Frontend

has anyone come across examples of RSC component packages in the wild yet?

meaning frontend components that are bundled with node.js logic, and dont require setting up any api endpoints manually

What's the relation between api endpoint and RSC?

the lack of a need for one… for example importing a react component for Stripe checkout in a nextjs app usually involves setting up a stripe catchall endpoint to go with it. RSC components might be able to simplify that over time

Like this?

sort of, this is an RSC but the main benefit for this one is to optimize for the client (less work and less js in the bundle)

i wasnt specific in my original post but i was thinking more about RSCs that also involve interacting with third-party API from the backend

another example: adding "Upload to S3" functionality to an app right now using just npm packages would involve installing a node sdk and setting up an api endpoint, and separately finding or creating a UI component to communicate with it. RSCs can have the same thing live 100% in just a UI component lib

async server-side rendering for the component plus server actions seem like they could enable a new form for react-based sdks on npm
