next.js VS Express

While it's technically possible to do things like compile React entirely out of an exported NextJS site, it's far from trivial and doesn't fit most usage very well. It's certainly a harder mental model at the very least.

Disable all your chrome extensions. As recommended here https://github.com/zeit/next.js/issues/10246

I implemented this code on express by copying some parts from the documentation example. However it still seems to cause a page reload when i go to the article page using a .

Express: A lightweight framework for building web applications.

Now, we will create API using expressjs. When we created application using --ssr flag, the Angular CLI already took care of installing expressjs for us.

First, we import express. The Express framework allows us to create routes that will respond to webhook POST requests and serve an HTML file when a GET request is made to the root of the site.

Basic Knowledge of Express

Express.js Documentation

In the JavaScript ecosystem, there are guides for enabling SAML-based enterprise single sign-on in AdonisJS, Express.js, Next.js, Remix, and React with an Express.js backend.

Starting off strong with Express.js, the cool kid on the block for building web apps. It's lightweight, flexible, and doesn't throw a tantrum when you ask it to scale. With Express, you can handle HTTP requests like a pro, play around with middleware, set up routes without breaking a sweat, and render views that make your app look stunning. Big names like Netflix and Uber are already on board, and if it's good enough for them, it's definitely worth a peek.

Now we can install both Express and Socket.io libraries:
