Hypernova with Rails API #85

Closed arefaslani closed 7 years ago

arefaslani commented 7 years ago

Having a Rails API as backend, can I use Hypernova to render json data retrieved from the API and use that data for server side rendering? Is there any example showing how to use Rails API with Hypernova?

When you say "Rails API", do you also mean Rails is your webserver?

arefaslani commented 7 years ago

@ljharb I use Nginx + Unicorn combination

There's a simple Rails example which can be found here. Is that what you're looking for?

@goatslacker No. I have a Rails JSON API (api.chanka.ir) as back-end and a React application for front-end. Is it possible to use Hypernova for server-side rendering in this type of applications?

You'd need an actual web server - the thing serving your frontend - to hook into hypernova. The API should be mostly irrelevant.
