Pre rendering of vue-templates

[Borange]

Hi,

Great example of working with Content Delivery API and a frontend framework. Played around with it a little bit. I was thinking are there any plans of making the vue files prerendered or adding SSR (server side rendering, for instance NUXT.js) for the frontend part? Or is the Razor-views still to go. I was thinking of when I curl the adress there are not so much content, you need javascript enabled to view the output.

Very best,
Per

Hi,

That would be a good idea. There are so many ways to do that, and as long it's something a controller can return then it should be fine with the current setup. I'm not sure how to pick the "right" SSR approach as a sample "for everyone using Episerver". Perhaps you can help? We do allow contributions to our repository (by signing a CLA, handled by a Github bot when creating a PR), so we'd love some contribution from our partner developers.

Best regards,

We have two SPA-implementations based on Music Festival up and running (one using Vue and one ported to ReactJS) and SSR is one of the things we haven't found a good approach for - the reason being that the Episerver DXC SLA does not cover Node.js, which most frameworks and plugins for SSR depend on (including NUXT.js).

@jtonvang We will have to look into the SLA. I'll bring it up internally.

About the react port you did, would you mind contributing it back? I created an issue for it: #9 .

@seriema Great, I think support for NodeJS will probably be expected by many going forward. If you need reference, our support ticket where we were told it's not supported is: #301149

As for contributing our ReactJS port, this is something we would love to do. I'm going on paternity leave after this week, and this will obviously take a bit of time, but I'll see if I can spare a few evenings in between for this :)
