loadable-components VS Next.js

Lost of people would use the typical React method with the await import('') method, but I recommend you use a module called loadable-components.

And the best thing. It is really easy to use. Almost plug-and-play. So, give it a try! https://github.com/gregberge/loadable-components

I would like to display small loader in the component while the .svg document is loading. How can i do that? I tried to use Loadable Components - React code splitting and set fallback to the .svg component, but it doesn't work. I would like the loader to display until the entire .svg file has rendered in the DOM. What should I use to achieve this effect? In pure JavaScript, you can set the listener until the svg is rendered in the DOM.

The library @loadable/component allows you to dynamically import components to your project, so they don't get rendered on the server. The following component uses leaflet, a library similar to google maps that only supports client-side rendering:

{ "hosting": { "public": "public", "ignore": [ "firebase.json", "**/.*", "**/node_modules/**" ], "rewrites": [ { "source": "**", "function": "supercharged" } ] }} These all are the changes I made from the the loadable-components server side rendering async node example

It's very important that you are choosing an active project instead of a dead/unmaintained project. An active project improves over time through community feedback. An unmaintained project does not move forward, fix functional bugs or patch security issues. Sometimes, a very popular package can be abandoned and go into a "frozen" state with many open issues and pull requests. It might have been a great solution in the past, but this is a sign that we have to move on. An example is react-loadable. It was a great solution for a very long time for code-splitting in React. I totally loved it. But it's stale now with many issues and PRs since 2018 (this post is written at the end of 2021). Now, if I need to split code in React, I use loadable-components, which is in active development, becoming more popular, patches bugs reported by the community, and most importantly, solves my problems. My personal advice: choose a package that's active in the last 3-6 months, with issues that are being resolved and PRs that are being merged.

Now client side rendering is very powerful and as I said in the first comment I'm two years in production of an app that's using things like lazy loading and client side routing and more to give the app a more regular application feel, but by using next.js to generate a static site my users would have benefited by not having to generate all the javascript their using on their own pcs.

When we have lot of pages in out application, we will end up having lot of code. We don't want our user to download all the code when they just load the home page. In order to package code of different routes to separate chunks, along with react router we can make use of loadable components, which takes advantage of dynamic imports.

// Components.js export const Component = /* ... */; export const UnusedComponent = /* ... */; // Component.js export { Component as default } from "./Components.js"; As both React.lazy and Suspense are not available for rendering on the server yet now, it is recommended to use https://github.com/gregberge/loadable-components for code-splitting in a server-rendered app (SSR). React.lazy is helpful for rendering dynamic import as a regular component in client-rendered app (CSR). Magic Comment at import() import( /* webpackChunkName: "test", webpackPrefetch: true */ "LoginModal" ) // or import( /* webpackChunkName: "test" */ /* webpackPrefetch: true */ "LoginModal" ) // spacing optional "webpackChunkName" : Using this magic comment we can set name for the js chunk that is loaded on demand.

In order to load the CatImage component to a separate bundle, we can make use of loadable components. Let's add @loadable-component to our package:

Next.js has long cemented itself as one of the front runners in the web framework world for JavaScript/TypeScript projects so we’re going to be using that. More specifically we’re going to be using V14 of Next.js which allows us to use some exciting new features like Server Actions and the App Router.

Web frameworks like Next.js will usually include this feature, but do check that they set the caching headers correctly!

Vite and Next.js are both top 5 modern development framework right now. They are both great depending on your use case so we’ll discuss 4 areas: Architecture, main features, developer experience and production readiness. After learning about these we’ll have a better idea of which one is best for your project.

> It’s important to be aware of what you are getting if you go with React, and what you are getting is a far cry from what a framework would offer, with all the corresponding pros and cons.

Would you like to elaborate on that?

In my experience, with something as great, size/ecosystem-wise as React, there will almost always be at least one "mainstream" package for whatever you might want to do with it, that integrates pretty well. Where a lot of things might come out of the box with a framework, with a library I often find myself just needing to install the "right" package, and from there it's pretty much the same.

For example, using https://angular.io/guide/i18n-overview or installing and using https://react.i18next.com/

Or something like https://angular.io/guide/form-validation out of the box, vs installing and using https://formik.org/

Or perhaps https://angular.io/guide/router vs https://reactrouter.com/en/main

Even adding something that's not there out of the box is pretty much the same, like https://primeng.org/ or https://primereact.org/

React will typically have more fragmentation and therefore also choice, but I don't see those two experiences as that different. Updates and version management/supply chain will inevitably be more of a mess with the library, admittedly.

Now, projects like Next https://nextjs.org/ exist and add what some might regard as the missing pieces and work well if you want something opinionated and with lots of features out of the box, but a lot of those features (like SSR) are actually pretty advanced and not always even necessary.

Next.js: For the website and the admin dashboard

Until the time of writing, there is no official example of how to enable runtime environmental variables in a Dockerized Next.js app, as utilizing unstable_noStore would only dynamically evaluate variables on the server (node.js runtime). There is also an interesting discussion regarding this topic on GitHub.

next.js is a very popular React framework. remix-adonisjs includes more functionality through the AdonisJS backend ecosystem, and should be easier to self-host and self-manage.

Remember to start the Next.js server with pnpm dev.
