Can any react-aria components be rendered server-side?

[developerdizzle]

Forgive me if this question has already been asked; I searched but didn't find a definitive answer.

It's my understanding that SSR components cannot use createContext https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/context-in-server-component

But looking at https://github.com/adobe/react-spectrum/tree/main/packages/react-aria-components/src, context is used in basically every component.

For example, I might expect a component like Header, with no events or state, to be SSR-able.

On the other hand, this SSR documentation exists, which implies there is some degree of SSR functionality.

Can any of React Aria's components be rendered server-side?

"React Server Components" and "Server Side Rendering" are two different things. All components are server side rendered by react. React Server Components only run on the server. Other components run both on the server and the client. None of our components are React Server Components - they always run on the client - but all components can be server side rendered to HTML.

Thanks for that clarification @devongovett !

To be crystal clear, none of React Aria's components can be rendered server-side through Next.js, right?

They are all rendered server side.
