Summary

In this chapter, we've taken a look at two crucial topics when talking about Next.js: the project structure organization and the different ways of fetching data. Even if these two topics seem unrelated, being able to logically separate components and utilities, and fetching data in different ways, are essential skills that will allow you to better understand the next chapter, Chapter 5, Managing Local and Global States in Next.js. As we've seen in this chapter, the complexity of any application can only grow over time as we add more features, bug fixes, and suchlike. Having a well-organized folder structure and a clear data flow can help us keep track of our application's state.

We've also taken a look at how to fetch data using GraphQL. This is an exciting topic as, in the next chapter, we will see how to use Apollo Client as a state manager other than a GraphQL client.
