hattip VS rakkasjs

Let's start up a new project and install these. We will use pnpm, as it is now the best and most loved choice. Also for quick setup, we will use Vite for the client side and HatTip for our backend handler for more convenient readable stream handling.

HatTip - supports universal middleware and deployments, small & lightweight, seems promising

You'll probably like Hattip

To (optionally?) provide plugins on how a server should handle these files in a server framework like hattip

As we discussed before, Rakkas relies on HatTip for handling HTTP so we will use the @hattip/cookie package to manage cookies:

Then we should install the HatTip adapter for Cloudflare Workers. HatTip is a set of JavaScript libraries for building HTTP server applications that run on many platforms like Node.js, Cloudflare Workers, Vercel, Netlify, Deno, and more. Rakkas relies on it for serverless support.

Rakkas 0.6 is now built on HatTip, an HTTP server library that abstracts away the differences between various JavaScript runtimes building on the web standards like Request, Response, and streams. Rakkas already ran on Node, Vercel Serverless Functions, Netlify Functions, and Cloudflare Workers. HatTip integration adds support for Vercel Edge, and Netlify Edge. There's also preliminary support for Deno (including Deno Deploy). Bun support is work in progress.

HatTip[1] just added preliminary Bun support[2].

(HatTip's goal is to enable users (and library authors) to write universal server code that runs anywhere: Node.js, Edge, Deno, Bun, ...)

@Jarred: Curious to know what you think of HatTip!

This article is a walk-through of creating a Twitter clone with Rakkas, a bleeding-edge React framework powered by Vite. Our Twitter clone, which we'll call ublog, is going to:

Rakkas uses experimental and/or beta features of React and Vite. As such, expect breaking changes until we hit 1.0. But go ahead and give it a try and share your thoughts. Star us on Github, join our Discord server, and follow me on Twitter for updates.

💃 Rakkas, the bleeding edge React framework powered by Vite, has just released version 0.6.0. First release since December, this is the largest and least backward compatible update so far. But we believe the quantity and the quality of the new features justify the number of breaking changes. See if you agree.

I wanted to share a rough demo of an upcoming Rakkas feature that I'm really excited about: Behold useServerSideQuery :)

Today, Nextjs is not only cool guy in the town, A lot of meta frameworks exist like Astro, Remix. There are a few ssr frameworks also build over Vite - such as - https://vitedge.js.org/, https://rakkasjs.org/, https://github.com/frandiox/vite-ssr,

I, for one, enjoy doing this (I even built my own framework from scratch. But most people don't want to make a shovel first so they can dig. They just want to dig. If you have a hand made shovel that works for you, good for you. Most people don't have one and don't want to spend time and energy on building one. That's reasonable.

Cool. Svelte Kit can prerender API routes which solves the same problem. Shameless self-promo follows: I copied it for Rakkas, a Vite-powered React framework similar to Next.js. You may want to check it out.

We all know Next.js is awesome. But Rakkas does put a few unique features on the table. It's still young and not yet ready for production use but go ahead and give it a try and share your thoughts. Star us on Github and talk about Rakkas if you like what you see. If you have any questions, problems, or suggestions open a Github issue. If you want to contribute, fork and send a pull request. Check out the open issues to see how you can help. All feedback is welcome, positive or negative.

Thanks, cool feature I didn't know about. Opened an issue: https://github.com/rakkasjs/rakkasjs/issues/27
