Server-Side React

Version 1.0

This project is a part of an attempt to learn building server-side rendered applications.

I wanted to learn this to build small-scale applications for personal use, since my daily routine mainly contains large-scale applications.

Note! Server-side rendering (with React) is slow and not intended for large-scale applications.

Run

1. Install dependencies: npm i
2. Run: npm run dev

Architecture

The architecture contains two separate applications working together. One for server-side and one for the client. Both are using JSX and therefore needs babel transpile before being readable by node. Hence both builds rely on Webpack.

Data Source (not this repo)

• Serves data per request from Renderer Server.

Renderer Server (this repo)

• Produces HTML from data fetched from the Data Source.

Client (this repo)
