| 59 | +## 🔧 Build Commands |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +### Development Server |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +```bash |
27 | 64 | npm run dev |
| 65 | +``` |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Starts development server with HMR at `http://localhost:5173` |
28 | 68 |
|
29 | | -# Using yarn |
30 | | -yarn dev |
| 69 | +### Single Page Application (SPA) |
31 | 70 |
|
32 | | -# Using pnpm |
33 | | -pnpm run dev |
| 71 | +```bash |
| 72 | +npm run build:spa |
34 | 73 | ``` |
35 | 74 |
|
36 | | -This will spawn an Express server that serves your application. Built-in Hot Module Replacement (HMR) support. |
| 75 | +Builds a traditional SPA. Output: `.stormkit/public/` |
37 | 76 |
|
38 | | -## How it works? |
| 77 | +### Server-Side Rendering (SSR) |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +```bash |
| 80 | +npm run build:ssr |
| 81 | +``` |
39 | 82 |
|
40 | | -In the local environment, [src/entry-server.tsx](./src/entry-server.tsx) is the entry point for the application. It uses |
41 | | -`react-router` to understand what page to render. If the route exports a `fetchData` method, the component will be server-side-rendered. |
42 | | -Otherwise, it will be client-side rendered. Data returned by `fetchData` will be made available to the component by [React Context](./src/context.ts). |
| 83 | +Builds for serverless deployment with SSR. Output: `.stormkit/server/` |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +### Static Site Generation (SSG) |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +```bash |
| 88 | +npm run build:spa # Build SPA first |
| 89 | +npm run build:ssg # Generate static pages |
| 90 | +``` |
43 | 91 |
|
44 | | -See [src/pages/ssr.tsx](./src/pages/ssr.tsx) for an example. |
| 92 | +Pre-renders specified routes at build time. Output: `.stormkit/public/` |
45 | 93 |
|
46 | | -## Static site generator |
| 94 | +### API Only |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +```bash |
| 97 | +npm run build:api |
| 98 | +``` |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +Builds only the API functions. Output: `.stormkit/api/` |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +## 🎯 Rendering Modes |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +### Single Page Application (Default) |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +All routes are client-side rendered by default: |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +```tsx |
| 109 | +// src/pages/home.tsx |
| 110 | +export default function Home() { |
| 111 | + return <h1>Welcome to Home</h1>; |
| 112 | +} |
| 113 | +``` |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +### Server-Side Rendering |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +Add a `fetchData` export to enable SSR: |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +```tsx |
| 120 | +// src/pages/ssr.tsx |
| 121 | +export async function fetchData() { |
| 122 | + const data = await fetch("https://api.example.com/data"); |
| 123 | + return data.json(); |
| 124 | +} |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +export default function SSRPage({ data }: { data: any }) { |
| 127 | + return <h1>Server-rendered: {data.title}</h1>; |
| 128 | +} |
| 129 | +``` |
47 | 130 |
|
48 | | -You can define which routes to prerender by modifying the [src/prerender.ts](./src/prerender.ts) file. During build time, the builder will be make a |
49 | | -request to each route exported by this file and will take a snapshot of the HTML document. |
| 131 | +### Static Site Generation |
50 | 132 |
|
51 | | -## Single page app |
| 133 | +Configure routes to pre-render in `src/prerender.ts`: |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +```tsx |
| 136 | +// src/prerender.ts |
| 137 | +export default [{ path: "/" }, { path: "/about" }, { path: "/blog/post-1" }]; |
| 138 | +``` |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +## 🔌 API Routes |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +Create API endpoints by adding files to `src/api/`: |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +```typescript |
| 145 | +// src/api/hello.ts |
| 146 | +export default function handler(request: Request) { |
| 147 | + return new Response(JSON.stringify({ message: "Hello, World!" }), { |
| 148 | + headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, |
| 149 | + }); |
| 150 | +} |
| 151 | +``` |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +Access at: `http://localhost:5173/api/hello` |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +### Dynamic API Routes |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +```typescript |
| 158 | +// src/api/users/[id].ts |
| 159 | +export default function handler(request: Request) { |
| 160 | + const url = new URL(request.url); |
| 161 | + const id = url.pathname.split("/").pop(); |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | + return new Response(JSON.stringify({ userId: id }), { |
| 164 | + headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, |
| 165 | + }); |
| 166 | +} |
| 167 | +``` |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +## 🚀 Deployment |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +### Stormkit |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +Import this application on Stormkit (either self-hosted or cloud) and simply click deploy. It works with zero-config. |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +### Static Hosting |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +```bash |
| 178 | +npm run build:spa |
| 179 | +npm run build:ssg # Optional: for pre-rendered pages |
| 180 | +``` |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +Deploy the `.stormkit/public` folder. |
| 183 | + |
| 184 | +## 🔧 Configuration |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +### Vite Configuration |
| 187 | + |
| 188 | +- `vite.config.ts` - Development server |
| 189 | +- `vite.config.ssr.ts` - SSR build |
| 190 | +- `vite.config.spa.ts` - SPA build |
| 191 | +- `vite.config.api.ts` - API build |
| 192 | + |
| 193 | +## 🛠️ Advanced Usage |
| 194 | + |
| 195 | +### Custom Server |
| 196 | + |
| 197 | +```typescript |
| 198 | +// server.ts |
| 199 | +import { handler } from "./.stormkit/server/server.mjs"; |
| 200 | + |
| 201 | +const server = express(); |
| 202 | +server.use(handler); |
| 203 | +server.listen(3000); |
| 204 | +``` |
52 | 205 |
|
53 | | -By default, every route is a single-page application. |

|
57 | | -The [src/api/](./src/api/) directory contains functions that act as API. The path to the file and the file name is used to determine the endpoint. |
58 | | -The API is comptabile with [Stormkit](https://www.stormkit.io). [Check the docs](https://www.stormkit.io/docs/features/writing-api) for more information. |
| 214 | +## 📚 Resources |
59 | 215 |
|
60 | | -If you need to host the API elsewhere, you'll need to change the [vite.config.api.ts](./vite.config.api.ts) file and create a bundle from it. You may |
61 | | -also need to write an entry point that calls the appropriate function based on the route. |
