Scully VS Next.js

In recent years, projects like Vercel's NextJS and Gatsby have garnered acclaim and higher and higher usage numbers. Not only that, but their core concepts of Server Side Rendering (SSR) and Static Site Generation (SSG) have been seen in other projects and frameworks such as Angular Universal, ScullyIO, and NuxtJS. Why is that? What is SSR and SSG? How can I use these concepts in my applications?

I just spent like 4 hours trying to resolve some dependencies in my angular project so I can install skully - a static site generator in my angular project. And I am exhausted.

There are several solutions to get around the routing issue. One is to use MPA's (multi page applications). Both Angular (Angular Universal, Scully, and more recently released Analog) and React (NextJs and Remix) have meta-frameworks that provide a server side rendered solution.

Unfortunately, there are no options that I know of. There is a new meta-framework for Angular called Analog but it is not yet ready for SSR. If you need SSG, there is Scully. Other than that, you will have to wait for the Angular Team to fix their Universal project or switch to one of the meta-frameworks :)

Make sure to checkout the Scully Docs.

As for Angular, there's the official @angular/universal package, but I wasn't a fan of it the last time I used it. I've used Scully before and it worked great, plus it requires no changes to your code, unlike Universal.

Scully, static site generation

Take a look at Scully. It’s a static site generator for Angular apps.

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

We want to share with you the best testing setup we've experienced - and this includes using Playwright and NextJS. It's a setup we've come up with for Infinite React DataGrid, which is a complex component, with lots of things to test, but this configuration has helped us ship with more confidence and speed.

If you're acquainted with NextJs, the directives will come as no surprise.

Deploying a full-stack Next.js web app can seem complex, but with the right tools, it's straightforward. This tutorial will cover the essentials to get your app up and running quickly:

This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

This article contrasts two whales: Next.js vs Node.js. Both projects are open-source but have different use cases. Next is React-based, which supports static and server-rendered pages, helping build dynamic and hybrid applications thanks to its automatic static optimization feature. Node is a runtime environment for implementing JavaScript code outside the browser, particularly on the server.
