Question: How to only have preloaded html for certain routes

[wallslide]

I have a create-react-app-based webapp with several different routes, including my homepage at / and a search page at /search . If I setup react-snap with crawl: false, and include: ["/"], then how do I prevent my homepage content from flashing on the screen when a user tries to go directly to a /search url? Thanks.

From what you described the issue is flash of index.html not crawling. I suspect there is no search/index.html on a filesystem, otherwise, this is a bug. Flash can be caused by a configuration of a web server or by a configuration of a service worker. If you configured a web server to use index.html as a fallback, you need to change it to 200.html (which is the same as index.html before prerendering). How to deal with service workers is described in README

Question: do you have a link to /search page? If no, you do not need crawl: false. If yes, why you do not want it to be prerendered?

You're right, there is no search/index.html. Basically, the pre-rendering is working properly for my homepage because I updated it to, but there are issues on my search page preventing it from working properly. That's why I'd like my homepage to show the pre-rendered react-snap content when someone visits it, but to just load as if react-snap didn't exist when going to a /search url.

As for why my search page isn't working, one big issue is that I am using https://github.com/contra/react-responsive to adjust which react components/structure to render based on the browser's width. Unfortunately that means that the pre-rendered version might not match up w/ the device that ends up viewing the content. On my hompage I switched to using pure-css based media queries so that the content is identical for both mobile and desktop devices, and I hope that I can do the same on my search url.

There also might be another issue with dynamic import statements, but I haven't dived into that yet.

There are also several other routes, like account-settings views and the like that I just don't want to pre-render.

Want to remind you there is a section in Readme about it.

I was able to use 200.html as a fallback and everything is working. Thanks!
