Server Side JavaScript Components

[Archmonger]

Current Situation

Currently, all JavaScript components need to be client sided.

Proposed Actions

It's feasible to run JS components server sided, such as NextJS Server Components

Most likely, this will either require us to bundle a NodeJS server or a NextJS server within ReactPy as an optional dependency.

These packages could potentially help:

• react-render
• python-react
• v8-cffi
• v8eval
• dukpy
• pyduktape
• PyExecJS
• selenium executor

Ooohh! it's very good to hear that meta is pushing server side components forward. That would vastly simplify integrating it with ReactPy.

[kumaraguru1735]

First, need an auth system on Reactpy!

[Archmonger]

There isn't a strong reason to implement server-side JS components, and this would be technologically difficult to build since it would need a separate executor server process.

Unless a technologically valid reason exists to develop this, will keep this issue closed.

If this does get developed, it's likely better to as a separate package.

waste!!!
