Hapijs Server

Let's use the hapi-universal-redux repo to scaffold our app.
Create a hapi app using the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/luandro/hapi-universal-redux.git hapiApp
cd hapiApp
npm install

Run using the following:
Start the hapi app in development environment:

NODE_ENV=development npm run build
NODE_ENV=development npm start

Start the hapi app in production environment:

NODE_ENV=production npm run build
NODE_ENV=production npm start

Electrode React SSR Caching

electrode-react-ssr-caching module supports profiling React Server Side Rendering time and component caching to help you speed up SSR.

It supports 2 types of caching:

Simple - Component Props become the cache key. This is useful for cases like Header and Footer where the number of variations of props data is minimal which will make sure the cache size stays small.
Template - Components Props are first tokenized and then the generated template html is cached. The idea is akin to generating logic-less handlebars template from your React components and then use string replace to process the template with different props. This is useful for cases like displaying Product information in a Carousel where you have millions of products in the repository.

Install

$ npm install --save electrode-react-ssr-caching

Wiring

GOTCHA:

SSR caching of components only works in PRODUCTION mode, since the props(which are read only) are mutated for caching purposes and mutating of props is not allowed in development mode by react.
Make sure the electrode-react-ssr-caching module is imported first followed by the imports of react and react-dom module. SSR caching will not work if the ordering is changed since caching module has to have a chance to patch react's code first. Also if you are importing electrode-react-ssr-caching, react and react-dom in the same file , make sure you are using all require or all import. Found that SSR caching was NOT working if, electrode-react-ssr-caching is required first and then react and react-dom is imported.

To demonstrate functionality, we have added:

src/components/SSRCachingSimpleType.js for Simple strategy.
src/components/SSRCachingTemplateType.jsx for Template strategy.
To enable caching using electrode-react-ssr-caching, we need to do the below configuration in src/server.js.


const cacheConfig = {
  components: {
    SSRCachingTemplateType: {
      strategy: "template",
      enable: true
    },
    SSRCachingSimpleType: {
      strategy: "simple",
      enable: true
    }
  }
};

SSRCaching.enableCaching();
SSRCaching.setCachingConfig(cacheConfig);

Electrode Redux Router Engine

Redux Router Engine handles async data for React Server Side Rendering using [react-router], Redux, and the [Redux Server Rendering] pattern.

Install

npm install --save electrode-redux-router-engine

Usage

Setting up the redux store and redux router engine in src/server.js:

import { createStore } from "redux";
import ReduxRouterEngine from 'electrode-redux-router-engine';

function createReduxStore(request) {
  let initialState = {count : 100};
  let rootReducer = (s, a) => s;

  return Promise.all([
      Promise.resolve({})
    ]).then(() => {
      return store;
  });
}

const engine = new ReduxRouterEngine({ routes, createReduxStore});

engine.render gives a Promise whose eventual value contains the rendered HTML for the matched component. It is done in src/server.js.

engine.render(req)
    .then( (result) => {
      // send full HTML with result back using res
    });

Above The Fold Only Server Render

Above-the-fold-only-server-render is a React component for optionally skipping server side rendering of components outside above-the-fold (or inside of the viewport). This component helps render your components on the server that are above the fold and the remaining components on the client.

Above-the-fold-only-server-render helps increase performance both by decreasing the load on renderToString and sending the end user a smaller amount of markup.

By default, the above-the-fold-only-server-render component is an exercise in simplicity; it does nothing and only returns the child component.

Install

Add the above-the-fold-only-server-render component:

npm install above-the-fold-only-server-render --save

You can tell the component to skip server side rendering either by passing a prop skip={true} or by setting up skipServerRender in your app context and passing the component a contextKey prop.

Let's explore passing skip prop; there is an example in <your-hapi-app>/components/above-fold-simple.jsx. On the Home page, click the link to render the localhost:3000/above-the-fold page.

The best way to demo this existing component is actually going to be in your node_modules.

Navigate to <your-hapi-app>/node_modules/above-the-fold-only-server-render/lib/components/above-the-fold-only-server-render.js line 29:

  var SHOW_TIMEOUT = 50;

When we use this module at WalmartLabs, it's all about optimization. You are going to change line 29 to slow down the SHOW_TIMEOUT so you can see the component wrapper in action: Change this to:

  var SHOW_TIMEOUT = 3000;

Run the commands below and test it out in your app:

  gulp hot

The code in the <h3> tags that are above and below the <AboveTheFoldOnlyServerRender skip={true}> </AboveTheFoldOnlyServerRender> will render first:

  import React from "react";
  import {AboveTheFoldOnlyServerRender} from "above-the-fold-only-server-render";

  export class AboveFold extends React.Component {

    render() {
      return (
        <div>
          <h3>Above-the-fold-only-server-render: Increase Your Performance</h3>
          <AboveTheFoldOnlyServerRender skip={true}>
              <div className="renderMessage" style={{color: "blue"}}>
                <p>This will skip server rendering if the 'AboveTheFoldOnlyServerRender'
                  lines are present, or uncommented out.</p>
                <p>This will be rendered on the server and visible if the 'AboveTheFoldOnlyServerRender'
                  lines are commented out.</p>
                <p>Try manually toggling this component to see it in action</p>
                <p>
                  <a href="https://github.com/electrode-io/above-the-fold-only-server-render"
                    target="_blank">Read more about this module and see our live demo
                  </a>
                </p>
              </div>
          </AboveTheFoldOnlyServerRender>
          <h3>This is below the 'Above the fold closing tag'</h3>
        </div>
      );
    }
  }

You can also skip server side rendering by setting context in your app and passing a contextKey prop. Here is an example:


  const YourComponent = () => {
      return (
        <AboveTheFoldOnlyServerRender contextKey="aboveTheFoldOnlyServerRender.SomeComponent">
          <div>This will not be server side rendered based on the context.</div>
        </AboveTheFoldOnlyServerRender>
      );
  };

  class YourApp extends React.Component {
    getChildContext() {
      return {
        aboveTheFoldOnlyServerRender: {
          YourComponent: true
        }
      };
    }

    render() {
      return (
        <YourComponent />
      );
    }
  }

  YourApp.childContextTypes = {
    aboveTheFoldOnlyServerRender: React.PropTypes.shape({
      AnotherComponent: React.PropTypes.bool
    })
  };
