Server-side rendering loadable components in your gatsby application.
npm install --save gatsby-plugin-loadable-components-ssr
This plugin also requires @loadable/component
as a peer dependency:
npm install --save @loadable/component
As described in the documentation a series of steps must be followed to implement server-side rendering in your app. However, it's not trivial to apply them to a gatsby application.
This plugin implements the steps described in the link above using gatsby's APIs, so you can use it only by adding
gatsby-plugin-loadable-components-ssr
in your list of gatsby plugins.
Simply add gatsby-plugin-loadable-components-ssr
to the plugins array in gatsby-config.js
.
// gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
plugins: [
'gatsby-plugin-loadable-components-ssr',
// OR
{
resolve: `gatsby-plugin-loadable-components-ssr`,
options: {
// Whether replaceHydrateFunction should call ReactDOM.hydrate or ReactDOM.render
// Defaults to ReactDOM.render on develop and ReactDOM.hydrate on build
useHydrate: true,
},
}
],
}
This plugin uses replaceHydrateFunction
API. If your application also implements this API (gatsby-browser.js
)
make sure you wrap your implementation with loadableReady(() => ...)
.
Before (from the example in here):
// gatsby-browser.js
exports.replaceHydrateFunction = () => {
return (element, container, callback) => {
ReactDOM.render(element, container, callback);
};
};
After:
// gatsby-browser.js
const loadableReady = require('@loadable/component').loadableReady;
exports.replaceHydrateFunction = () => {
return (element, container, callback) => {
loadableReady(() => {
ReactDOM.render(element, container, callback);
});
};
};
