Going to the source code of the CommonEngine we have this:

Angular executes applications in the browser and renders pages in the DOM by default. This default method of rendering in the client comes with disadvantages like poor performance and lack of visibility for search engine crawlers. Luckily, Angular allows us to opt-in for server-side rendering (SSR) through Angular Universal, its official SSR solution.

Example rules based on Angular Universal's gotchas:

About standalone support there's this issue in angular/universal and yes, it is supported now 🥳 Tomorrow I'll try making it work in local

Actually I notice in the last few days they might have done a fix for it = https://github.com/angular/universal/issues/1795

export function app(): express.Express { const server = express(); const distFolder = join(BROWSER_FILES_BASE_PATH, 'angular'); const indexHtml = existsSync(join(distFolder, 'index.original.html')) ? 'index.original.html' : 'index'; // Our Universal express-engine (found @ https://github.com/angular/universal/tree/main/modules/express-engine) server.engine( 'html', ngExpressEngine({ bootstrap: AppServerModule, }) ); server.set('view engine', 'html'); server.set('views', distFolder); server.use( '/browser', express.static(join(BROWSER_FILES_BASE_PATH, 'remix'), { immutable: true, maxAge: '1y', }) ); server.get( '/remix*', createRequestHandler({ build: require('../build/server/remix'), }) ); // Example Express Rest API endpoints // server.get('/api/**', (req, res) => { }); // Serve static files from /browser server.get( '*.*', express.static(distFolder, { maxAge: '1y', }) ); // All regular routes use the Universal engine server.get('*', (req, res) => { res.render(indexHtml, { req, providers: [{ provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue: req.baseUrl }], }); }); return server; }

I've located the module that already deals with the GET requests = https://github.com/angular/universal/blob/main/modules/common/src/transfer_http.ts So I've made my own interceptor and replaced the GETs mentioed on lines 75 and 95, however it doesn't seem to work. Only thing I can see is the original code references BrowserTransferStateModule which is crossed out. Do I need to replace that with something else?

Do you inject a token that is provided by SSR? Even though standalone has not reached ExpressEngine, but if you have the root AppModule and the root AppComponent non standalone, you can still use provideHttpClient. To inject a server provided string (specifically, the serverUrl), you can use inject function like this:

Now, it's time to consume our API. We'll use React for this tutorail, but feel free to use any other framework you prefer; the process remains the same. Additionally, we'll utilize SWR to fetch data from the API and TypeScript to ensure type safety.

'use client'; import FormPostUpdate from './components/FormPostUpdate/FormPostUpdate'; import FormDelete from '../app/components/FormDelete/FormDelete'; import { useFetch } from './hooks/useFetch'; import { useFetchSWR } from './hooks/useFetchSWR'; import Chart from './components/Chart/Chart'; export default function Home() { // Uncomment the code below and comment out the "useFetch" code if your want to use SWR for data fetching --> https://swr.vercel.app/docs/with-nextjs // const { data, error, isLoading } = useFetchSWR( // 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/anime/' // ); // Uses the Fetch API for data fetching const { data, error, isLoading } = useFetch( 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/anime/' ); if (error) return

An error has occurred.

; if (isLoading) return

Loading...

; console.log(data); return ( <>

POST: Add Anime Form

UPDATE: Update Anime Form

Select an ID from the list. You can change the data for Anime ID, Name and Release.

DELETE: Delete Anime Form

GET: Anime Data List

{data.map((anime) => (

• {anime.anime_name}

• ID: {anime.id}
• Anime ID: {anime.anime_id}
• Anime Release Year: {anime.anime_release}

))}

); }

There are libraries like SWR, RTK Query, and React Query that simplify the data fetching process on the client and take care of the state, error handling, caching, and re-fetching for you.

Then install the package SWR into your application with the following command:

SWR

I would suggest taking a look at SWR [0]. I think it strikes a very nice balance between using fetch and something more heavy-handed like React Query.

Check out the official documentation for SWR here

SWR: A React Hooks library for remote data fetching. It supports features like caching, revalidation, error handling, prefetching, pagination, and support for SSG and SSR. Its bundle size is 10kb minified and 4.4kb gzipped
