razzle VS compiled

Documentation

You don't need NextJS for SSR. There are less opinionated alternatives like Remix that was built by the React Router team and is backed by Shopify now, you can use something like Razzle or one of its alternatives for semi-opinionated pure SSR or follow the Vite Docs and just do it yourself with express.

Razzle: I've never used it personally, but based on what I can tell it seems to be an attempt to enhance the Create React App concept, enabling CSR/SSR while also working well with libraries other than React.

Razzle is a tool for building Universal applications: applications that can execute their JavaScript on the server. Or the client. Or both. Razzle uses a plugin architecture that allows you to change your mind about how you build your application. It will even let you change your mind about building your code in React, Preact, or some other framework entirely, like Elm or Vue.

5 Razzle Razzle Razzle uses this method to operate with a variety of frameworks, including Angular, Preact, Vue, Svelte, and not just React. While your app is running, just type rs in the console and press Enter to restart your server.

Ya... the answer is react ssr. I like razzle but there are others.

Somehow at the interview I was asked "what i think about difficulty of configuring Webpack for Linaria, at that moment I realized, what to find a solution to set up Linaria with SSR is not simple task", but I will show you the final result for example Razzle config:

Each component is isolated and tested separately before being exported as a complete unit. It simplifies testing, because you just have to deal with this one component if you wish to make a little change. Bit is also great for test-driven development because of its component isolation.It is available for personal and open source projects at no cost. 9.Razzle Razzle simplifies SSR configuration by encapsulating it in a single dependency. It provides developers with a similar experience to create-react-app, but with more control over frameworks, routing, and data fetching.

Razzle - Build production ready React applications. Razzle is toolchain for modern static and dynamic websites and web applications

It Is Serverside Rendering Framework As Well And This Provide Much More Flexibility. Razzle Docs

tags inside SFCs are typically injected as native </code> tags during development to support hot updates. <strong>For production they can be extracted and merged into a single CSS file.</strong></p> </blockquote> <p>There are also 3rd party CSS libs that do the same thing such as <a href="https://linaria.dev/">linaria</a>, <a href="https://vanilla-extract.style/">vanilla-extract</a>, and <a href="https://compiledcssinjs.com/">compiled CSS</a>. Which can be used in the event you're stuck with something that doesn't have baked in support via SFC formats (looking at you React).</p> <p>These are my preferred ways of handing it.</p> <ol> <li>Tailwind</li> </ol> <p>Option 2 is tailwind, which works backwards.</p> <p>That is, instead of the above with extraction where you write the styles, and the framework or libs extract them and replace them with class names, it's the other way around.</p> <p>You're writing class names first (which are essentially aggregated CSS property-values) which then generate and/or reference styles.</p> <p>It has the advantage of being easy to write (assuming you've got editor LSP, linting, etc), but as you've discovered, it's difficult to read / can get really messy really fast.</p> <p>As far as all the other claims on the Tailwind site, it's all marketing, at least 80% bullshit.</p> </div>

Your choice of CSS lib. Bootstrap can still be a valid choice, tho you may want to check the docs of whatever SSR / SSG framework you end up using as they may have better (or worse support). For example if you wanted to do CSS-in-JS (Next) i'd consider Linaria, vanilla-extract, or compiled.

So to be extremely clear, the issue isn't CSS-in-JS per se, it's just that the author only looked at implementations that don't generate create CSS files. He notably mentioned the (apparent) zero-runtime solutions Vanilla Extract and Linaria, only to skip them and complain that Compiled inserts nodes at runtime.

Compiled (Compile time CSS-in-JS solution from Atlassian)

Stitches Is near zero runtime and vanilla-extract claims it's zero runtime and typed. There's atlassian compiled as well but I never used it.

Author here, I haven't had time to play around with it, but this library[0] from Atlassian looks like a "best of the both worlds" styling approach: CSS-in-JS authorship without the runtime penalty.
