This project is using Qwik with QwikCity. QwikCity is just an extra set of tools on top of Qwik to make it easier to build a full site, including directory-based routing, layouts, and more.
Inside your project, you'll see the following directory structure:
├── public/
│ └── ...
└── src/
├── components/
│ └── ...
└── routes/
└── ...
-
src/routes
: Provides the directory-based routing, which can include a hierarchy oflayout.tsx
layout files, and anindex.tsx
file as the page. Additionally,index.ts
files are endpoints. Please see the routing docs for more info. -
src/components
: Recommended directory for components. -
public
: Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public directory. Please see the Vite public directory for more info.
Use the bun qwik add
command to add additional integrations. Some examples of integrations includes: Cloudflare, Netlify or Express Server, and the Static Site Generator (SSG).
bun qwik add # or `bun qwik add`
Development mode uses Vite's development server. The dev
command will server-side render (SSR) the output during development.
npm start # or `bun start`
Note: during dev mode, Vite may request a significant number of
.js
files. This does not represent a Qwik production build.
The preview command will create a production build of the client modules, a production build of src/entry.preview.tsx
, and run a local server. The preview server is only for convenience to preview a production build locally and should not be used as a production server.
bun preview # or `bun preview`
The production build will generate client and server modules by running both client and server build commands. The build command will use Typescript to run a type check on the source code.
bun build # or `bun build`
Cloudflare's wrangler CLI can be used to preview a production build locally. To start a local server, run:
bun serve
Then visit http://localhost:8787/
Cloudflare Pages are deployable through their Git provider integrations.
If you don't already have an account, then create a Cloudflare account here. Next go to your dashboard and follow the Cloudflare Pages deployment guide.
Within the projects "Settings" for "Build and deployments", the "Build command" should be bun build
, and the "Build output directory" should be set to dist
.
Cloudflare Page's function-invocation-routes config can be used to include, or exclude, certain paths to be used by the worker functions. Having a _routes.json
file gives developers more granular control over when your Function is invoked.
This is useful to determine if a page response should be Server-Side Rendered (SSR) or if the response should use a static-site generated (SSG) index.html
file.
By default, the Cloudflare pages adaptor does not include a public/_routes.json
config, but rather it is auto-generated from the build by the Cloudflare adaptor. An example of an auto-generate dist/_routes.json
would be:
{
"include": [
"/*"
],
"exclude": [
"/_headers",
"/_redirects",
"/build/*",
"/favicon.ico",
"/manifest.json",
"/service-worker.js",
"/about"
],
"version": 1
}
In the above example, it's saying all pages should be SSR'd. However, the root static files such as /favicon.ico
and any static assets in /build/*
should be excluded from the Functions, and instead treated as a static file.
In most cases the generated dist/_routes.json
file is ideal. However, if you need more granular control over each path, you can instead provide you're own public/_routes.json
file. When the project provides its own public/_routes.json
file, then the Cloudflare adaptor will not auto-generate the routes config and instead use the committed one within the public
directory.
This starter site is configured to deploy to Vercel Edge Functions, which means it will be rendered at an edge location near to your users.
The adaptor will add a new vite.config.ts
within the adapters/
directory, and a new entry file will be created, such as:
└── adapters/
└── vercel-edge/
└── vite.config.ts
└── src/
└── entry.vercel-edge.tsx
Additionally, within the package.json
, the build.server
script will be updated with the Vercel Edge build.
To build the application for production, use the build
command, this command will automatically run bun build.server
and bun build.client
:
bun build
To deploy the application for development:
bun deploy
Notice that you might need a Vercel account in order to complete this step!
The project is ready to be deployed to Vercel. However, you will need to create a git repository and push the code to it.
You can deploy your site to Vercel either via a Git provider integration or through the Vercel CLI.
