Building SSR with Vite: A Custom getStaticProps Replacement
SMRTR summary
A custom server-side rendering (SSR) solution using Vite offers an alternative to Next.js with full control over server logic and data loading. It replaces Next.js's getStaticProps with a custom loadDataForUrl function for direct database access and API requests. The architecture includes an Express server, server and client entry points, and a data loading function, providing fast development, efficient production builds, and React 18's streaming SSR benefits. This approach delivers high performance while maintaining flexibility for complex applications.
