How do I configure a route to be server side rendered?

DoneJS
1

There is documentation on how to render a simple example using Done-SSR, but I don’t understand how that translates to a DoneJS application. I want to be able to specify that all the routes should be server side rendered except for one (and it’s children).

Can someone point me to an example?

I believe you can wrap that route in an if statement

If(!window.doneSsr){
route(…)
}

3

doneSsr might be the wrong attribute name, but if it doesn’t work you can console.log the keys on window to find it, refresh the page then check the terminal window

4

There is a window.doneSsr, that’s right, you can also check if you are running in Node:

var isNode = typeof process === "object" && {}.toString.call(process) === "[object process]";

I’m confused though, at this point isn’t the application already loaded into the client? How do I prevent the app from client side loading?

The same code runs on the client and server, so if you write some code like:

If(!window.doneSsr){
route(...)
}

In Node this route will not be defined and therefore won’t be available to go to. In the client it will be available (if say you are going from page a to b).

My question is in the reverse. This would be how to exclude a section from SSR. But I want to know how to have pages Server Side rendered.

Generate an app with DoneJS and run donejs develop and all pages are automatically SSR’d.
