import { createStreamableUI } from "ai/rsc"

ReactNode
The initial value of the streamable UI.

Response Object

value:

ReactNode
The value of the streamable UI. This can be returned from a Server Action and received by the client.

Methods

update:

(ReactNode) => void
Updates the current UI node. It takes a new UI node and replaces the old one.

append:

(ReactNode) => void
Appends a new UI node to the end of the old one. Once appended a new UI node, the previous UI node cannot be updated anymore.
