React SSR Starter
Very barebones starter kit for server rendering React applications, probably could be easily used for any other JavaScript framework that can render to string.
Includes Webpack hot reloading for server and client apps.
Client
- React
- React Helmet Async
Server
Uses the wonderful nature of Koa's async function middleware to encapsulate the series of steps required to render your application on the server.
Notes
Prefetching
If you want route based prefetching, After.js seems like a good option.
GraphQL should be fetched on server by something like ApolloClient.
TODO
- External asset webpack plugins
- Figure out and implement client only code splitting for when you need super fast TTI, and don't care about overly complex auxiliary interfaces being rendered on the server and included in the initially loaded bundle.
- Possibly use streaming response on server
- Testing setup
- Production settings
