## Quick Start Examples

### Basic Component
```typescript
interface ButtonProps {
  label: string
  onClick: () => void
}

const Button = ({ label, onClick }: ButtonProps) => {
  return <button onClick={onClick}>{label}</button>
}
```

### Using Hooks
```typescript
const Counter = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0)
  
  useEffect(() => {
    console.log(`Count is: ${count}`)
  }, [count])
  
  return (
    <button onClick={() => setCount(c => c + 1)}>
      Count: {count}
    </button>
  )
}
```

### Server Component
```typescript
const Page = async () => {
  const data = await fetchData()
  return <div>{data}</div>
}
```

### Server Function
```typescript
'use server'

export async function createUser(formData: FormData) {
  const name = formData.get('name')
  return await db.user.create({ data: { name } })
}
```
