Thanks a lot for the detailed issue report! We'll get this sorted out
@adamdbradley @mhartington Hi guys, any update on this?
@adamdbradley posted this some days ago in the Ionic slack:
we’re fixing ssr right now to use puppeteer, which replaces jsdom. A dependency of a dependency of jsdom is what’s causing the issues. So with this transition we’ll have faster prerendering, and what is doing the prerendering is actually chrome, rather than jsdom.
As a workaround in an 4.0.0-beta.11 app, I used @ng-toolkit/universal as is with some adjustments in the generated server.ts
file:
// see https://github.com/angular/universal/issues/830#issuecomment-345228799
import { createWindow } from 'domino';
import { readFileSync } from 'fs';
import { join } from 'path';
const template = readFileSync(
join('.', 'www', 'browser', 'index.html')
).toString();
const win = createWindow(template);
global['window'] = win;
global['document'] = win.document;
global['navigator'] = win.navigator;
Now the Ionic bootstrap works, and I can see the SSRed code.
I still have many server-side errors due to other browser types / methods notably because of external directives that have the same issues.
Edit: also https://github.com/Angular-RU/angular-universal-starter/blob/master/server.ts
Hey Guys,
Any update on this issue. What is the target date for full SSR support. We are waiting for SSR fix to go live with our couple of websites.
@adamdbradley I saw you moved the issue from In progress
to Backlog
. It would be really nice for the community and people waiting for this feature to expand a little bit what's the current state and what need to be done to finally have SSR support in Ionic 4.
I know the framework is maturing fast and now there are many open fronts (@ionic/react, @ionic/vue not just @ionic/angular anymore) and that leaves some features behind. But sincerely I believe SSR is paramount for Ionic to position itself as the PWA framework of choice.
Hey there! Just chiming in to provide an update.
As we're getting closer to RC/final, we're finalizing any major APIs that are required. SSR is still something that we intend to work on supporting, but it there are a few bigger issues that require all of our attention. @agustinhaller I'd gladly accept a PR that improves our SSR story if you make it. Happy to work with you too. Feel free to reach out and I'll lend a hand where I can. mike at ionic dot io.
@mhartington would love to contribute. I'm pretty busy right now, but as soon as I become available will definitely get on this.
Have tried adding both @nguniversal and @ng-toolkit/universal and both cases come up with this error
TypeError: t.matchMedia is not a function
among other errors.
Please let us know of any updates or progress in server side rendering ionic4
Is there any progress on this? I've tried several different hacks to get this to work - all of which result in the need for more hacks, and more, and more. This is a gaping hole in the Ionic Framework and is undoubtedly harming uptake. I've built a large app with Ionic and now realise I can't do SSR (with Angular Universal). Would really appreciate any news, or other solutions from those in a similar situation.
I think Adam is working on it, close to see something pushed: https://twitter.com/adamdbradley/status/1099418644637982722
When I implement SSR I an error below
TypeError: Cannot read property 'documentElement' of undefined
Is there any progress on this?
Is there any update?
Stencil 1.0.0
addresses this directly and will allow Ionic components to be SSR'd. We do not have a specific date yet but this is a top priority and actively being worked on.
Many thanks @adamdbradley for the update. I wonder to know if I compile an IONIC+Angular project with IONIC-cli v5. I would have the same performance than using and compiling under Stencil.
Next release of @Ionicframework will use @stenciljs one: https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic/commit/b40f7d36d5802251a0b44a7dd2599f19dbe977d5 … Smaller/faster components, and using Constructible Stylesheets 💎
Thanks for the update @UTSOURCE, I am really looking forward to this, to improve the SEO of my PWA. :) Also for things like sharing Ionic pages on social media, so it could load the images from the page.
I am running on the recent "@ionic/angular": "^4.6.0"
(stencil one) and still ngUniversal has errors due to some references to window
:
var NAMESPACE = 'ionic';
var win = window;
@salmoro You might need to wait until Ionic 4.7.0
@berchik What makes you think it'll be fixed in 4.7.0?
@salmoro various remarks by Adam Bradley on twitter and github
Hey all! We are indeed making progress with this and have been testing things out. We’ll be hopefully shipping this soon
can't wait ;)
can't wait ;)
@mhartington nice!

