      • Client-Side Rendering

      Client-Side Rendering (CSR) executes page rendering in the browser. When a Node.js service cannot be deployed, static index.html can be generated during the build phase to achieve pure Client-Side Rendering.

      Usage Scenarios

      The following scenarios are recommended for using Client-Side Rendering:

      • Static Hosting Environments: Hosting services that don't support SSR, such as GitHub Pages, CDNs, etc.
      • Simple Applications: Small applications with minimal requirements for first-screen loading speed and SEO.
      • Development Environment: Quickly preview and debug applications during development.

      Configuration Instructions

      HTML Template Configuration

      The template should include resource injection and entry order: preload and css in head, while importmap, moduleEntry, and modulePreload should be in body.

      src/entry.server.ts
      import type { RenderContext } from '@esmx/core';

export default async (rc: RenderContext) => {
    await rc.commit();
    rc.html = `
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    ${rc.preload()}
    <title>Esmx</title>
    ${rc.css()}
</head>
<body>
    <div id="app"></div>
    ${rc.importmap()}
    ${rc.moduleEntry()}
    ${rc.modulePreload()}
</body>
</html>
`;
};

      Static HTML Generation

      Static HTML files can be generated during the build phase through the postBuild hook:

      src/entry.node.ts
      import type { EsmxOptions } from '@esmx/core';

export default {
    async postBuild(esmx) {
        const rc = await esmx.render();
        esmx.writeSync(
            esmx.resolvePath('dist/client', 'index.html'),
            rc.html
        );
    }
} satisfies EsmxOptions;
