Basic SSR Website (Server-side rendered)

Using this template

1. Install degit

  npm i -g degit

2. Copy project template

(This will copy the files to your current folder)

  degit MarshallCB/howww/basic-ssr

3. Install necessary dependencies from `package.json`

Tip: npm i is short for npm install

  npm i

4. Run locally

  npm run dev

How it works

routo will build all files from /source into /public (except for files that start with a . or _, these are intentionally ignored). Files with two extensions (e.g. index.html.js, global.css.js) will drop the .js during the build process (--> index.html, global.css). This allows you to write complex logic to build static files that can be interpretted by the browser!

serve will create a development web server to display the files in /public to your web browser at localhost:5000. Every time you edit a file in /source, just hit refresh on the browser to see your new changes.

µcontent is the HTML and CSS renderer. It does some nifty stuff to transform everything inside the backticks ( ` ) into proper, optimized HTML/CSS. In JavaScript, these are called template literals, and their power comes from their ability to interpolate variable values within ${}. Check out this example:

  let x = "coffee"
  let y = `My favorite thing is ${x}`
  console.log(y) // --> "My favorite thing is coffee"

Next Steps

Edit the package.json to describe your project
Create your own pages by writing HTML (use /source/index.html.js as a starting point)
Create custom CSS styles in /source/styles/global.css.js
Generate a custom favicon. Replace the files in /source/favicon and the favicon code in /source/_document.js
Deploy to a hosting service like Vercel or Netlify for free!
