Minimal boilerplate for creating universal javascript applications.
Table of Contents
- React - powerful, interactive user interfaces
- Universal Rendering - shared code that can render on the server and in the browser
- CSS Modules - locally scoped css prevents styles from clashing
- SEO friendly - By rendering initial requests server-side, search engines have a fully hydrated html page to parse
At last, we can create seo friendly applications with javascript
Universal Rendering
- For the first request, the server handles the rendering of the application. If the current React component relies on data that it must fetch asynchronously, the server can handle this request for you. This let's us fully hydrate a React component before rendering it to the browser.
- Any sub-sequent requests to the server are handled by the browser, giving us that lovely SPA feel.
- Finally, we can construct SEO-friendly javascript applications.
