise<...> and await them.

Pages and Layouts

type Props = { params: Promise<{ slug: string }> };

export default async function Page({ params }: Props) {
  const { slug } = await params;
}

Route Handlers

export async function GET(request: Request, { params }: { params: Promise<{ id: string }> }) {
  const { id } = await params;
}

SearchParams

type Props = {
  params: Promise<{ slug: string }>;
  searchParams: Promise<{ query?: string }>;
};

export default async function Page({ params, searchParams }: Props) {
  const { slug } = await params;
  const { query } = await searchParams;
}

Synchronous Components

Use React.use() for non-async components:

import { use } from 'react';

type Props = { params: Promise<{ slug: string }> };

export default function Page({ params }: Props) {
  const { slug } = use(params);
}

generateMetadata

type Props = { params: Promise<{ slug: string }> };

export async function generateMetadata({ params }: Props): Promise<Metadata> {
  const { slug } = await params;
  return { title: slug };
}

Async Cookies and Headers

import { cookies, headers } from 'next/headers';

export default async function Page() {
  const cookieStore = await cookies();
  const headersList = await headers();

  const theme = cookieStore.get('theme');
  const userAgent = headersList.get('user-agent');
}