Really nice ! Waiting it for production ready app 😃
Me too, same issue.
Waiting for it :D
Angular 8 support was announced yesterday. Any ETA for SSR support in ionic? :)
The latest version seems to support ssr
The latest version seems to support ssr
Could you please describe what steps you took to integrate SSR into your Ionic app?

I don't think so. After installing the latest version and the command
npm run build:ssr && npm run serve:ssr
it's showing up
dist/server/main.js:143275 const win = window; ReferenceError: window is not defined

I also found this problem when I tested it, or wait for the official reply.
@UTSOURCE server-side applications can't reference browser-only global objects like window & document. You have to managed that in your code.
@berchik I created a new empty project, and then still can't, I get an error. const win = window; ReferenceError: window is not defined
@UTSOURCE then it must be coming from one of the packages of ionic/webpack, we need to wait for someone from the Ionic team to reply.
I am not sure if that's related, but for some of my project using pure angular. If there is something use window object, I need to make a fake object by using domino library in order to make ssr work.
const template = readFileSync(join(DIST_FOLDER, PROJECT_NAME, 'index.html')).toString(); const win = domino.createWindow(template);
Let's wait for an official answer.
Try for a few hours, even window is mock, it still give error of const win = window; ReferenceError: window is not defined
, did try with a blank ionic project. Seems something is loading window object with no checking on isPlatformBrowser. Anyone know how to use hydrate with IonicServerModule ?
@mhartington Is ssr available?
@mhartington same question :/
SSR still doesnt work with ionic, I get ReferenceError: window is not defined
@jaapjanfrans Yes, it can't be used, but I see that ionic has submitted code about ssr.
Really looking forward to this. Are there any news?
Just to update everyone here, we've been slowly making progress here. It's involved a lot of moving parts (on angular and Ionic) to make this possible, so I appreciate everyone being patient with this.
https://twitter.com/mhartington/status/1160941457131356164
We will have more updates (probably a blog too?) to go over SSR soon.
Hi! Any news on this? Thanks for your work!
A little can't wait
Well... I think we are making progress.

Describe the Bug Ionic 4.beta.0 with Angular Universal (Server Side Rendering) ERRORS
Steps to Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Related Code Right now my tests are tightly coupled with my project's code. I can update this issue with a clean repo if needed.
Expected Behavior @ionic/angular plays nicely with Angular Universal
Additional Context Hi I’m opening this issue to expand these recent Twitter threads (thread 1, thread 2) and discuss a bit further the improvements that the @ionic/angular module should have in order to properly support server side rendering ‘the angular way’ with Angular Universal (@nguniversal). Also expanding discussion about this same topic from issue: https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic/issues/14574
These are the issues I found:
1. The @ionic/angular project structure needs a specific module to wrap all the native related stuff. The same way Angular recommends having a module specifically for your application when running on the server, I think we need a specific module for all the
ionic-native
stuff.Maybe an
app.native.module.ts
file with theAppNativeModule
where we should include all the ionic-native stuff like registeringSplashScreen
andStatusBar
as providers.2. @ionic/angular not following Angular Universal “gotchas” When building Universal components in Angular there are a few things to keep in mind.
window
,document
,navigator
, and other browser types - do not exist on the server - so using them, or any library that uses them will not work.This is the case with the current 4.beta.0 version of
@ionic/angular
. There are plenty of references towindow
anddocument
inside @ionic/angular code. To point out a few:await
or that you are manipulating the nativeElement directly (instead of using AngularRenderer2
).From my perspective I don't see any architectural nor design impediment in @ionic/angular code that could impact in these issues. Following Angular Universal gotchas would do the trick. Please @mlynch, @mhartington, @manucorporat, @adamdbradley let me know what you think about it and if there's something I'm underestimating about these issues.
