Client-Side Revalidation in Next.js with router.refresh() vs revalidatePath
Learn how to implement client-side revalidation in Next.js using the powerful router.refresh() function from the useRouter hook. In this tutorial, we break down when and why to use router.refresh() in client components, how it differs from revalidatePath() in server actions, and the exact use case where it shines — fetching fresh server data after form submission without reloading the entire page. A must-watch for all Next.js App Router users!
