In this insightful Next.js tutorial, viewers will learn the crucial technique of keeping server-only code out of the client environment. The tutorial delves into the common issue faced in JavaScript modules shared between server and client components, where server-specific elements, such as private API keys, may unintentionally become exposed on the client side. By focusing on a practical example of a data-fetching function, the tutorial demonstrates how seemingly universal functions can inadvertently include server-only code.
