# Suspense Boundaries

Client hooks that cause CSR bailout without Suspense boundaries.

## useSearchParams

Always requires Suspense boundary in static routes. Without it, the entire page becomes client-side rendered.

```tsx
// Bad: Entire page becomes CSR
'use client'

import { useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'

export default function SearchBar() {
  const searchParams = useSearchParams()
  return <div>Query: {searchParams.get('q')}</div>
}
```

```tsx
// Good: Wrap in Suspense
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import SearchBar from './search-bar'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
      <SearchBar />
    </Suspense>
  )
}
```

## usePathname

Requires Suspense boundary when route has dynamic parameters.

```tsx
// In dynamic route [slug]
// Bad: No Suspense
'use client'
import { usePathname } from 'next/navigation'

export function Breadcrumb() {
  const pathname = usePathname()
  return <nav>{pathname}</nav>
}
```

```tsx
// Good: Wrap in Suspense
<Suspense fallback={<BreadcrumbSkeleton />}>
  <Breadcrumb />
</Suspense>
```

If you use `generateStaticParams`, Suspense is optional.
