React SSR with Go V8 Binding

gov8react

React SSR with Go V8 binding

Usage

Usage of .bin/gov8react:
  -http_addr string
        http listen address (default "0.0.0.0:3000")
  -with_hydration
        render with hydration

Command

For those who want to try

make setup # install deps
make build-all-client # build all client artifacts
go run cmd/http/*.go -with_hydration true

Current State

1. Hydration will load large bundle
2. React is only for the UI and will not be as data fetcher (like graphql SSR or anything), data to React is always coming from go, see GO_APP.render(args) function.

Stack

1. Go (v8 binding)
2. React
3. rspack
4. @emotion/css

Limitations

These are the limitation that we found and these may comes because we lack of knowledges:

1. Node capabilities, v8 binding does not comes with node.js capabilities likes fs, buffer, etc. Working around with some polyfills.
2. @emotion/react not working, cache seems always empty, still don't know.
3. Code split will be hard things to do, because v8 context cannot refer/lookup webpack split files easily.
