A simple template for a website with SSR (with streams) and React 18 with a brand new API — https://github.com/reactwg/react-18/discussions 🔥🔥🔥

🚀 Just start with

npm i && make dev

First off, I'm using make) It's not necessary, but as I think it is much powerful than npm from the box.

So, let's talk about base commands.

• make dev — starts a dev-server with a file-watcher + tsc in a watch mode.
• make prod — builds a production version of your application.
• make start-prod — starts built application. Quite useful after make prod.
• make test — starts eslint, prettier, tsc and unit-tests

• typescript as the main language.
• Express.js as a server. I think about fastify as a replacement for Express.js.
• React as a view layer. Render to a stream is used for SSR.
• React-query as a layer for working with an external data.
• Own version of CSS-in-JS. Inspired by aphrodite. You can find an implementation here. I need my own implementation, cause there is no any other ready solutions in CSS-in-JS, which will work with new React SSR API.
• My own router, which was created to work with redux. Find more info here. Checkout tests, you will find all cases there. Redux is used under the hood. If you'd like to use redux for your own state — you can wrap your application with a Provider. Redux in the router uses its own context.
• webpack + esbuild to build the project.
• pino as fast and light logger.
• mocha + chai + sinon + React testing library to work with tests.
• eslint to find mistakes in the code.
• prettier to forget about code style.

I've tried to add as many comments in the source code as I could. So, all interesting places have dozens of comments to describe, what's happening there. I do apologize for my english)

As you can see, there is no any state manager for your own data. Redux is used in the router only, react-query is used for any data-fetching. So, you can use anything for any additional data-managment.

If you want to figure out, how it works, just start from:

• https://github.com/artem-malko/react-ssr-template/blob/main/src/application/entry/server/index.tsx for a server-side part of the application.
• https://github.com/artem-malko/react-ssr-template/blob/main/src/application/entry/client/index.tsx for a client-side part of the application.

But I recommend you to start from https://github.com/reactwg/react-18/discussions cause, there a lot of useful information, which can help you to work with current repo.

Fell free to ask me anything in the issues.
