Render isomorphic React apps and components in Node.
An example implementation of the companion package @sequencemedia/react-router-redux-render can be found in react-router-pagination-io.
In Express:
const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const port = 3000
const {
renderToString
} = require('react-render')
const App = require('./path/to/react/app')
app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send(renderToString(App)))
app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Express ${port}`))If renderToString encounters an error then it throws a 500 Internal Server Error. Otherwise, it returns a string.
You can supply App with props using the second argument:
renderToString(App, {})(Since this is not a Redux app you are likely to use props.)
react-render exports three functions:
renderToStringrenderToStaticMarkuprender
renderToString generates <html /> including the attributes that React uses in ReactDOM.hydrate(). It implements ReactDOMServer.renderToString().
renderToStaticMarkup doesn't include those attributes. It's useful for using React as a rendering engine for static pages. It implements ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticMarkup().
render executes renderToString but returns a Promise which resolves to a string.
