# "You're importing a module that depends on `useState` into a React Ser…" — nextjs 16.2
cause: App Router files are Server Components by default and render without client state or effects, so the compiler rejects imports of client-only React APIs

arms: works 16.2
risk: low
fix (patch):
~~~
+// app/counter.tsx: only the interactive part becomes a Client Component
+'use client';
+import { useState } from 'react';
+export default function Counter() {
+  const [n, setN] = useState(0);
+  return <button onClick={() => setN(n + 1)}>{n}</button>;
+}
// page.tsx stays a Server Component: import Counter and render <Counter />
~~~
repro: none
check: next build
don't:
- add 'use client' below the imports — the directive must be the first statement; Next fails with: The "use client" directive must be placed before other expressions (×1)
- put 'use client' on page.tsx or the root layout — the whole subtree becomes client code, and a page that exports metadata then fails: You are attempting to export "metadata" from a component marked with "use client" (×1)
