Solito – React Native and Next.js, Unified
wow, that's a weird limitation.
The README says: "SSR is currently disabled for the Next.js app as the app will be fully client-side rendered for iOS and Android. This is a limitation we are working to address in a future update."
I guess it's because CapacitorJS pre-bundles the entire PWA for the App Stores:
"Of course, you also could load the app completely remotely by changing the server.url configuration for Capacitor to point to your SSR'ed Next.js app, but that has other challenges such as App Store approval if the app doesn't check the boxes for Apple to qualify it as an app that has enough native integration (at that point this is on you, not Capacitor)"
https://github.com/mlynch/nextjs-tailwind-ionic-capacitor-st...
But I don't understand why SSR would be disabled for the NextJS PWA on the web?
Maybe Max Lynch aka. @mlynch aka. @yesimahuman could provide some insight here.

What framework do you use for styling?
If you want to use something like tailwind to customize the content of your pages, that is a decent option. You would use Ionic for the shell and Tailwind for your page designs. Take a look at this example if you want to explore that route (in React though): https://github.com/mlynch/nextjs-tailwind-ionic-capacitor-starter

Any recommendation to port a production SPA to Nextjs?
Max Lynch from Ionic has a great repo demonstrating this. He uses it to get Next to work with Ionic and Capacitor but the idea is essentially the same.

Next.js 12
Agreed! Next.js works great with this model! I’d recommend Capacitor over Cordova (similar but more modern). Here’s an example: https://github.com/mlynch/nextjs-tailwind-ionic-capacitor-st...

Next-Auth equivalent CRA
You can use Next with React Router, making it function exactly as a React app with nested routes. This project shows this working with Ionic's router, but the same setup can be used with React Router for the same outcome.

Converting a nextjs web app into a mobile app
Also, note that this repository is a boilerplate for all 3, which uses ionic capacitor, in one repository: https://github.com/mlynch/nextjs-tailwind-ionic-capacitor-starter , I guess it is not using nextjs SSR capability though.

Build Mobile Apps with Tailwind CSS, Next.js, Ionic Framework, and Capacitor
If you're confused by all the project names and how they work together, don't worry, I'll break down each part of the stack each project is concerned with, along with some visuals and code samples demonstrating how all the projects work together. At the end I'll share a starter project with these technologies installed and working together that can form the foundation of your next app.

React Server Components Example with Next.js
In the Changelog Podcast episode referenced above, Dan Abramov alluded to Parcel working on RSC support as well. I couldn’t find much to back up that claim aside from a GitHub issue discussing directives and a social media post by Devon Govett (creator of Parcel), so I can’t say for sure if Parcel is currently a viable option for developing with RSCs.

JS Toolbox 2024: Bundlers and Test Frameworks
Parcel 2 emphasizes a zero-configuration approach to bundling web applications. It's a powerful tool that offers a hassle-free developer experience, focusing on simplicity and speed.

Build a Vite 5 backend integration with Flask
Once you build a simple Vite backend integration, try not to complicate Vite's configuration unless you absolutely must. Vite has become one of the most popular bundlers in the frontend space, but it wasn't the first and it certainly won't be the last. In my 7 years of building for the web, I've used Grunt, Gulp, Webpack, esbuild, and Parcel. Snowpack and Rome came-and-went before I ever had a chance to try them. Bun is vying for the spot of The New Hotness in bundling, Rome has been forked into Biome, and Vercel is building a Rust-based Webpack alternative.

Building Node.js applications without dependencies
I’ve tried something similar on the frontend side: I decided to build a UI for Ollama.ai using only HTML, CSS, and JS (Single-Page Application). The goal is to learn something new and have zero runtime dependencies on other projects and NPM modules. Only Node and Parcel.js (https://parceljs.org/) are needed during development for serving files, bundling, etc. The only runtime dependency is a modern browser.
Here's what I have found so far:
- JavaScript (vanilla) is a viable alternative to React.js

11 Ways to Optimize Your Website
Besides Webpack, there are many other popular web bundlers available, such as Parcel, Esbuild, Rollup, and more. They all have their own unique features and strengths, and you should make your decision based on the needs and requirements of your specific project. Please refer to their official websites for details.

Bun vs Node.js: Everything you need to know
In the Node.js ecosystem, bundling is typically handled by third-party tools rather than Node.js itself. Some of the most popular bundlers in the Node.js world include Webpack, Rollup, and Parcel, offering features like code splitting, tree shaking, and hot module replacement.

JavaScript Gom Jabbar
There are projects attempting to do more things. I've really enjoyed Parcel (https://parceljs.org). But it won't handle things like linting or unit testing, which you may or may not want. Vite is also pretty popular (https://vitejs.dev/), and it has a test runner.
Thing is, most of the problems described in the post aren't related to low-JS front-end libraries like HTMX or alpine. You can write React without a linter, bundler, build tool, unit testing, or linting. But with any of these projects at scale, you start wanting more:
- If you want to write unit tests in JS, you need to choose a test runner (probably Jest or Vitest -- until the built-in node testing module becomes more common).
- If you want linting, you need a linter (probably Eslint). If you want type safety, you need a type checker (probably Typescript).
- If you want to create smaller JS files to ship to production and to automatically handle assets, you need a bundler.
- If you want to use new language features while supporting old browsers, you need polyfills.
- If you want to use all these things together, you need something to bring it together (like Webpack).
So it really depends what you need! You may not need any. But as you can imagine, in many professional projects with multiple developers it's very nice to have unit tests, linting, and type checking :) (And you start caring about end-user performance a lot more, in which case optimizing the shipped bundle is important.)
Take all that, and then compare to a language like Rust, which has most of the "ecosystem stuff" built-in. In Rust, you get the test runner, the linter, dependency manager, type checker, and documentation tool all included. Easy! Thankfully, Rust doesn't have to care about whether users support modern language features (because it compiles down to lower code ahead of time), or whether the binary shipped to the client is optimally organized for downloading immediately over the internet.
It's a problem in JS because A) you have to care about more problems than many other languages since JS needs to load instantly over the wire in a web browser, and B) there is a huge amount of choice and not a lot of standardization in web tools. (And what standardization there is (Node, npm), there are still competitors trying to even further reduce the pain points.)
I think that in ten more years, we'll be in a better place, because there is push back (like this post!) against these problems, which will encourage more tools trying to solve the explosion of tools. Which seems counterintuitive, but these tools were created to solve very real problems. So I see it as a pendulum which has swung too far, but will likely swing back to a more balanced place. And you see that with tools like Vite gaining popularity.

Whatever It Takes
My first challenge here was the migration from vanilla JS to utilizing tools like Parcel and React. React, I was a bit familiar with; however, I had never heard of Parcel.js in my life. Several days were spent troubleshooting why my build process was not working on Netlify before I finally found out that I had to set up my Netlify Build Settings specifically for using a bundler like Parcel.js

How To Secure Your JavaScript Applications
Bundling: Webpack, Parcel, Rollup
What are some alternatives?
Next.js - The React Framework
vite - Next generation frontend tooling. It's fast!
vike - 🔨 Like Next.js / Nuxt but as do-one-thing-do-it-well Vite plugin.
esbuild - An extremely fast bundler for the web
supabase - The open source Firebase alternative.
gulp - A toolkit to automate & enhance your workflow
