Building a Full-Stack Data Grid App with Next.js, Prisma, and AG Grid

TL;DR Build a complete CRUD data grid app using Next.js (Server Components + Server Actions), Prisma ORM (type-safe DB access), and AG Grid (inline editing, sorting, virtual scroll). Server Components fetch data on the server; Server Actions let clients call server-side functions like regular async functions — no REST API needed. Prisma provides auto-generated TypeScript types from your schema, making DB queries fully type-safe. AG Grid's applyTransaction API enables optimistic updates — the UI updates instantly, and rolls back on failure. Key Concepts Next.js: Server Components & Server Actions Server Components run on the server and can call business logic directly: // app/page.tsx — Server Component export default async function Home () { const orders = await getOrders (); // Direct DB call return < OrderGrid orders = { orders } />; } Server Actions let client components call server functions with a simple 'use server' directive: ' use server ' ; export async function createOrderAct
