Dinastico Hybrid Site Generator

Build dynamic/static hybrid, fast and cool React based apps

current: pre-alpha

todo: check TODO.MD for the Road to Alpha

How does it work?

Dinastico reads all the .js files in the ./src/pages directory and builds a static site from them, if you want you can also export a @reach/router component from and Dinastico will build an .html file for each Router or React component and since it supports code-splitting for .js and .css (incluidng .sass and .scss) the first print is really fast.

How will my app look like?

// .src/pages/movies.js
import React from 'react'
import { Router } from '@reach/router'
import Link from 'dinastico-link'

import MovieIndex from '../components/MovieIndex'
import MovieCard from '../components/MovieCard'

export default function MoviesRouter() {
  return (
    <Router>
      <MovieIndex path='/' />
      <MovieCard path=':movieName' />
      <Link to='/privacy'>
        {/*
          Just to randomly show you that dinastico-link exists
          More info on dinastico-link bellow
        */}
        Check out our privacy policy
      </Link>
    </Router>
  )
}

file in ./src/pages	outputs in ./public
index.js	index.html
movies.js // MovieIndex	movies/index.html // It's static
movies.js // MovieCard	movies/movieName/index.html // It's dynamic

How do I access an hybrid site?

To make sure this works, you need to setup a router in your server, but not be afraid, I've done succesful tests with .htaccess (and dinastico comes with an automatic .htaccess router builder) in shared hosting and it's really fast (as you'd expect any static generatedd site to be). The trick is in redirecting all the dynamic looking requests to the static server location:

Examples

requested url	served fiile and directory
/movies/episode-iv/	/movies/movieName/index.html
/movies/pulp-fiction/	the same as above
/movies/the-ring/	the same as above

Features

• Code spliting (also valid for .css)
• Fast HMR with newest react-hot-loader (getting ready for hooks!!!)
• Chunk prefetching thanks to dinastico-link
• Service worker

dinastico-link

As any other React based site generator, dinastico comes with it's own Link to move across dinastico's pages. it allows us to make a chunk prefetching which starts when the user hovers or clicks over it.
