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

• Angular vs. React vs. Vue.js: Comparing performance
  16 projects | dev.to | 6 Sep 2023

  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.

  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

• Http TransferHttpCacheModule for POST

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

• From Angular to Remix: Route by route migration
  2 projects | dev.to | 30 Jan 2023

  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; }

• Using a TransferHttpCacheModule for POST
  1 project | /r/Angular2 | 17 Jan 2023

  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?
