A Server-side Rendered Preact app.

SSR Preact App

This is an example of a Preact app being rendered on the server side. It uses Unistore to manage state, preact-router to manage routes and Webpack to bundle JS files.

You can start the app with the command: npm run dev

preact-ssr's Issues

Is it necessary to publish the `dist` and `.cache` folders?

If the repository is not connected to Github Pages or something like that you can avoid these repositories and make the project cleaner 😄.
You can also use a common template from GitIgnore.io 👍.

preact-router doesn't properly render on server

Hey, I just wanted to clue you in on the fact that preact-router doesn't really work when server rendering. I've been looking around for how to do it, and it doesn't seem like it's supported. You'll notice when you open your app at the "/about" route, that the server renders the "/" route, and then javascript on the client goes ahead and changes it. So the about page is never rendered on the server, which kind of defeats the purpose of ssr.

I made the same mistake since it's hard to notice that anything is out of order.

I think the best way to do ssr with preact is to just stick with good old react-router.
