## Summary

[Reference Documentation ↗](https://api.reactrouter.com/v7/functions/react-router.unstable_routeRSCServerRequest.html)

Routes the incoming [`Request`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Request)
to the [RSC](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/server-components) server and
appropriately proxies the server response for data / resource requests, or
renders to HTML for a document request.

```tsx
import { createFromReadableStream } from "@vitejs/plugin-rsc/ssr";
import * as ReactDomServer from "react-dom/server.edge";
import {
  unstable_RSCStaticRouter as RSCStaticRouter,
  unstable_routeRSCServerRequest as routeRSCServerRequest,
} from "react-router";

routeRSCServerRequest({
  request,
  serverResponse,
  createFromReadableStream,
  async renderHTML(getPayload) {
    const payload = getPayload();

    return await renderHTMLToReadableStream(
      <RSCStaticRouter getPayload={getPayload} />,
      {
        bootstrapScriptContent,
        formState: await payload.formState,
      }
    );
  },
});
```

## Signature

```tsx
async function routeRSCServerRequest({
  request,
  serverResponse,
  createFromReadableStream,
  renderHTML,
  hydrate = true,
}: {
  request: Request;
  serverResponse: Response;
  createFromReadableStream: SSRCreateFromReadableStreamFunction;
  renderHTML: (
    getPayload: () => DecodedPayload,
    options: {
      onError(error: unknown): string | undefined;
      onHeaders(headers: Headers): void;
    },
  ) => ReadableStream<Uint8Array> | Promise<ReadableStream<Uint8Array>>;
  hydrate?: boolean;
}): Promise<Response>
```

## Params

### opts.createFromReadableStream

Your `react-server-dom-xyz/client`'s `createFromReadableStream` function, used to decode payloads from the server.

### opts.serverResponse

A Response or partial response generated by the [RSC](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/server-components) handler containing a serialized [`unstable_RSCPayload`](https://api.reactrouter.com/v7/types/react-router.unstable_RSCPayload.html).

### opts.hydrate

Whether to hydrate the server response with the RSC payload. Defaults to `true`.

### opts.renderHTML

A function that renders the [`unstable_RSCPayload`](https://api.reactrouter.com/v7/types/react-router.unstable_RSCPayload.html) to HTML, usually using a [`<RSCStaticRouter>`](../rsc/RSCStaticRouter).

### opts.request

The request to route.

## Returns

A [`Response`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Response)
that either contains the [RSC](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/server-components)
payload for data requests, or renders the HTML for document requests.
