The Problem:
Unable to Display Loading Component in Next.js v13
The Solutions:
Solution 2:
In Next.js v13, the file structure for loading components has changed. Instead of placing the loading.tsx
file in the src
directory, you should now place it within the app
directory. Thus, the updated folder structure should be:
src/app/home/loading.tsx
src/app/home/page.tsx
Once you have relocated the files to this new structure, the loading component will be properly displayed when fetching data from the server.
