Compiling templates on server-side #223
Comments

Great to hear about server side rendering :) How would that compare to https://github.com/meteorhacks/meteor-ssr for example ? |
|
We will see. But hopefully it will be compatible. |
|
This is excellent news! I was about to start rewriting my application with react for SSR, but if this is isn't too far off I can stick with blaze. Do you have a rough idea on when this might be ready? |
|
I do not think anyone is working on this at the moment. But pieces are mostly around ready. |
|
Thanks Mitar! |
|
Thanks! We are about to work on this SSR part. Thanks for the good work! @mitar do you work for Meteor? Is this SSR official feature ? |
|
No, I do not work for Meteor. I just help keep Blaze around. Blaze is now maintained by the community. There is no concept of "official feature". If community will make it, it will be there. And again, "compiling templates on server" is not the same as SSR. SSR also requires management of how you pass correct data to templates to be compiled, and probably also management of life-cycle of templates on server, and then how you merge client side template with what server side rendered. Also #26 is needed. |

Thanks @mitar for the clarification! |

With the new package https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/master/packages/server-render/README.md that has a bunch of blaze people move to and complain in forums: |
|
Comment belongs in SSR given package description, so duplicating it there. |
|
I was one of the people complaining on the Meteor forum actually :) For now I still don't see how to use server-render with Blaze & iron-router |

Hey, I'd like to start checking this out as we'll need SSR and are on Blaze for the foreseeable future. @mitar, could you help out with finding the right places to look at to begin with? I haven't done much with the compiler before and am prepared to dive in, but the whole build plugin lifetime is a bit of a mystery still to me. Not sure which parts should be changed and how they function together and I think writing about it would help a few others as well. Are some of these completed? |
|
I'm closing this issue because it's too old. If you think this issue is still relevant please open a new one. Why? We need to pay attention to all the open items so we should keep opened only items where people are involved. |
Blaze Components support it and it is more or less easy to get templates to be compiled on the server-side.
Some things to change:
We are introducing
.blazeextension (#97). So we should decide if we want only that one on the server-side, or both.htmland.blaze.The downside is that it seems this will slow-down compilation as it prevents client-only compilation and push, but it then restarts the server-side, even if file is added to client-side only in packages (not sure about
clientdirectory). At least this happened with Blaze Components when server-side rendered was added.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
