  • Responsive Rendering With SSR

    This! If you want to limit double rendering afterwards you could look into something like fresnel to automatically unmount unused breakpoints’ components after hydration.
  • How to combine React Native Web + responsivity + NextJS SSR, to get SEO
    5 projects | dev.to | 8 Sep 2021
    This article is extracted from this github discussion, which goes into greater detail on how to achieve this with the libraries Dripsy (a component design system) and Fresnel (SSR w/ media queries).
  • SSR for multiple breakpoints using React

    Also, take a look at a library @artsy/fresnel, which uses a similar approach to solve CLS issues in server-side rendered applications.
  • Magnus UI vs. Dripsy - Chakra UI alternatives for React Native (+Web)
    7 projects | dev.to | 10 Jun 2021
    If you want both SSR and RNW, then you are not so lucky. But you can read my research of the options you have, in this discussion: How to combine React Native Web (RNW) + Responsive styles (media queries) + NextJS Server-Side Rendering (SSR), to get SEO on the web. If you don't want to make a compromise like the current options, there is a library called Fresnel, which has some promise to afford this combination. But it is not quite there yet. So please consider contributing to Fresnel in the RNW+NextJS compatibility issue or the useMedia() hook issue, so that Dripsy could be upgraded to use Fresnel again to support SSR.
  • How to use ChakraUI on native mobile?
    9 projects | dev.to | 1 Apr 2021
    Uses actual CSS breakpoints on web, to become responsive, even when using SSR. Uses Fresnel to achieve this. CSS breakpoints on web will rely on the mobile device's user agent for most cases. But since this can be inaccurate, it also uses pre-emptive server-side breakpoint generation. Basically, if the mobile user-agent cannot be accurately detected, Fresnel renders all media query breakpoints on the server (a bit of extra work for the server, since it might lead to rendering more components). So the client's browser will receive all breakpoints on first render and can immediately start rendering according to the correct ones. Instead of waiting for React to rehydrate before only then running the media queries with CSS-in-JS, which would have given latency and potentially unwanted visual side-effects. This becomes most acute when you are using SSR, and thus don't want to wait for rehydration on the client to start showing the responsively laid out content.
